J-Pillow Review:

Well, about the title, you will find out if you read the entire review 🙂

First off, you’re probably wondering what the J-Pillow is. To put it into technological terms, it’s like the ‘neck pillow 2.0’ or if you’re an Apple® fanatic, it would be the pillow’s equivalent to the iPhone.

With that said, the J-Pillow is ‘rebelutionary’, or as Urban Dictionary would say, the J-Pillow is the “epitome of nonconformism”.

J-Pillow is the rethought version of the old school neck pillow that you use when traveling.

Features:

The first thing you will notice if you ever pick the J-Pillow up is how soft it is. Soft is an understatement – I would buy it just because of the softness.

The second part that you will notice is the unique shape. At first, it was a bit of a jigsaw puzzle for me to figure where to place the ‘trunk’ of the pillow. Finally I figured how to place the pillow according to my head. Once I got it in place, it was a perfect fit.

The two stubs of the pillow kept my head in place from moving from left to right, while the trunk helped support my head from leaning forward or back. Usually in a flight, I would have to support my head up with my hand, or lean forward to rest my head on the collapsible tray, but from now on, the pillow will do the supporting.

This means that I will never have to awkwardly lean on random strangers’ shoulders to support my head. Even if I’m in the middle seat!

I haven’t tested the J-Pillow in a flight yet, but I will in a couple of months. Recently, I successfully fell asleep during a road trip while using it, and even spent my Saturday morning sporting my J-Pillow while watching the Premier League. (Go Chelsea!!!!!)

What I Like about the J-Pillow:

• Unique design
• Comfortable
• Softness
• Plushness

The most impressive feature of the J-Pillow is definitely the design. Now, we all can ceremonially burn our old inferior neck travel pillows that didn’t actually support our necks. The design really supports the head unlike a normal travel pillow would.

What Can Be Improved:

• Bulky
• No removable/washable cover

The J-Pillow is pretty bulky and roughly the size of my head. When compacted, it still takes up a good amount of space. (The same company also makes an inflatable J-Pillow for the space conscious travelers, but I haven’t tested it.)

Also, I would like if the J-Pillow had a removable cover. My fantasized outside cover could be unzipped and washed. This would be a really helpful feature because things get really dirty while traveling. (I have first hand experiences) Also, if you drooled all over your pillow, you would be able to clean it off. Or, if the person next to you in the plane had tuberculosis and coughed all over your J-Pillow, then you would be able to wash it off.

UPDATE 1

I was recently informed by J-Pillow that the pillow itself is actually machine washable. That’s another plus!

UPDATE 2

J-Pillow has improved the design of the pillow by slightly increasing the size.

Who It’s For:

This pillow would be best suited for the traveler who isn’t too concerned about space or weight but values comfort.

• Frequent Flyers
• Frequent Bus Riders (read about my 18 hour bus ride here)
• Business Travelers
• Travelers not concerned about space

Who It Isn’t For:

The J-Pillow is not for the person who is super minimalist or one who enjoys discomfort.

The Verdict:

This is an amazing addition for any frequent flyer or traveler in general. Though not flawless, this is definitely something to consider. I guess it would make a great holiday gift as well 🙂

Bonus:

This is for the parents or for those annoyed by little kids crying on planes: Believe it or not, the J-Pillow makes a really awesome stuffed dinosaur. I have proof:

This is the real answer to all of your life’s problems. Give the J-Pillow stuffed animal to any crying kid. They will stop crying. Trust me.

*Another Disclaimer: I’ve never actually tried the crying thing but I think it would work.

*Another recommendation for the J-Pillow company:

• Create a J-Pillow design with eyes and a mouth to make a stuffed animal.
