Total game changer when flying long hauls! I can never sleep when sitting in economy. I’m always shifting just to get a comfy position and if I do end up being able to fall asleep.. it’s only for an hour if I’m lucky and end up having stiff neck and shoulder pain , a headache or some limb getting numb. I recently bought this for our summer Europe trip – HNL-JFK , the JFK to ZRH, then FCO-BOS, BOS-HNL . All in economy.
The material is great, good quality. Zips up nicely. I like its compact design. The straps seemed a little overwhelming at first but it serves its function. It worked perfect for Hawaiian Air’s headrest for their 787 Dreamliner and A330. Not so well for ITA’s A330. I could not get the strap to slip through the back of the headrest..it was a bit too snug to secure the part for the arm sling. In the end I just ended up putting it around my shoulders rather than the headrest. This method wouldn’t be ideal for someone with a small frame. The padded eye cover velcro’s nicely against the head portion preventing one from being a bobble head. the arm sling acts as a “swaddle”. Now I realized how babies sleep comfortably when they’re swaddled! My arms did not get numb even when in the sling. Great investment for a traveller who needs to get some rest before arriving at their destination . Setting up 3 pieces sounds a lot especially when dealing in a tight spot and carry ons etc etc but getting a good rest out of it is worth it. Clips well to any bag with a strap so you don’t lost it , the zipper holds everything in place..you don’t need to worry about it opening up while on the move. Only downfall of having it secured behind headrests.. not all plane’s headrest can be friendly for it as with my situation on ITA but I’ll definately be using this for now on , esp on flights for more than 5hrs!
