Blackout Travel Pillow

Actual support without the foam doughnut

Travel pillows are usually either supportive and massive or packable and useless. The Blackout Travel Pillow manages both – its patent-pending baffle design provides comfortable support from all angles without feeling like you're wearing a neck brace, yet it packs down to roughly the size of a water bottle. The soft bamboo material sits comfortably against skin for long-haul flights or cross-country Megabus missions, and the adjustable drawstring closure lets you customise the fit. A quick-inflate valve means you're not huffing into it for five minutes whilst everyone watches, and the removable washable cover keeps it fresh after multiple trips. At 73g, it's light enough to clip to the outside of your day pack without noticing. The sort of thing that makes economy seats almost bearable – as long as you’re not sat next to a weirdo, which sadly we can’t guarantee.
