Resting your noggin on a balled-up jacket just doesn't cut it for so many reasons. Still, many a grump traveller has emerged from a makeshift sleeping area with an unsightly zipper impression in the middle of his cheek.
Comfortable, Convenient and Easy - Pillowpacker Pillows
Ottawans Garry Logue and Beth Shepherd had no intention of compromising their cranium's comfort, so they invented the Pillowpacker Pillow, a travel accessory that's as close to the real thing as they could manage without the bulk. Measuring 48 by 36 centimeters, the pillows come in either duck down or microfibre. The crux of both models is an inflatable insert, which can be blown up to the desired firmness for sleeping then deflated for maximum portability. Suddenly, a night in the tent, on the train or in a mangy hostel is much more palatable– at least from the neck up.
$124.95 Duck Down and $99.95 Microfibre at www.PillowPackers.com
Both include a 100-per-cent percale cotton pillowcase.

Review in the Philadelphia Inquirer
"A Comfortable Place to Lay Your Head" is the title of a review written by by Judi Dash, the Gadget Guru, in the October 30, 2016 Philadelphia Inquirer. Ms. Dash, who was provided with a Premium Brome Duck Down Pillow to test, seemed to really appreciate all the features of the world's best inflatable travel pillow but forgot to tell her US readers that the prices she quoted were in Canadian dollars. That will be a pleasant surprise.
