Travel Rest Travel Pillow
Wondering if anyone has tried out this new pillow design: http://www.travelrest.net/ I'm a leaner when I sleep (normally a side sleeper in bed), and like to hold something. Wondering how comfy this is, easy to set up in standard Y seats, and if it's worth a try?

Well, I'm going to try it. I have it on order and we'll see what I think when it gets here. I'm someone who has a lot of trouble sleeping on my back, so if I can use this to lean a bit, I might be able to sleep better in Y (and even the old C seats on UA). Will report back.

TravelRest - The Ultimate Travel Pillow
Amber,
I have used this travel pillow and love it. It deflates to a very small size so it fits easily in my purse and is light weight. I've used it about 6 times on flights from SFO to England and absolutely love it. Wouldn't take a long flight without it now. It's versatile in that you can either attach it to the seat back or wear it like a messenger bag (my preferred method). My son also uses it in longer car trips and sleeps much comfortably. I bought it after reading a bunch of reviews about it on Amazon.com. My only complaint about it is that it collects lint easily but just used my lint brush on it occasionally. I bought it on amazon.com but it's also available on www.travelrest.net as there are better discounts for purchasing two or more on that site.

BHartman, thank you for your review! I've been eyeing it for about 6 months, but pulled the trigger on the order last week. Ordered from eBay as I actually got a better return policy from a vendor there than direct from manufacturer, unfortunately. I think it will arrive Monday/Tuesday (depending on whether the delivery company considers Monday a holiday). Hope I like it as much as you and your son.
Lexi, I'll report back, both preliminary and after next major flights, though that series isn't until August.

Mine arrived yesterday, but haven't had time to unroll and inflate yet. I will say that I'm pleased with the deflated/rolled size of it.

Lexi, my apologies. I took it with me to Italy, but ended up upgrading to C, so didn't have use for it. However, I'll be traveling to BWI next month, don't plan to upgrade, am sitting on the aisle, so will try it out then and report!
