Useful on Various Modes of Transport


Long-haul flights, especially in economy class, can be taxing. Have you ever found yourself unable to settle into a comfortable sleeping position, or woken up with a sore neck?

The "Pockindo™ Travel Pillow" is an item designed to solve this inconvenience. On airplanes, you must sleep while seated, and gravity pulls your head forward. Most cushions are not designed to support this posture.

This item features a shape that tilts the pillow forward, supporting the head and upper body. Its design focuses on the posture adopted when falling asleep, allowing for a comfortable position without straining the arms.

It was conceived by a group of businessmen who frequently flew for business trips. Osteopaths and physicians also participated in its development, ensuring a design that was thoroughly user-centric.

It's ideal not only for flights but also for train, bus, and car journeys. On various types of seats, you can find the optimal position by passing your arm through the cushion's opening. The design prevents arm compression, ensuring no pain in the arms or shoulders even during long naps.

It's an inflatable type, like a balloon, and folds compactly when not in use, making it easy to carry. The material is gentle on the skin and soft to the touch. Additionally, it's hand-washable, so you can always maintain a clean state, which is a welcome feature.
