This AMAZING pillow will change budget travel forever

Katie Mythen-Lynch

If you’re in the majority of people who find it almost impossible to sleep on a plane, this new invention could change the way you travel forever.

An inflatable frontal travel pillow designed to support the upper body from a sitting position, the WOOLLIP has received an outpouring of support from weary flyers on Kickstarter, with more than 1,300 people pledging a whopping €68,653 to make it happen – almost €10,000 more than the €55,000 goal.

Designed by 21-year-old French student Diane Levy and her father Franck, a Platinum Frequent Flyer, it was during one of their more uncomfortable trips together that they had the idea of an innovative frontal travel pillow that turns a variety of ways, offering various sleeping positions to the seated passenger.

What’s more, it’ll be easy to transport too, folding into a small rectangle and inflating in just five breaths when necessary.

Many experts contributed to adjust the exact position and design the first prototype, which they hope will be available soon.

We can’t wait to get our hands on one, but we’re pretty sure this’ll help make your economy seat almost as luxe as a business class pod. Just bring your own Champagne.
