If you can never get comfortable when traveling but a neck pillow takes up too much room in your hand luggage, this oversized hoodie has one built in, making it summer's travel staple.
H&M's Inflatable Neck Pillow Hoodie: A Travel Game-Changer
Getting comfortable during long-haul travel is nearly impossible. A neck pillow can provide some relief when trying to sleep on a train or plane, but they often occupy significant space in hand luggage or become an annoying extra item to carry around the airport.
However, H&M has just launched what might be this summer's must-have travel staple: the Inflatable Neck Pillow Hoodie, priced at £44.99. Although it falls under menswear from the Solar Club X H&M Move collaboration, images show it is a unisex item suitable for all travelers.
Design and Features
The hoodie is oversized for a comfortable, cozy fit, essential for travel. No one wants to be stuck in tight, body-hugging clothes on a long flight. It is made from soft cotton with a brushed inside, keeping it cozy, breathable, and lightweight.
In addition to standard hoodie features like a kangaroo pocket and double-layered drawstring hood, the Inflatable Neck Pillow Hoodie includes a clever hidden detail. Tucked inside the neck is a removable, inflatable travel neck pillow that supports the head and neck while wearing it. You can remove it via the zip at the back of the hood if you want a regular hoodie, or inflate it through a hidden nozzle inside the neckline.
Comfort and Versatility
The neck pillow fits comfortably around the neck, offering support for sleeping or relaxing on a plane or train. It also aids in meditation for full relaxation. Available in sizes XS to XXL, it features a simple neutral grey colorway with a subtle constellation-inspired pattern on the back.
Availability and Alternatives
The Inflatable Neck Pillow Hoodie is new to H&M but is already selling out quickly. If you miss out, the Pillowdy Unisex Full Zip Up Hoodie offers a similar design at £90.82 on Amazon, with a cozy, oversized fit and built-in neck pillow that inflates in minutes. Alternatively, the Inspireyes Travel Pillow for £18.04 covers eyes from light and supports the neck, preventing flopping or drooping to ease neck pain.
