Upgrade to Sleeping Class!

For those of us confined to economy class on long airplane flights, anything that encourages comfort and even a little sleep is a mission of mercy. A new product invented in Australia is making its way around the world as we speak.

FaceCradle Snooze position.
FaceCradle: Snooze position.

FaceCradle Travel Pillow™ , www.facecradle.com, provides 5 Modes of Comfort including the conventional neck pillow function we call Dozing Mode (1). Wrap-around neck pillows are designed to provide comfort when your head is vertical but that’s not how we naturally sleep.

FaceCradle Travel Pillow is designed for the total environment that is economy class travel. It allows you to utilize the complete 180 degrees of space in and in front of your seat, to find you the optimum comfort position. The 5 comfort modes access many new positions that allow your head to get to horizontal, closer to replicating the feeling of being in bed. The hammock style support of modes 4 & 5 plus the “breath easy” position which replicates resting face down in a massage table takes comfort to a whole new level. Bottom line is that you have five different modes with FaceCradle which is four more positions than a traditional neck pillow.

FaceCradle: Upright Mode

Once you become familiar with the adjustability of this travel pillow you can switch between positions a little like tossing around in your bed before you settle on your final sleeping position.

Modes 4 & 5 in particular, enable the person in front, to put their seat all the way back without bothering you and because your seat is upright you don’t bother the person behind you. The quick adjust mechanism allows you to instantly pack the FaceCradle back to its default neck pillow position (Mode 1) to allow those next to you to get out or for you to receive your meal/drink service.

This new travel pillow allows you to Upgrade to Sleeping Class™ and have every chance to arrive better rested at your final destination. When you have a long journey in a car, the FaceCradle can also be a lifesaver. Try it out!
