Travel pillows are those U-shaped things you can’t stand to see people wear in airports but secretly want to try since admittedly your neck is a bit sore from that last flight. The NapScarf though tries to give you both – a comfortable way to sleep sitting up on an airplane (train or otherwise) while being disguised as regular apparel. NapScarf were kind enough to send me one to try out during some recent travels and I was delightfully surprised how inconspicuously useful it was.
Fold Open And Easy
There are plenty of travel products that start off as tiny, tightly packed balls to convince careful packers they won’t be overloading their backpacks. The problem is unless you’re a magician or the factory machine which did the wrapping in the first place, repacking efficiently is almost impossible. The NapScarf however is a two-fold system; so with a single move its ready for sleepy time and the other, storage in your carry on. Also, unlike standard travel pillows you can pack and use the 150 gram (~5.3 ounce) NapScarf quickly without having to deflate or stuff an awkward shape into your bag.

How To Use The NapScarf
The video below does a good job of demonstrating exactly how the NapScarf works, which wasn’t immediately obvious to me. Although there are a lot of stickers showing neck, shoulder, etc. positioning on the NapScarf packaging; watching the video makes you wonder how I couldn’t figure it out the first time around.
Support Undercover
Inside the fleece exterior of the Napscarf is a flexible plastic neck support your heavy head hopefully weighs down on. If you’re a shifty sleeper it might take some readjustment from time to time, especially on longer flights. Additionally the fleece too can get a bit warm depending on how much recirculated air is blowing on you.
Aside from those minor drawbacks NapScarf is really the travel-pillow-not-a-travel-pillow I would recommend to any traveler. NapScarf is available on Amazon.com as well as trtl.co.uk for $29.99 and comes in either black, pink, grey, or red.
This is so great! Sleeping with a regular little pillow on a plane is pretty hard, but I don’t like using those bulky neck wraps. Thanks for sharing!
