Review: MLVOC Inflatable Travel Pillow Set


Product Link: MLVOC Inflatable Travel Pillow Set
Vendor: XSYL
Price: $11.49

I've own different types of neck pillows from ones that are memory foam (non-inflatable) or the inflatable type with different inflation methods.  The purpose is to find the perfect one for each person in my family.

Pros:
  • Soft velvety pillow with extra neck support
  • Packs small and comes with it's own carrying bag
  • Ear plugs came with its own carrying case
Cons:
  • Need to provide a better eye mask
  • Need more color options

Package Includes:
  • MLVOC Inflatable Travel Pillow
  • Eye Mask
  • Ear Plugs w/ Carrying Case
  • Carrying Bag

So this came in a plastic bag that has a ziplock zipper.  I thought this was the carrying case that was listed as included in the product description.  But it was actually just a bag to hold all the included items together.  I am actually perfectly happy with using this bag to hold everything.
Removing all the contents from the zipper bag, I was very impressed with all the things that were given for this pillow set.  Although some of the things included weren't of the best quality.  For example the carrying bag was actually not as good as the zipper bag where everything came together.  The Eye Mask works well enough as a travel mask since its very thin and easily portable.  But it would not be something I would be using at home.  The ear plugs were the foam type that you throw out after a couple of uses.  I did like that it came with its own carrying case that I can just put in my own ear plugs in the future. 

Moving on to the star of the show the inflatable pillow.  The form factor for this is a little different from normal pillows.  It actually has two protruding area near the back of the pillow which gives extra neck support to prevent your head from rolling to the side.  This is the first time I've seen an inflatable pillow with this extra support and it's an absolutely great design change. 

The inflate valve is on the back of the pillow in the middle.  It only took about three breaths of air to blow it up fully.  The valve was well thought out, no air escape while I was blowing it up.  Once I have the neck pillow nice and firm I started using it and found that the extra neck support is really great.  The pillow is extremely soft and has velvety feel to it.  Pressing your face to the side feels very nice and wasn't tough on the skin.  I like that the cover can be removed to wash since these things do get dirty.

To deflate the pillow again is different from other designs.  You open the valve and press the bump in between the valve and let the air out.  It only took a couple of seconds to get the pillow deflated so you can fold it back into its carrying case. 


Overall, I really like this inflatable travel pillow.  I am having a tough time giving this up to an elderly family member while I keep my current Naturehike neck pillow.  But the extra neck support will be great for the elderly.  I would purchase more of this if other colors options were available.
