HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR TRAVEL PILLOW
A good travel pillow can make the difference between a comfortable, enjoyable journey and a bad experience. Sitting in the wrong position for a prolonged period can cause various issues, such as neck and cervical strain, fatigue, and heavy snoring. Travel pillows are strategically designed to alleviate these conditions by reducing the pressure on your neck and shoulders caused by limited space on a plane and the natural external pressure exerted on your body. Therefore, choosing the ideal travel pillow for your body is essential, check our tips below to choose the best travel pillow!
Try Them All!
It sounds obvious, but this is the best advice we can give you: try a pillow before you buy it. Comfort is paramount.
At Be Relax, we offer a large selection of pillows, from inflatable versions with soft fabric and 3-in-1 designs to pillows with chin support, eco-friendly options for mindful travelers, shiatsu-focused choices, and even pillows for kids!
It’s All About the Size
Comfort is crucial when traveling, but size is also important.
If you never have space in your luggage, opt for an inflatable version. If you pack light, consider a more high-end version, such as our Pure Touch and Sleep Therapy pillows. Another great option is multi-use pillows, which come in smaller versions but can transform into larger pillows in different formats. These are useful for long layovers, car travel, or even weekend hikes.
It Depends on Your Needs
Even after choosing a high-quality pillow, if you still wake up with neck tension, go for a massager pillow. This type combines the comfort of a regular travel pillow with the added benefit of neck massage, thanks to its rotating heads. It treats neck strain and relieves sore muscles, guaranteeing complete relaxation!
Do you travel with your earphones on? Look for options designed to be used with a headset, offering versatile comfort and a smart shape. Check out our Sleep Therapy pillow, crafted to provide comfort while you listen to music.
Eco-Friendly Options
Have you tried all the pillows on the market but found none of them environmentally friendly? Many travelers aim to reduce their environmental footprint and prefer to avoid products that could harm the planet. That’s why we’ve developed an eco-friendly option that provides the same relaxation as other pillows. Made of organic cotton infused with soybean extract, you can enjoy a travel pillow without any concerns about your environmental impact.
Choose Your Fabric
If you have sensitive skin, opt for soft fabric instead of inflatable pillows. Do you always sweat on the plane? Look for pillows made with Tencel, a breathable and soft fabric. For frequent travelers, we suggest a pillow with a removable cover that you can wash. At Be Relax, we choose soft fabric for every pillow, from inflatable to microbeads, and all our Be Relax Memory Foam Pillows have removable covers!
We hope our tips for choosing the best travel pillow helped you to have a better idea of the options available on the market and how to approach them. Find more details about Be Relax travel pillows on our website or stop by one of our Be Relax spas for a fitting session!
