Travel Accessories - Designed For Comfort!
March 30th, 2008
We seem to be spending more time at airports, and on planes, trains, buses and ships today. Don’t you like to be comfortable when you’re traveling? There are many companies that have addressed this problem, and have designed products especially made with our comfort in mind! The most popular item has to be the travel pillow. While different seats are designed with different degrees of comfort, the travel pillow has to be the most necessary item. Especially on long trips, you can get very uncomfortable with neck and shoulder aches. My favorite travel pillow is made of memory foam. These adjust to your body’s heat and weight and remember it’s shape. They support the head and neck best, and are great for relaxing. The best ones have a removable, washable cover. These can also be compressed small so as not to take up too much room in your carry on luggage. Second choice would be one of the blow up travel pillows. These inflate and depress easily. They pack into a small travel pouch taking up little room in your over-stuffed carry on luggage. They also offer a cloud soft cushion to cradle your neck and head. The soft flocked vinyl is the most comfortable version. There’s also an inflatable lower back support pillow to go along with your neck pillow. These also come with a handy travel pouch. Additionally, there are microbeaded pillows that can be used for neck or back support. These unfortunately take more room and do not compress as easily. Fold-up travel blankets also offer comfort on long trips. Blankets are not always available or there are not always enough to go around. Comfort eye shades will reduce light and are comfortable to wear if you wish to sleep. Ear plugs would also be handy to reduce sound. The most comfortable models are foam covered and take up little room in your carry on luggage. If you experience ear discomfort on planes, consider Earplanes. These are safe, soft and disposable. They relieve air pressure, and also, as a plus, reduce harsh noise. They are made of soft hypoallergenic silicone and reduce noise by 20 decibels. There are children’s versions as well as adult versions. Many travelers swear by Travelsox. These offer superior comfort for airline trips. They give gradual compression which helps to stimulate blood flow and reduce swelling on long flights, car or train rides. They look like ordinary socks and they feel great. Now, grab a good book, bring along some snacks, and your set to travel in comfort!
