Woollip Travel Pillow – Portable Comfort

Summary: A travel pillow that allows you to find the perfect and comfiest position for you.

Sleeping on a plane has never been comfier.

Traveling can get really boring, really quickly. Ideally, you’d like to catch up on some sleep, and wake up at your destination – but that doesn’t always happen when you’re trying to prop your head against a window or drooling over a stranger’s shoulder. The Woollip gives you support for your arms, chin, and head while keeping your posture upright as you doze away – decreasing the chance of waking up with typical travel aches and pains.

Being inflatable, the Woollip takes up very little room in your suitcase, making it the perfect travel companion.

While other smartphone and tablet straps do exists, the Inslip is able to retract itself completely flat when not in use, and provide an extremely secure and comfy grip while being held. Its exterior texture also provides grip when the device is left alone, meaning it won’t tumble off your sofa or car’s dashboard.
