This fall we launched our all new HEST Pro Travel Pillow, our most complete solution to sleeping on the road, in the backset, or on the plane. If you’re hesitant to ditch your trusty airplane neck pillow, we’re here to put those two travel companions neck to neck. While both options make for a more comfortable ride, the innovative comfort features built into our Pro Travel Pillow might have you second guessing what you're packing on your next long haul flight. 

Modes for any traveler 

From trains, to planes, to automobiles, the style of transportation may change, but your comfort shouldn’t. The HEST Pro Travel Pillow was engineered with a variety of different sleep scenarios in mind, featuring three unique sleep modes to provide an adaptive, supportive fit for anywhere you lay your head. Where a traditional airport pillow is made for an aisle seat snooze, the Pro Travel Pillow transforms from an immersive, wrap-around neck pillow to a 28-inch body pillow simply by unclasping a single buckle. From there, an easy tuck and fold turns the Pro Travel into a travel pillow suitable for the backseat, railcar, or camping mattress. You want options? We’ve got them in the Pro Travel.

Portable, Packable, and Germ free

Airplane pillows have improved in recent years, becoming smaller, more comfortable, and even including that neat little clip to attach to your backpack as you hustle to make your next plane. Still, we saw room for improvement with the HEST Pro Travel Pillow and wanted to make a sleep surface that was not only portable, but extremely packable. The Pro Travel features its own built-in travel case, letting your fold the pillow in and zip it up into a protective 8-inch by 9-inch case that can fit in your bag or clip on to your pack. No more rubbing your pillow all over airport security and exposing it to germs on uncovered surfaces, the Travel Pro keeps your pillow portable, packable, and, thanks to its integrated carrying case, protected against the common cold and any other germs lingering in transit.

Durable design

With all of the bag jostling and rushed connections, travel can be a contact sport. This can become a bit of a problem for regular airplane pillows, as they often feature a thin, breathable outer skin, full of tiny Styrofoam beads. One small snag, and your comfortable sleep is sitting in a pile on the airport floor. The HEST Pro Travel Pillow keeps your comfort in one piece with a durable carrying case for extra security on the road. It also utilizes a dirt and water-resistant cover that is machine washable to keep your sleep surface fresher, longer.

Make travel Personable 

Traditional travel pillows have been built for the journey, but why not the destination as well? The HEST Pro Travel Pillow was created to cover all of your sleep bases, providing comfort in transit, and a little piece of home out with you on the road.  Simply fold and tuck the extended travel surface into a compact pillow perfect for a hammock, cot, bunk bed, or camping mattress. Why lug multiple pillows or rely on unpredictable Airbnbs when you can have it all in one portable package?

Memory foam > Micro Plastic beads

The airplane pillow has gone through many different evolutions over the years, but it seems to have stalled out on a collection of flexible neck donut stuffed with micro plastic beads, that, while comfortable at first, can feel like sleeping on a stuffed animal after a half hour of snoozing. We thought airplane, car, and train travelers deserved a bit more support, integrating our memory foam blend into its most portable package yet. You can also add or remove foam from the Pro Travel Pillow to find your ideal fit (just drop a quick note to info@hest.com to get extra fill sent your way).  What does that mean for you? One heck of a customized, comfortable sleep no matter where you choose to lay your head.
