Wow. that was quick.
Sent a cheque off on Tuesday afternoon, jetsleeper just arived.

I'll take a photo later when the batteries have charged for the camera.
It's a nice blue and although red is my favourite colour, this blue is a subdued light blue and not so "in your face",

It weights absolutely ziltch and is not much bigger than my hand when packed in its clear wallet.
I haven't opened it yet, but when you take it out of the wallet, it self expands and you can help it by fluffing it up with your hands.
It tells you on the packet there are 3 positions to accomodate children, "normal" and then for tall people by positioning the pillow further up or down the hook.

Just a proviso...sleeping on long haul flights increases the risk of DVT...so make sure you take some exercise in between naps and plenty of fluids.

Here are a few pictures to give you an idea of the size and the colour, if you order a blue one.
I might get around to taking it out of the wallet tomorrow.

Looks great will be interested if you open it and try it out. Meaning fitting it to something to see how if feels.

I'm really quite tempted, however I'm a bit puzzled. Seeing as it self-inflates, I'm wondering how easy it is to deflate it and get it back in its original pouch?

I'll take some more photo's later.
I've opened it and hooked onto the back of the high backed computer chair and pulled the strap across to the arm, I can't fix it as you could on the armrest of an aeroplane seat because the design of my chair wont let me.
IMO, it's going to work for the simple reason that you are creating a sling for your head to rest into and the end of the jetsleeper pillow comes across under your chin when the strap is taut.

However, for me because I have medical condition in my neck, there isn't enough filling in the pillow and I need more support, my head goes over too far to one side, but I do have problems even with my pillows on the bed, so it may be fine for other people..... the pillow has a zip on it and when opened you can see the filling, so I personally will pack it with some more filling from a spare cushion or a bit of foam....failing that I will just pack underneath it with the baby blanket between my shoulder and the aeroplane seat....but at least it's not going to move or slip away from me.

I haven't tried to get it back in its wallet yet, but it does show you on the packet how to wrap it up and it does say to fold it up very tightly......if I can't get it back into the wallet, that's not going to bother me because the pillow weighs absolutely nothing and I'll just put it in another bag because it will squashed down in your hand luggage inbetween whatever else you carry.

I have now ordered mine and it is due to be sent by 1st class post tomorrow so should have it by Tuesday. Yes I have left it a bit late as I will be going off next Monday 17th Nov. As I am travelling long haul I do hope that it will make my journey more comfortable, Toying with the idea of taking the other neck support pillow I bought a new one recently?

Happy flying

Hi Flipflopper,
I am the manufacturer, and I am trying to keep the price reasonable so that us poor people in Cattle Class can afford it.

Good luck with the sales

Are they manufactured in the UK?

Just wondered what the feedback was on these now, are they better than cushties?

I`m thinking of ordering one of these for our next flight. I`m just a bit worried that I may be too short for the pillow to go under my neck. I am unusually short-waisted and I see that the pillow section hooks from the top, can it be lowered? I am not sure if my head reaches the top of the seat. :think

Are you too short for Jetsleeper?
The pillow has 3 positions on the hook, which you can see on the jetsleeper website. My Grand nephew is 4 foot six and he is fine with jetsleeper on the lowest position. Have a good flight .

Have any of the purchasers actually used this on a flight yet ?

If so any feedback ?
