Best Travel Pillow Australia (Sleep Easy On The Move)

It seems like every one is travelling these days and Australia is fairly isolated so heading overseas usually means a 3+ hour flight even to New Zealand. Other adventurers head to the UK which is nearly 22 hours away.

Aeroplane seats are getting more and more comfortable but face it, they are not designed for sleeping upright. Some airlines have side bits on the seat that allow you to form your own pillow while others have nothing.

Flying on a budget airline you can probably assume there will be nothing of the sort. Many travellers then resort to those blow up neck pillows that airport stores make a fortune from.. selling them for $15 when they cost $2 at the local dollar store.

The blow up neck pillows are uncomfortable and smell pretty bad.. Chinese factory much. Then there's the slightly more comfy neck pillows that retail up to $40. BestFive has gone even better with these epic travel pillows.

You don't need to dig deep either and while some look outrageous, they are super comfortable, allowing you to sleep nearly anywhere!
