Inflatable travel pillow

Ideal for minimalist travelers, this pillow inflates quickly and deflates for ultra-compact storage in any bag.

A compact inflatable travel pillow suits light packers, backpackers and frequent flyers who count every bit of bag space. It blows up in a few breaths for neck support on a plane or bus, then folds down into a small pouch when the trip is over.

Questions people ask

Does an inflatable travel pillow hold its air on a long flight?
Most hold air well when the valve is fully closed, though some may need a quick top-up during a long trip.
