Wedge pillow for travel

Posted by kgggg @kgggg, May 20 6:59pm

Does anyone have the name of a good wedge pillow for travel. Diagnosed with acid reflux and a necessity. Most I’ve read about deflate too soon. Thnx

The inflatable wedge I posted above does not leak but I do not find it as comfortable as foam. It has a push valve for letting out air. One trip I used it and it was fine but recently I found it difficult to get used to.

I sprung for the TravelWedge Pro which will fit in my suitcase. Self inflating. I'm a bit concerned about the plastic-y looking outside. Maybe the cotton cover I purchased will help.

The smell of plastic while you are trying to sleep is not great. But I did have the same impression as you. I normally sleep with a pillow on top of the wedge. Do you think that would help with the comfort factor?

How does the carrying bag hold up from baggage handlers if checked? Thank you for posting this info!

It is about the thickness of a bag a carseat would go in but if I am going to pay to check a bag, I like to fit some things so I put it in a hard shell suitcase and pack around it.

Would it be possible to post a link for Go Bag? A simple google search was not conclusive.

I can no longer find it either 😡
I will post the measurements of the one that I have.
It does need to be checked and has held up ok with baggage handling
