Buying a new travel pillow can feel like rolling the dice: there’s nothing more disappointing than trying one in transit only to discover you’ve purchased a mediocre model or, worse, a pillow that is actively uncomfortable. Enter Ostrichpillow. Yes, they look downright crazy, but traditionally-shaped travel pillows often put a strain on your neck and spine. They tend to be ill-fitted and encourage tense sleeping positions.
Ostrichpillows, on the other hand, come in innovative and zany shapes that provide support as well as an individual, customizable fit. Read: they’re actually comfortable. They don’t leave you stiff and sore, they feature soft, breathable fabrics, and feel like a bona fide memory foam pillow. Whether you’re flying internationally, driving cross country, or taking a sneaky siesta at your desk, Ostrichpillows are a cozy, flexible dream. You just have to be brave enough to use one in public. We’ll take you through a round-up of the brand’s best offerings, from the semi-conventional to the downright bizarre.
The Original Napping Pillow
The Ostrichpillow Original is, um, hard to explain. It defies logic. It defies words. But we’ll give it a shot: this $99 plush deep sea diver helmet provides the most comfortable sleep on the go you’ve ever imagined. Just pull down your tray table, squeeze into the OG OP, and pass out. Don’t even worry about your neighbors or the flight attendants; you won’t be able to register their shock and awe inside your personal fabric oasis. Embrace the slightly demented octopus look as you allow the Ostrich Pillow to cradle you on your cross-country road trip. Go ahead, pass out on your boss’ desk wearing the head of a furless high school mascot. You now own the ultimate travel pillow and have the ability to sleep wherever you want, whenever you want. With great power comes great responsibility.
The Light Versatile Pillow
The Ostrichpillow Light requires a slightly more adventurous traveler as it’s essentially a pillow crown (you heard that right) that doubles as a sleep mask. An adjustable “head perimeter” ensures a snug fit, and the interior is truly plush. If you’re happy to ride a commuter train wearing a padded hat to get in a good rest, this is the travel pillow you deserve.
The Mini Pillow
The Ostrichpillow Mini is the snuggly mitten you’ve always been waiting for. This glove-pillow will stay put and comfortable on your hand or forearm (the product page also advertises “elbow” use which we haven't quite figured out...), ensuring a more normal, natural sleeping position. The pillow is super lightweight and well-sized, and it is supportive enough for multi-hour sleep. Unlike other Ostrich Pillow products, the Mini flies under the radar and won't have your seatmate staring, so it is a great starting point for the uninitiated.
