[A Travel Enthusiast's Honest Review] I Tried Using a Neck Pillow for Travel✈️

Hello, I'm risu🐿️, a travel-loving blogger.

In this post, I will be reviewing the neck pillow I used on my flight to Hawaii.


Here is the neck pillow I used💁‍♀️

📦 Product Overview
• Brand: Tabine Kobo
• Release Date: November 29, 2024 (First appearance on Amazon) 
• Material/Specifications: Inflatable (air type), weight approx. 200g, ultra-small size for easy carrying
• Rating: Top in the travel category

You want to keep your travel luggage as light as possible, right?

I used to use a MUJI bead neck pillow but it made my luggage too bulky, so I stopped using it...🥲
However, without a

neck pillow to support my neck on planes, buses, or during long trips,

my neck ends up feeling stiff later on...
It feels like I slept wrong.


In the past, the pain didn't last that long,
but lately, it's hard to get rid of the pain...😅

▲ I've compiled an overseas packing list in an article.
I recommend checking this out too!

Since it's a compact neck pillow, I tried using the
minimalU+ Tabine Kobo Dark Gray
✌️

*This article was written after receiving the product from Tabine Kobo (Kokoro Kikaku Co., Ltd.). All content is based on my actual impressions and experiences using the product.

🧳 A pouch-sized neck pillow!

◎It was great that it's so compact and can be attached to a bag.(Photos included)

→ It fits into a palm-sized pouch, and the weight is less than half that of a plastic bottle.
Plus, since it becomes flat when you let the air out, it doesn't get in the way at all even if you toss it into a gap in your suitcase.

It's a nice bonus that it fits easily into small shoulder bags and backpacks🌟

◎ The way to inflate it is a novel design that uses the pouch as an air pump(Photos included)

→ I inflated it in about 30 seconds.
You don't have to inflate it with your mouth, so it's hygienic. Since it's an air-inflated type, another good point is that you can adjust it to your preferred firmness!

✈️ Impressions from actually using it on my trip

I used it on this trip for the long-haul flight from Narita to Hawaii (approx. 7-hour flight🌺)


Pros
• Compact and doesn't get in the way on the plane
→ When deflated, it's a compact 12.5×8.6×5.4cm.

• The air didn't leak out at all even during the 7-hour flight
• It fit my neck well
• Personally, I liked using it as a body pillow



Cons
• It's hard to tell which hole is for inflating
→ I didn't bring the manual, so I couldn't tell which of the two holes was which

• Hard to fold
→ I struggled quite a bit to put it back in the pouch after use. It fits if you push it in hard. lol

When I used this neck pillow,
the neck support felt completely different!!

It's compact, so I think I'll make it my travel companion from now on♪♪

👩‍💻 It's also useful at hotels!

Backpackerswill find this especially convenient. It's compact and
can even be used as a hotel pillow replacement. Since it's an inflatable type,

it's great that you can adjust it to your preferred firmness and height😚

This was a surprisingly impressive point.

✅ Conclusion: Decided to make it my travel companion from now on!

This item cleared up all the common travel problems of “my neck hurts,” “it’s hard to sleep,” and “too much luggage.” ✔️ It's super light ✔️ Compact when deflated ✔️ Adjustable firmness for a perfect fit. As someone who used to be in the “neck pillows are bulky so I don't bring them” camp,


I've decided I'm happy to take this one on my travels!
