Embrace Sleep Collar has expanded to Embrace Travel Products.

Here are a couple nice reviews by the media:

You Never Knew You Needed
"Ends the irritating head bobs that come with sleeping while sitting up. It gently supports your travel-weary head and neck from the sides and front as opposed to some blow-up pillows that shove your head forward".
-Daily Mail UK 6/15/14

Best Travel Pillows
"When you doze off while on the move, does your head slowly droop forward or to the side, before you are uncomfortably jolted awake? The Embrace Sleep Collar keeps heads and necks in proper alignment, supporting the neck all the way around". -Group Travel World Magazine 9/13

I've tried a variety of neck pillows for long haul flights. I've gone through three different inflatables (including the Rick Steves one) and sorry, Rick, they don't work for me. On the plus side, they're light in weight, but they are heard to inflate to the right pressure and they develop leaks. Next I went to the buckwheat hull filled horseshoetoo bulky, takes up half my carryon, and no support to keep myhead from flopping forward. (It was, however, comfy as a regular pillow when I had to spend the night at an airport once.) I tried the Komfort Collar memory foam pillowtoo bulky and it wasn't that comfortable for me. Too big and uncomfortable around the back of the neck, where the bulge of memory foam just got in the way. My last neck pillow is the one is actually use nowthe Embrace Sleep Collar. It's memory foam, but about half the size of the Komfort Collar. The chin portion is contoured so it doesn't feel as "choky" as the Komfort Kollar, and it has plain fabric across the back of the neck, eliminating the bulge and making it less hot to wear. It's smaller and more compact, too. I bring mine on board my wrapping it round my upper arm before boarding (where you might fasten a blood pressure cuff, which it actually looks a lot like!) so it isn't taking up space in my carry-on.
First neck pillow that I wanted to use more than once, and I never leave it behind now on any transatlantic or transpacific or redeye transcontinental flight.

Posture Equals Comfort

“Maintaining proper alignment while traveling or sleeping upright is not only important with regards to personal comfort, but vital in reducing stress, soreness and preventing injury”

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 10, 2010

The new Embrace Sleep Collar Travel Pillow, from Designs in Progress, is a breakthrough in travel comfort. The unique combination of Memory Foam and High Resiliency Foam makes for a comfortable, lightweight, and compact travel pillow. New wicking fabrics used in the washable cover keep the pillow cool. The patented design provides full support, keeping the head and neck in proper alignment, allowing travelers to fully relax.
Many people find that the travel pillows currently available are more uncomfortable than wearing nothing at all. All too often, travelers arrive fatigued and with a stiff neck that can last for hours or even days. Standard travel pillows, including Memory Foam travel pillows, are bulky and poorly designed for their purpose. The inflatables don't breathe, smell funny, and can leak.
Designs in Progress knew there had to be a better way.

Posture equals Comfort.
Standard travel pillows push your head forward and most have no support under the chin. The Embrace Sleep Collar gives full support to the front and the sides of the head and neck.
In two separate focus groups, individuals were seated in actual high back airline chairs and tested the Embrace Sleep Collar against other models. Every participant preferred the Sleep Collar. A flight attendant wrote that it solved the "head-bob" effect.

The Best Travel Pillows

While traveling cross-country a few times last year, I experienced something I suspect that a lot of travelers out there can relate to. All of the travel pillows I tried were more uncomfortable than not wearing one at all.

I tried numerous travel pillows, and more often than not, I would arrive tired and with a sore neck that would last for hours or even days. My head and neck just weren't being supported properly.

A little research helped me identify the problem.

All day long, your postural muscles in your neck are in contraction, to support your head. When you try to relax, your postural muscles want to relax with you. This is fine when you are lying down, because your bed supports you. However, when you are sitting up, like in an airline chair, your head is left unsupported.

The travel pillows that I tried were poorly designed for this purpose. There was no support under my chin. To make matters worse, the excess padding in the back, pushed my head forward even further.

Remember this equation:

Posture = Comfort.

When you are lying in bed, gravity helps keep your body in alignment. The trick is to keep that same posture sitting up as you have when you are lying down.
When you are sitting up and trying to relax, gravity is the enemy. Without full support gravity will take over and as your neck muscles try to relax, your head will drop forward or you will cock it to one side. You have lost your posture.
Now you are out of alignment and the weight of your head is placing stress on your neck. In addition to being uncomfortable and unable to relax, you will likely be sore and get very little rest. Remember, the average adult human head weighs 15-20 pounds. Pick up a 20 pound weight the next time you're in a gym and think about that tugging on your spine as the plane bumps and jars.

The best travel pillow is one that is comfortable, lightweight, and gives you full support, including under the chin.

Recently, several major airlines announced they will no longer provide pillows on their flights. Good riddance. In addition to the question about sanitation and hygiene, those little white pillows were basically worthless.

Use this opportunity to get yourself a top quality memory foam travel pillow with full support. You will arrive healthier and happier. Isn't that what travel and life are all about?
