Travel Neck Pillow Variations and Benefits

Leave a Comment

When people go on long trips, they often employ a travel neck pillow to give them the ability to sleep while sitting up. These pillows are designed to hold the neck partially upright while sitting in a chair. Users can let the muscles in their neck relax as they doze off. This is the best possible way to sleep comfortably without having access to a bed. Being that they are so small in size, they can be taken along just about anywhere.

An increasingly popular variety of neck pillow are the ones that feature cervical traction technology.  These types of pillows use a Y-shaped section that gives the neck a gentle stretch while sleeping. This highly ergonomic orientation can have a profound effect on posture and neck pain. When supported correctly using a cervical traction neck pillow, many users experience pain relief within the first couple of uses. Snoring and breathing difficulty are reduces due to the improved posture of the users. In addition, blood circulation through the neck becomes less restricted.

Perhaps the most widely used variety of travel neck pillow is the ones that wrap around the neck. Designed in the shape of a “C”, these pillows allow the head to rest from side to side or backwards, ideal for users sitting in the upright position on a plane or bus. Also popular are the dog bone shapes pillows, which sit just behind the neck up against a chair. There are best suited for individuals who like to lean their head backward. When choosing a travel pillow, there are several things one should consider. Latex-free pillows are a must if any users of the pillow are allergic to latex. The ability to machine wash the pillow is always a handy feature after a long trip. Finally, a travel case can keep the pillow contained in a water resistant environment until ready to use.
