Ever wondered why that U-shaped pillow you bought at the airport leaves you with a stiff neck? Let's dive into some head-turning facts about travel pillows and why they often fall short.
Here's the scoop: the heaviest part of your head isn't where you think it is. It's actually at the back of your skull, around the occipital bone. In other words, where most of the brain sit at the top of the head and toward the back of the skull. This is key to understanding proper head support.
Now, picture those typical travel pillows. They wrap around your neck like a boa constrictor , right? Doesn’t sound cozy, but let’s not forget about the constant rubbing of the neck - they're supporting the wrong area. These pillows cradle your neck where your head bends or tilts, missing the crucial spot that needs the most support.
Unlike its counterparts, I designed the Bolstie gets it right by supporting your head at a higher point. By doing so, it effectively cradles that weighty occipital region, keeping your head aligned with your spine.
