When we first received and unwrapped the Bolstie, we were intrigued by its unique design. It didn't look like any other travel pillow memory foam that we already had. In fact, it had no filling at all! Actually, we were a bit bewildered. We called our kids and they explained to us how to fill it with our own clothes, which allowed us to customize the pillow's firmness or softness. That's so interesting as we have never seen anything like it. We tested out on the couch and were amazed! We took turns to try it out, we knew we were holding something special.
The first thing we noticed was how incredibly soft and comfortable the high-quality velvet material felt against our skin. It was like snuggling up with a cozy, supportive cloud! And the best part? The Bolstie is NOT a neck-wrapping pillow like the others and the ones we have. Those were always so choking and hot but there were no better alternatives - until Bolstie. The kids told us that it's also fantastic for lower back discomfort from prolonged sitting, which is a blessing for us. They said it is the best lumbar travel pillow that they have tried.
It all started on our last visit - our kids saw the exhaustion on both of our faces. The memory foam neck pillow did nothing as we settled into our uncomfortable economy seats. Our kids asked if we wanted to upgrade but it's a waste of their money. Before our Christmas flight, we took some time to practice packing the pillow for weight and comfort level. The ergonomic neck support was unlike anything we'd experienced before because it directly supported our heads, and it made such a difference in preventing neck and shoulder pain from awkward sleeping positions. The hugging part of the pillow was our favorite. My husband told me the weight and feel of the pillow reminded him of the times when he held them in his arms as babies - Okay, we both kinda teared up...in a good way with such great memories.
To all the senior travelers out there, we highly recommend adding the Bolstie to your travel essentials. It's a small investment that makes a world of difference in terms of comfort and support. And to all the wonderful children looking for the perfect travel gift ideas for the one in their lives, look no further than the Bolstie Travel Pillow! We can't wait to bring our Bolstie on all our future adventures, such as cruises, knowing that we'll be able to fully enjoy every moment without the discomfort and pain that used to hold us back. Thank you, Bolstie, and thank you to our amazing kids for this life-changing early Christmas surprise!
