2015 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE – Comfy Commuter Travel Pillow

Take it from an experienced traveler, red-eye coach class flights are uncomfortable. Rigid seating lacking foot room, no pillows or blankets supplied, in flight television lacking,lights off, service minimal, snack boxes at best available, the long hours coast to coast grind slowly. My head aches, my neck aches, and my back aches after every non-stop dead of night jaunt.

Stoics endure without complaint; critics stress. True scout me tries to come prepared. My one allowed personal item is stuffed with my clothes change, shawl, meds, toiletries, empty water bottle, food, snacks, iPhone, laptop, earphones, dvd’s, camera, chargers, game book, paperback, pen and paper, blanket, but what I lacked until recently is a perfect travel pillow.

My favorite daughter, who regularly transports me to and fro, stopped giving me bon voyage gifts years ago. Her reasoning was I am always either coming or going. So imagine my surprise when she handed me this as I was waving goodbye. Now I have a Comfy Commuter packed in what’s stored under the seat.

The Comfy Commuter is a travel pillow that doesn’t just lie there flat. Its slip resistant backing keeps it from sliding down, down, down as I sit. Constructed to keep the head up and neck supported, its eleven ounces allow me to rest and to sleep like a lamb. Its convenient side pocket means no more digging into my full bag for ear gadgets and credit card as I travel miles and miles before I sleep.

Don’t think I use it only away from home. It is a blessing when I lie in bed watching TV and reading. Oops! No worry. The Comfy Commuter is always clean and sanitary because it is completely washable.
