"Sleep And Rest Better On Your Next Trip. I Can Show You How Memory Foam Travel Pillows Help"

Are you shopping for memory foam travel pillows? Were you also considering the tempurpedic travel pillow?

Hi, I'm pilot Paul. I spend a lot of time traveling. Not all of it is in the cockpit of my 767. I spend a lot of time on crew rest breaks on our long-haul international flights. My family also travels extensively.

If you're like me, it's always wonderful catching some sleep while traveling as a passenger. Without a good travel pillow, that can be a difficult task.

If you read that, you'll discover the fact that the memory foam travel pillows are the best.

Memory foam is remarkable material. If you've never experienced the soft supportiveness of memory foam, you're missing out.

The memory foam actually molds to the contours of your body in response to its shape, weight and warmth. The result is a perfect fit, which helps you sleeping comfortably.

The tempurpedic travel pillow ® is the "name brand" that most people think of with memory foam. While the tempurpedic memory foam travel pillows® are an excellent product, I think that it is a bit over-priced. You'll pay about $20 more for a "name brand" tempurpedic travel pillow® than you will for other memory foam travel pillows.

The material seems the same in both.

At Pilot Paul's Travel Accessories, we strive to recommend not only the best products, but also the best value.

Rather than referring you to a merchant to get an over-priced tempurpedic travel pillow® , I've found two others that will cost you less and serve you better. Both of these are priced the same.

Pilot Paul's Recommendations For Memory Foam Travel Pillows

This excellent travel accessory will serve you well. If you price shop, you'll find this one priced $20 less than the tempurpedic travel pillow.

Here's some more information about my first recommendation:

Memory Foam Travel Pillow Core UShape Visco Elastic Memory Foam Neck Travel Pillow The Visco Elastic Memory Foam Travel Pillow allows you to sleep as well while traveling as you do at home. The lobed design allows you to sleep sitting up on a plane, train, or bus as well as lying down.

Developed by a physician, Dr. Melvin Cheatham, this type can connect under your chin to give you support and comfort in all directions.

The Komfort Kollar® travel pillow comes in memory foam (recommended) as well as an inflatable model.

The following frequently asked questions are from the web site of the merchant who exclusively sells this great travel accessory:

Aren't these the same pillows people wear after a car accident?

No. They may bear a small resemblance, but these are fundamentally different from cervical pillows that physicians prescribe to immobilize a patient's neck. In stark contrast, the Komfort Kollar® is designed to give you freedom of movement as you sleep while preventing your neck from flexing at angles that will cause muscle strain and the all too familiar "crick-in-the-neck." The Komfort Kollar® is not a medical product. It is a comfort product.

It looks constricting to me. Is it?

Actually, the Komfort Kollar® is designed to be relatively loose around your neck, and choosing the right size is key to finding the right fit. When the Wall St. Journal's travel writers tested it themselves, they reported, "your neck will thank you." When worn properly, the inflatable model gently cradles your head, and the foam model cushions your head even more.

How can I be sure which size is right for me?

The first step in determining your size is to take your neck measurement using a measuring tape. Our two models have slightly different sizing because one is filled with air while the other is filled with foam. Both models have an adjustable Velcro strap that allows you to wear your Kollar as snugly or as loosely as it suits you. If you order a Kollar that ends up being the wrong size, simply send it back and we will gladly send you the next size up or down.

Should I choose the inflatable or the memory-foam model?

This depends on where you plan to sleep in it, as well as your packing needs. The Wall St. Journal stated, "our tester claimed he could nap fairly well without any added support. Plus, it deflates to save space."

Our memory-foam model is not as compact, but it is far more soft and supportive than the inflatable. When packed, the foam model takes up about as much space a shoe in your luggage between flights, and it easily secures around the shoulder strap of your carry-on. Generally, the inflatable is good for air travel, while the foam model is good for all travel, especially road trips, train trips, and afternoon naps in your favorite chair.

I've been disappointed by other pillows. How is this any different?

Cheap pillows don't offer you better sleep, they just cost less. What makes the Komfort Kollar® worth the extra cost is its 360 degrees of support that gently cradles your head the way a top spine surgeon knows it should. Furthermore, the Kollar has been strengthen at key stress points to stand up to repeated use from one trip to the next. The Komfort Kollar® also comes with a choice of protective storage containers: either an envelope-shaped PVC pouch, or a zippered nylon storage tube, or "tote."

Do both models come with washable fabric covers?

No. Only the foam model currently ships with a washable fabric cover. The inflatable model's soft "flocked" PVC material is washable too.

Is there too much cushion behind my head? Will it push my head forward?

Both models have been tapered at the back to prevent your head from being pushed forward.

How does the Kollar feel against the skin?

The inflatable model's flocked PVC material is designed for long, soft and cool wear against the skin. The memory-foam model is a super-soft, 80% cotton velor that helps dissipate heat from long hours of wear.

Is the memory-foam model heavy on the shoulders?

No. We spent 18 months developing just the right consistency of foam to be soft on the neck and shoulders, yet firm enough to support your head and neck.

I have an elderly mother who sleeps sitting up. Would this be good for her?

The memory-foam model was expressly designed to help those who fall asleep sitting up, whether they're a teenager being driven to college or a senior napping in a retirement community. Both stand at equal risk of waking to a "crick" in the neck, but while teenagers are more resilient, seniors demand and deserve a higher quality of life, free from pain and discomfort.
