Sidneyraz, a TikTok user, frequently posts hacks and tips he finds. “wishes he knew before his 30s”.
In the video, he puts the travel pillow on top of his neck but then flips it.
He stated that: “Travel pillows go in front. I’m so comfy [and] you can actually sleep on a flight.”
TikTok users were surprised to discover that they had been incorrectly using the pillow all along. They placed the main portion of the pillow behind their heads instead of supporting the chin.
It has been called a game-changer in sleeping on a plane. One person stated that it was “No way.” My whole life has been a lie.
A TikTok user joked: “Wish I’d known this on my 10 hour flight.”
Many were in agreement: “I never understood why I found them uncomfy, but I was doing it wrong this whole time.”
A lot of people claimed that they blamed the advertisements, which always displayed the travel pillow behind the head and not in the front.
Others who claimed they had done this have said that they received strange looks from passengers.
This was also the correct way back in 2019, according to Dr Micheal Breus, who is known in the US as The Sleep Doctor.
He saidNews.com.au: “And one thing I tell my clients is that if you have a U-shaped neck pillow, turn it around so the bottom of the U is under your chin.”
“That’s because your head tends to bob which will wake you up, and by rotating the pillow it stops your head from bobbing.”
These are some of our top picks for travel pillows.
The 2-in-1 pillow and blanket for flights is a favorite among travelers.
Another travel essential that passengers are using wrong is the flight sock – and it all depends on how long they are worn for.
