My Experience
While the SkyRest Travel Pillow packaging certainly had me intrigued, I was happily surprised to find the inflatable pillow truly comfortable. The shape of the pillow, with its sloped front and soft fabric, makes it easy to fall asleep while traveling, especially in a car or train.![SkyRest Travel Pillow Review](https://mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/SkyRestPillowReviewCar.jpg)

Summary
Overall the SkyRest Travel Pillow is comfortable and especially good for trips where there is space to fully inflate the pillow. It is not machine washable or dryer-friendly but can be hand washed in a sink. It is easy to inflate and deflate and compacts into a small size for travel.

Things to Consider
Reviewers found it tight in economy seating and I can understand why. The pillow takes up a good amount of space in front of the person using the pillow and their arms need to wrap around the sides, so there is a chance the user would interfere in other’s personal space.![skyrestpillowreviewneighbor](https://mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/SkyRestPillowReviewNeighbor.jpg)

Price
People can purchase the SkyRest pillow off the company’s website for $29.95. It is also available on Amazon for the same price. I think for the right trip, this pillow would be a great investment. For those who are comfortable sleeping on their stomachs, have a long trip ahead and plenty of space around (large airplane seat or roomy car/train space) then it is possible to really enjoy this pillow and get rest. I would not recommend this pillow for tight spaces.Katie Golde
