If you’ve not got the cash to fly first class, you’ll be stuck in economy with the rest of us, trying out increasingly creative seating positions in order to try and get a bit of shut eye.

 

While some people are able to sleep through crying babies, fidgeting neighbors and all sorts of other in-flight menaces, others find the flying experience immeasurably improved by earplugs, an eye mask and a travel pillow. However, as those that invested in one of these supposed travel saviors will know, they don’t always live up to their billing.

 

This is especially true of travel pillows, which quite often provide frustratingly little support in key areas. But that is where Woollip comes in.

 

While the new travel pillow is inflatable like most of its predecessors, the Woollip is ergonomically designed to allow the user to find their favorite sleeping position. Whether you like to lean against a window or lean forward, the Woollip is a versatile travel companion.

 

The boxy pillow inflates after just five puffs, and deflates in two seconds for easy packing. The arm holes and face hole mean you can lean forward into the pillow while still being able to breathe.

 

In fact, the Woollipp makes just about any position you can think of more comfortable, and it costs just €34. The travel pillow was subject to a successful Kickstarter campaign and looks set to ship in July 2016.
