Why Aeronest?

A neck pillow holds your head still while the rest of you stays bolt upright, and that is why you wake up every twenty minutes. Nobody sleeps sitting up straight. What your body is trying to do on a long flight is lean forward and put its head down — and the only things in front of you are a hard tray table and your own folded arms, which go numb. This gives you something soft and tall to lean into, so you can stop holding yourself up.

And it means you get off the other end having actually slept. Not dozed, not nodded, not spent nine hours adjusting. The first day of a holiday is the one most people lose, and this is the cheapest way to get it back.

Benefits & Features

• Lean forward and sleep — your head, neck and arms are held up by the pillow, not by you

• Open face rest on top and a slot for each arm, so you can breathe freely and settle the way you would on a desk

• Blows up by mouth at your seat and lets down in seconds with one twist of the valve

• 55 cm tall on a 35 × 30 cm base — stands on a tray table, a train table, a desk or your lap

• 380 g, and packs into its own drawstring pouch

The pillow itself...

One valve, two jobs

Twist it shut and air only goes in, so you can stop for breath. Twist it open and the pillow is flat in seconds.

Open all the way through

The face rest and both arm slots are real holes that join in the middle, so your arms tuck in and your face is not pressed into a cushion.

Stands up on its own

It is one tall block with seams down the sides, not a round cushion, so it sits on the tray and does not roll.

Aeronest Gives You...

• Proper sleep on a long flight, leaning forward the way your body wants to

• A pillow for the train, the coach and the back seat of a car as well as the plane

• A lunchtime nap at your desk without a sore arm

• Something that weighs less than a paperback and takes up no room in your bag

Your Questions Answered

How do you blow it up, and how long does it take?

By mouth, at your seat. The valve is on the back: twist it shut and it lets air in but not out, so you can stop between breaths without losing any. There is no pump to pack and nothing to plug in.

Will it fit in a normal economy seat?

Yes — that is where it is meant to be used. It is 55 cm tall on a 35 × 30 cm base. It stands on the tray table in front of you and leans back against your chest, so it takes up the space you would be leaning into anyway and nothing of your neighbour's.

Two honest limits. The tray table has to be up for take-off and landing, so it goes on your lap or back in its pouch for those. And a small number of airlines have their own rules about comfort items, so if you are not sure, check with yours.

Can you breathe with your face in it?

The dip on the top is an open hole, not a dent, and it joins up with the arm slots in the sides — so there is open space under and around your face rather than a cushion pressed against it. 

Most people turn their head slightly to one side and rest a cheek on the rim, the way you would on a folded arm.

Does it stay firm, or go soft halfway through the flight?

The valve twists shut once it is full, and nothing is holding the air in except that valve, so it is the one part that matters. 

If it ever does soften, two breaths through the valve tops it back up without getting out of your seat.

How small does it pack, and can it go in hand luggage?

It weighs 380 g and packs into its own drawstring pouch at about 10 cm each way — roughly the size of a mug. 

It is only fabric and air, with no battery, no gas and no liquid in it, so there is nothing about it that hand-luggage rules are concerned with.

Customer photo review of Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

Landed in Tokyo at eight in the morning having slept, went straight out for the day, and did not hit a wall until the evening. I have lost the first day of every long trip of my life until this one.

Customer photo review of Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

I did not think my arms going through the sides would matter and it turns out that is the whole thing. They have somewhere to go, so they do not go numb, so you do not wake up.

Customer photo review of Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

Used it in the back of the car on a long drive to Cornwall, leaning on it against the seat in front. My brother was driving and says I did not make a sound for three hours.

Customer photo review of Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

I turn my head to the side and rest my cheek on the edge of the hole rather than putting my face straight down. Took me about two minutes to find how I like it and then I was away.

Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

Night shifts. I take it into the staff room on my break and get a proper half hour with my head down instead of slumping in a chair. The blue one, so nobody walks off with it.

Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

I measured it against my rucksack before I ordered because 55cm sounded big. It is big, and that is why it works — it comes right up to your chest so you are not bending down to it.

Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

We flew to Thailand with two teenagers and bought three of these. All three of them were asleep before the meal came round. Best money I spent on the whole holiday.

Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

Commute is an hour and ten each way on a train with tables. This has given me back two hours of sleep a day. I got the black one so it looks a bit less like I have brought a bouncy castle.

Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

The outside is soft, not that sticky plastic feel I was expecting from something you blow up. I had my cheek on it for hours and did not wake up with a mark on my face.

Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

I nap at my desk at lunch and my arm always goes dead. This stands on the desk and I put my face in the top. Twenty minutes and I am a different person for the afternoon.

Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

I was a bit embarrassed blowing it up at my seat. Then the man next to me asked where I got it, and the woman behind asked him. Nobody laughs once you are asleep and they are not.

Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

Got it for my mum who flies to see my sister in Australia every year and dreads it. She rang me from the other end to say she had slept and could I order one for my dad.

Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

It comes in a little pouch about the size of a mug and I honestly thought they had sent the wrong thing. Then you blow it up and it is enormous. Went in my handbag for the whole trip.

Aeronest™ | Inflatable Lean-Forward Travel Pillow

I am tall and I have never been able to sleep sitting upright. Leaning forward onto this is the first thing that has worked. Arms through the sides, head down, gone.
