Head hammock to fall asleep on a plane

Is this the answer to actually waking up well-rested after a long haul flight?

For most people, air travel is a bit of a nightmare. Put aside the crying babies and lack of legroom, there’s the problem of never waking up feeling well-rested. Well, if you’re travelling in economy class anyway…

A new invention is set to change all that though. The NodPod is marketed as a ‘hammock for your head’.

It mimics the way you sleep in bed with your head tiled to the side. The best bit? You can easily fasten it to the back of your chair and it’s designed to not obstruct the TV screen of whoever is sitting behind you.

Creator Paula Blankenship said she took her invention to Kickstarter because she wanted to change the way the world travels.

“Through extensive travels over the years as a professional commercial interior designer, I was always searching for a better way to rest on a plane, car or any form of transportation. I found traveling to be a tiring task and never quite found the perfect solution for really being able to rest on a plane or in a car,” she said.

“The simple solution came to me while traveling on a plane to visit a friend. When I arrived back home, I sat out to create my simple and effective design and wallah… the NodPod was born!”

What do you think? Would you let this $25 head hammock replace the good ol’ travel pillow?
