How To Choose The Neck Pillow And travel Cushion

Choose the travel cushion well

 With the increase in low cost airlines and the simplification of travel procedures, we must recognize that people have never traveled as much as they do today.

However, despite the fact that travel is now accessible to all, whatever the budget, the conditions in which we travel are not always worthy of first class.

It is precisely here that travel accessories (whether to fly, go by bus, train or car) can play a vital role in the well-being of travelers during travel.

Among the accessories that will be essential for comfort on the plane, the travel pillow is probably what will allow you to get the most out of the flight while offering unparalleled comfort at a low price.

The different types of travel cushions

 

Inflatable travel cushion
Although the inflatable plastic pillow is a really inexpensive travel accessory, it is still one of the least comfortable in its class.

In fact, buying a cheap inflatable travel cushion to get on the plane, train or even to drive will have little impact on the general maintenance of the neck, nape or neck.

Buying a plastic inflatable pillow for traveling is not the best option, at least not if you plan to rest or sleep on the plane or during the trip.

Beyond the plastic odor that they often give off, the main disadvantage of inflatable models lies in the lack of neck and head support. Too inflated, the cushion will be uncomfortable and may cause stiff neck. Little inflated, it would have the same utility as if you did not carry a cushion.

Finally, the limited life of this accessory is an additional argument that, in our opinion, should discourage you from buying it. Even major brands like Samsonite, Delsey or Go Travel can not sell their inflatable models due to their lack of comfort and ergonomics.

The travel cushion made of polystyrene microbeads

Models that contain polystyrene microbeads are slightly more comfortable and of better quality than inflatable models.

However, simply by pressing with your finger on this type of polystyrene filled pillow you realize that the maintenance of the head will not be effective during the trip.

In general, it is not very compact, especially compared to foam and memory foam models. In addition, it can not be compacted and occupies a large volume unnecessarily.

Another big disadvantage of the inexpensive microbead travel cushion is its lack of wear resistance. It is a fact, with just using it hour will be enough for you to have your own opinion about the models made of microbeads.

Polystyrene is effective to protect cardboard boxes and packages that we use in our daily lives, but not to protect the neck of people. You must have noticed: polystyrene is a material that tends to flatten when pressed. Unless you have a very limited budget, it is best to avoid this type of polystyrene microbead accessory.
