Breaking Old Habits: The Right Way to Use Your Bolstie

Let's talk about travel pillow habits, shall we? We've all been there - instinctively wrapping that U-shaped pillow around our necks. But with the Bolstie, it's time to unlearn that reflex.

 

 

Here's the scoop: there is indeed a wrong way to use the Bolstie, and it's exactly how we've been taught to use traditional travel pillows. Resist the urge to wrap it around your neck when you're sitting up. I know, I know - it feels weird at first like anything that needs unlearning.

So what's the right way? It's simpler than you might think. When you're seated, use the Bolstie as a body pillow. Hug it close, letting it support your arms and torso. Rest your head against it at a comfortable angle. This method provides full-body support without putting any strain on your neck.

The only time your Bolstie should be behind your head is when you're fully horizontal - think lying in bed, sprawled on the floor of an airport during a long layover (we've all been there), or any other flat surface. In these situations, it works brilliantly to elevate and support your head and neck.

I get it - this approach feels different. We're retraining ourselves to think about travel comfort in a new way. But that's the beauty of the Bolstie - it's not just a new product, it's a rediscovering a philosophy of travel comfort that we have been doing naturally for most of our lives.

Remember, simplicity is key. The Bolstie way is about working smarter, not harder, to achieve maximum comfort your way. So next time you travel, resist the neck-wrap urge and embrace the Bolstie hug instead.
