Times change, life is filled with new habits, but are all of them useful for health? A modern business person most of the time is forced to spend at the desk, in the car, on the plane, on the train. And mostly - sitting.
Why not make the trip as comfortable as possible, especially since it is no longer necessary to "reinvent the wheel"? Problems with neck flow, back pain will be solved by one small accessory - a pillow, but not usual for sleeping , and special for trips and travel, which thanks to the compact dimensions a lot of space in your travel suitcase will not take. Short and long trips will be much more comfortable, and sleep - strong.
Types of pillows for travel
The assortment of pillows-headrests for traveling today is wide enough. This concerns not only the materials from which such accessories are made, but also the price policy. So, the most popular model for travel is an inflatable pillow, which in a matter of minutes from a briquette the size of a purse turns into a comfortable headrest. This option is best suited for those who travel in public transport or with a small baggage. The drawback in this model is one - it still needs to be inflated, which is sometimes not very convenient.
Another option is orthopedic pillow-bagel, which is most convenient for traveling in a car. The neck is always in anatomically correct position, which will help to avoid edema and swelling. In addition, it can be used and drivers who spend hours in suspense. Such a pillow is easy to attach under the head with one hand while the car is moving.
Before you choose a pillow for travel, you need to consult with the seller, because at stake is your healthy dream! So, for long trips, a pillow with polyester balls can not come up, because with each movement the filler creates a barely perceptible ear noise. Of course, for a half-hour trip it does not matter much, but imagine that it will take a day to go?
