On-the-go Comfort

Everyone likes to be comfortable, but especially so when we travel. Whether we are going by airplane, bus, or train there are products designed to make the trip more enjoyable. One of the most popular is a travel pillow that supports your neck and head. There are a wide variety of styles to suit every traveler and make him or her more comfortable. For those that are short on space in their discount luggage carryon bag, there's the inflatable neck rest. These are luxurious and create a cloud-soft cushion that cradles your head and neck. The pillow can inflate to the desired firmness of support and pack easily into a small travel pouch that can be tucked away easily. Other styles of headrests are made of a state-of-the-art Polystyrene bead-fill which custom contours to each user's anatomy. These will shift in response to the body's motion for a continuous personalized support. These pillows have a wear-resistant Polyester/Spandex cover with built-in clip for easy transport. The clip will attach to your carry bag. The U-shaped design of the pillow converts to a multi-use roll for head cushioning, and lower back support or leg elevation. This unique design accommodates both seated and reclined passengers whether you are traveling by plane, train or bus. There are also travel pillows of "memory foam." These adjust to your body's heat and weight and "remember" its shape. They can be "rolled" more compactly into your carryon. One thing all of the pillows have in common is that they are engineered for on-the-go comfort, and can make long trips less tiring and more comfortable. With pillows, we naturally cannot forget travel blankets. These fold compactly for storage and are machine washable. They are a roomy 60"x38" when open are made of a lightweight polyester fleece. You can rest easier when your head and neck are cradled, and you are toasty warm. Some models of travel blankets have a pocket where you tuck your travel pillow inside. There are also models in smaller sizes made for children.

For those that like to sleep soundly while traveling, there are eyeshades and earplugs available. The eyeshades will shut out light for a sounder, more relaxing sleep. Foldable and compact, they can easily be tucked away with your other travel accessories. They are made of hi-tech molded neoprene construction with is contoured for a cool, comfortable fit. They have "eye-lash room" which minimizes the eye pressure and light penetration. They are complete with elasticized head straps to adjust to everyone. Earplugs will also help to reduce disturbing noises so you can rest easily. There are noise- canceling headphones that will block out background noises so you can focus on listening to music. They are a lightweight, comfortable headset that provides crystal-clear audio with 17 dB of noise cancellation across the entire sound spectrum. They also fold up for easy carrying. To reduce air pressure and harsh noise there is a product called EarPlanes. These are safe and disposable.

Small portable book lights will let you enjoy your magazine or book reading without eyestrain. There are rechargeable models that will stay lit for 18 hours when fully charged. No need to worry about batteries and the extra weight carrying batteries brings. These book lights have four super-bright LED lights, and two levels of light with and a dimmer switch to ensure complete reading comfort. Slim rubberized body clips will secure the light to books. The Crickett Booklight now comes with reading glasses built right in. The light activates with the push of a button. These book lights are so handy they make perfect corporate gifts. Company names or logos can be silk-screened on the bases.

Back problems can be reduced with inflatable backrests. These are convenient and compact and they fit easily into your lightweight luggage carryon or briefcase. They provide comfort and lower back support while traveling and they deflate for easy storage. They are made of a soft, flocked comfortable material. The safety valve will prevent air leakage for long trips. The specially designed contoured ribs are the ultimate in back support and comfort. They easily deflate using the pinching valve. All of these travel accessories will make your trip more comfortable. Travelsox offer superior comfort and gradual compression that helps stimulate blood flow and swelling on flights.
