Are Travel Pillows Worth The Trouble?
2:34 PM PST, 8/18/2010
With the high cost of travel these days, one might wonder if it is worth the trouble to take a travel pillow and/or travel blanket along on a trip.
In my opinion, it depends on a few different things:
1. How long is your flight and how rested do you want to be when you get there?
On long flights, and those that fly late at night, there isn't much to do but sleep. Sure there are movies but what do you do when the movies are turned off because most of the cabin is sleeping? Airlines are now charging passengers for the use of airline blankets and pillows and do you really want to pay $5 for one small pillow that does nothing to help you sleep better in a already cramped seat.
Have you ever slept leaning on the window, or maybe leaning on the person next to you using your jacket or sweater folded up as a pillow? How did that work out for you?
Why not have your very own travel pillow that you know is clean because you are the ONLY one that used it, and it easily stows in your carry on bag. You could even take along an anti-bacterial Dust Mite Free pillow case to cover the pillow while traveling.
2. Do you enjoy arriving at your travel desination totally worn out from no sleep because you booked the cheapest "red eye" flight you could find. Why do you think they call it the "Red Eye".
With today's economy, we are all shopping for cheaper flights so why not arrive a little more rested because you at least got a little sleep while using a quality head and neck pillow that comforts your head and neck.
Travel does not have to be a chore. There are so many things on the market now that allow you to enjoy every trip you take without breaking the bank.
To You Success!
