TravelPillow

        

Invented by a group of friends who were traveling by plane a lot due to business events. When reaching the final destination they always felt drained because they did not get enough sleep on the plane. This is when they started to develop the TravelPillow, an easy inflatable pillow to rest during long hauls. After a long period of development with the product developer of finding the best height of the pillow and the most comfy positions to sleep in, there it was: the TravelPillow. They are now looking to enter the markets worldwide to let others experience the wonderful sleep on the TravelPillow as well.
