REI Self-Inflating Travel Pillow

REI Self-Inflating Travel Pillow – a bowtie shaped travel pillow

This isn’t your regular wrap around your neck travel pillow. The REI Self-Inflating Travel Pillow self inflates and offers much comfort during long car rides, flights, and bus rides plus you can use it in your tent, on the park bench, in your travel hammock, or anywhere else you may call it a night at.

Bowtie shaped pillows are often recommended for neck pain and the pillow also doubles as a nice lumbar support if you’re prone to any kind of lower back pain. The pillow has a silicone backing so the pillow should stay in place if you find yourself needing to crash on the cold, hard floor for a night and the fabric is nice and soft.
