1st Class Sleeper in Navy Necessary for travelers with back issuesI bought the First Class Sleeper for a flight to Asia. I have lower back problems and was tired of getting dirty looks from other Economy class passengers from taking all available pillows in the surrounding seats for back support. For both my flight to Asia and the return trip, the airline stewards and stewardesses noticed the pillow, love it, and asked me for details on where to get one. Using this pillow, I had NO BACK PAIN after a long plane ride for the FIRST TIME EVER! The First Class Sleeper has earned itself a permanent place in my travel kit.A few notes about this product:* The pillow is inflated through a tube, not unlike the tube that they have on the life preservers (you know those yellow life preservers under the airplane seats where you blow into a tube to inflate.) The tube has a twisty bit at the end, which you turn to keep the air inside the pillow. To deflate, you unscrew the end of the tube and fold the sleeper pillow to let the air out.* The Sleeper pillow does not fully inflate. So count your breaths, because the pillow will not look like it has air inside when it really does. It helps to over-inflate (10 breaths) and then decrease the air until you get to a comfortable level* Since you are sharing the seat with your pillow, make sure that your legs have room to stretch under the seat in front of you. Having a large bag under the seat will make things uncomfortable because you will have no room for your legs.* The pillow comes with a slim carrying case bag that’s about 10-12 inches long. The size of the carrying case makes it a bit awkward to carry if you are not using a carry on bag.* Practice using the pillow on a chair at home before road testing it. Given the amount of time that you have to get to your seat, get your stuff in an overhead bin, and get settled in your seat before someone else is demanding access to the seat beside you, it helps to understand how the pillow works so that you can inflate and get settled very quickly.In all, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product, if for no other reason than the fact that for the first time in years, I am not popping pain meds during and after a long plane ride.
