Therm-a-Rest Neck Pillow

Therm-a-Rest Neck Pillow – A packable neck pillow.

I have to be honest with you, I always used to make fun of people on the airplane who used those goofy neck pillows. Worse still, was the people who walked around the airport with them still around their neck like it was a piece of jewelry. I thought, how comfortable could they really be? So one day I decided to borrow my dads neck pillow and try it out. Long story short, I was hooked after that.

The only problem was that it didn’t make sense to carry one of these bulky neck pillows on a trip where pack space was at a premium. Then I came across the Therm-a-Rest Neck Pillow which had it all. It gave you all the comforts of a neck pillow but the pack ability of a Therm-a-Rest.

The Therm-a-Rest Neck Pillow works much like a Therm-a-Rest pad. The inside of the Therm-a-Rest Neck Pillow is an open cell foam core to give you all the padding and comfort you need. The entire unit itself inflates just like the Terma-a-Rest pads. The outside of the neck pillow is a soft, suede-like polyester. The best part about the Therm-a-Rest Neck Pillow, is that it can be deflated and squished enough to justify packing it!

I hate to say it, but I am now one of those dorky people on the plane that uses a neck pillow. In fact, the Therm-a-Rest Neck Pillow works so well, I’m one of those dorky people in cabs, boats, buses, trains, and anywhere else I can fall asleep sitting up. Try one of these on a four hour bus ride, at three in the morning, down a bumpy mountain road and I promise you’ll be sold.
