SkyMall Pillow Solves Age-Old 'Breathing While Asleep' Problem
When we first saw this picture we assumed it was a posture-fix for people who get so drunk on the plane they pass out as soon as they get to the hotel (don't judge - we've all been there). But it turns out that the 22-in Relax 'N Nap Traveler is a patented system for ensuring you breathe fresh air while you're asleep. Quote: "Patented 'air portal' ventilation system allows you to rest face down in comfort while breathing fresh clean air."
Getting air while you're sleeping apparently counts as a problem now, and this is apparently the solution.

Would You Wear Pool Floaties On A Plane If It Meant Better Sleep?
Time for another "comfortable inflatable pillow or absurd monstrosity" post, wherein we weigh the marginal benefit of a cozier trip vs. the marginal cost of publicly looking like a tool. Today's subject: child pool floaties as in-flight pillows, the suggestion of MIT blogger Star Simpson. You inflate them at the airport, slip them around your hands, and ostensibly enjoy a snug respite.
Simpson doesn't suggest you carry around regular naked floaties into airports at least. Instead she makes the critical suggestion that you wrap them up in an old t-shirt. Inspired, but it still doesn't solve our central concern, which is that you're walking around an airport wearing pool toys.

Komfort Kollars Support Your Neck On Flights, Make People Point And Laugh At You
On Skymall there's a picture of this monstrosity and then next to it there's a dropdown box labeled "Select Your Style." Everything else aside, do you think they're using "style" facetiously?
The Komfort Kollar was designed by "a leading spinal surgeon" who promises that it will "support your cervical spine from every angle." It's not often that you come across bondage gear endorsed by medically licensed professionals so in a way this is a sweet deal even if you're not a frequent flier.
