I just wonder if it would still work good if the person in front of you has their seat reclined. It looks like a pretty comfortable way to sleep on a plane to me. Just looking for some fellow traveler opinions. Thanks!

I can't imagine that it would work if the seat in front of you is reclined. I don't think it looks all that comfortable anyway. It appears that any time there was movement in front of you that you would feel it. I guess if you're a heavy sleeper it might work as long as you can sleep in an upright position and there's room for it between the seats. I always request a window seat and just lean into the window with a blanket as a pillow.

I have never see it before, but it looks like it would be difficult if the seat in front is in recline mode. And it seems pretty expensive.

I always bring a regular blow-up neck pillow, which helps a lot.

Oh wow. That looks uncomfortable and like it would be VERY annoying. What do you do with it when you want to eat something? It seems like it would be a lot of hassle.

I saw someone using one and at the time thought what would happen if the person in front reclined their seat suddenly..like a giant punch to the solar plexus with the tray table! Looked to me like you'd have a giant back ache to boot.

Tres dangerous!!! Somebody is going to get sued as soon as the seat in front is reclined. Between the pillow and the tray table - trouble! And as asked above, where do you put it when not in use?

Sounds like everyone but me thinks this is a bad idea. I've had the neck pillow for a long time and it just doesn't seem to work unless I can lean against a window with it, and turn the thing kinda sideways, which still causes a crick in my neck. Figured I could set this new thing on the floor under my legs if I needed to use the tray table for a meal, or just deflate after I got a good sleep. Actually, I usually skip the meals on an overnight flight and just try to go to sleep. Well, thanks for the opinions. I'll have to think this over some more.

Actually, I took a small travel pillow (Walmart, $2.50) that is 4x bigger than the airplane ones, and napped in a similar position. It was much more comfortable than head lolling back or to the side. The neck pillows don't cut it for me. Even leaning into the window wasn't as comfortable as leaning forward. You don't have the subconscious feeling of having to stop yourself from falling sideways. I didn't try until after the movie and cabin lights were off...
Maybe you should just try it next time (but I wouldn't bother with this oversized sofa cushion)...

Oh... forgot to say the first reason it appealed to me. I have been known to take quick naps at my desk on a lunch break, by stacking up a few thick folders on the desktop in front of me and laying my head on them. It works really well when I need that refresher nap.

Anyway... I don't think the laying forward would bother me, personally.

Idnas-
I've also been curious about the pillow. I can't sleep with my head back- I snore. quot;>

BTW- it's inflatable, so you just deflate it when done. Also, the picture shows the seat in front reclined- it might be more comfortable in that position. I wish there was someone who had tried it...

Hi.

I have used this pillow extensively on a recent trip to India. It helped me in many situations, including a long layover in Singapore. It's not perfect but it allows for an alternate posture, or, I should say options for alternate postures for sleeping. If you have a window seat it can be used, besides the advertized method, to put between you and the window as a cushion and insulator. At various inflation levels and orientations it will accomodate a person of just about any size. Remember, you can lay it on it's side too. As mentioned, I used it in Singapore as a foot rest so that I could lay back in an ordinary chair, put my feet up and sleep comfortably. On the train, when inflated to only about 30% it made a great backrest for sitting in my berth. It can be deflated very quickly if it's in the way and inflating is also easy if you just leave the removable valve out, pull out the sides so that it forms a cube and then put the valve in- and voila- it's 75% full of air. Just a few breaths of air and its full.

USA Today had an article on travel pillows last week:
