If you really think about it, people don’t buy a travel pillow because they want one. They buy one because they want sleep. And they don’t want token sleep -- the kind that you wake up from exhausted and with a painful crick in the neck.

No, instead you want to close your eyes and wake up hours later, rested, relaxed and ready for your arrival, be it for business or pleasure. So why do so many people buy cheap travel pillows that fail to work as promised?

That question was on the mind of Dr. Melvin Cheatham, a renowned spinal surgeon, author and Clinical Professor of Neurosurgery who likes to travel. He enjoys travelling so much that he has visited over 60 countries and often racks up frequent flier points at a rate of over 100,000 miles per year.

Several years ago, he returned from another trip and tossed another failed travel pillow into a drawer. In it was a pile of more U-shaped pillows that had promised sound sleep at a bargain price, only to start leaking after takeoff or failing to offer better support. Disappointed yet again, his mind was made up to do something about the problem.

As both an expert in the field of spinal medicine and a serious global traveller, he set out to design a pillow that worked as advertised and truly succeeded in offering fellow travelers the comfort and sleep they needed. Borrowing from over 35 years of clinical and private practice, he designed a pillow so revolutionary, it was awarded a patent!

  

A Komfort Kollar Doctor to the Rescue At 30,000 feet in the air, Dr. Cheatham, a spine surgeon with over 35 years of experience treating neck pain, saw how ineffective and uncomfortable regular travel pillows were and set out to make his own pillow that that would be more comfortable for the traveler.  He looked at every travel and neck pillow on the market, carefully charting both the advantages and poor design features of each. Outstanding Design Features Not Found On Any Other Travel Pillow  After examining and testing all of the other travel pillows on the market, Dr. Cheatham focuse d his design attention on supporting the traveler’s cervical spine, and the surrounding neck area from every angle, including the chin.  After building in the necessary features to address these issues, the Komfort Kollar was born - the world’s most comfortable neck support system, which features have never been found on any other travel pillow.

 

Komfort Kollar Full Neck and
Spine Support  

Knowing that the Komfort Kollar's main benefit needed to be focused on supporting the traveler’s cervical spine and surrounding neck area from every angle, including the chin.

The Komfort Kollar’s number one design feature is its ability to support the chin, so that while a traveler is sitting, their head wouldn't droop forward, or to the side, resulting in a painful awakening from hyper flexion. 

That’s the magic of the Komfort Kollar.

 

 

The Komfort Kollar is Completely Adjustable!  Made to Fit Your Neck- Not Everyone Else’s

Unlike other inflatable travel pillows which cannot be adjusted, the Komfort Kollar is completely adjustable for every traveler's personal comfort level and size with the benefit of two adjustability features:

Selecting the right size is the key to a comfortable relaxing fit with the Komfort Kollar:

To insure the right fit  you need to know your neck's circumference. To measure your neck size, use a measuring tape or string to determine how long (i.e. around) it is. Some necksvary in size, which is why the Komfort Kollar is easily adjustable using the Velcro strap. Here is the sizing chart to help you select the right Komfort Kollar model:

Komfort Kollar's Comfort Material

When Dr. Cheatham designed the Komfort Kollar, he also took into account that it must last the rigors of air travel, be soft against the skin, and not get hot like the other travel pillows.  To address this issue, he made the Komfort Kollar with the following features:

Each Komfort Kollar is made from "flocked PVC" vinyl.  The material is designed to be long lasting, hence the guarantee for 5 Years.  The “Flocked PVC” is a unique, high quality material not found on other travel pillows.  It provides a softness that feels comfortable when resting against the face.  It is dark blue in color to hide those

infamous stains that happen when we sleep.  It is also easily washable by hand.

A final benefit in the material in which the Komfort Kollar is made from is that its patented design allows the material which comes in contact with the skin to stay cool and prevents the heat buildup found in other cheaper travel pillows.

The Komfort Kollar is designed to be easily inflated by using the high durability Easy-to-inflate air lock valve.

Recommended by the Wall Street Journal!

The Wall St. Journal's recently did a story on the Komfort Kollar when they were looking to find the best travel pillow, at the best price.  The newspaper testers judged the Komfort Kollar against four other competitors (including Bucky and Tempur-Pedic). The inflatable Komfort Kollar beat them all with the Journal's testers declaring it "best overall, best value" and "the winner." 

Additional Features of the Komfort Kollar:

The Komfort Kollar offers 360 degrees of neck support, including the crucial chin area where your head will tend to droop when you sleep in a sitting position. You can adjust the fit to your own comfort level thanks to a one-inch-wide "Primary Velcro" patch on the right side of the chin strap.

• The Komfort Kollar also features two "chest rests" which help support your chin and head when you drift to sleep in your seat.
• The Komfort Kollar is made of a soft washable material called "flocked PVC" that is cool against the skin and prevents the heat buildup found in other cheaper travel pillows.
• The Komfort Kollar is feather light.  At just 0.18 lbs for the Small model and 0.22 lbs for the Large, the Komfort Kollar folds down flat and stows in its included pocket-sized, matching storage pouch, which easily fits in your carry-on bag between long flights.
• The Komfort Kollar easily inflates and deflates with its air lock valve.

Komfort Kollar Frequently Asked Questions

Aren't these the same pillows people wear after a car accident? No. They may bear a small resemblance, but these are fundamentally different from cervical pillows that physicians prescribe to immobilize a patient's neck. In stark contrast, the Komfort Kollar is designed to give you freedom of movement as you sleep while preventing your neck from flexing at angles that will cause muscle strain and the all too familiar "crick-in-the-neck." The Komfort Kollar is not a medical product. It is a comfort product.

It looks constricting to me. Is it? Actually, the Komfort Kollar is designed to be relatively loose around your neck, and choosing the right size is key to finding the right fit. When the Wall St. Journal's travel writers tested it themselves, they reported, " your neck will thank you ." When worn properly, the inflatable model gently cradles your head.

How does $24.95 compare to other inflatable pillow prices? The Wall St. Journal declared this price " affordable ." When you consider how many $10 U-shaped pillows the average traveler buys before giving up on them altogether, the Kollar's price is a sound investment in keeping your next trip from starting with nagging neck pain. Buying a product that says "travel pillow" on the box is no guarantee that it will help you sleep. The old adage is true, "you get what you pay for."

I've been disappointed by other pillows. How is this any different? Cheap pillows don't offer you better sleep, they just cost less. What makes the Komfort Kollar worth the extra cost is its 360 degrees of support that gently cradles your head the way a top spine surgeon knows it should. Furthermore, the Kollar has been strengthened at key stress points to stand up to repeated use from one trip to the next.

How much air should I blow into the inflatable Kollar? Filling the inflatable 100% tends to make it too firm. Therefore, we recommend blowing it up 90% to 95% so that it feels more like your favorite pillow at home. We find that people naturally doze with their head tilted to one side or the other, as opposed to straight ahead. Having the Kollar filled 90% to 95% helps your head find its natural snoozing angle.

How does the Kollar feel against the skin? The flocked PVC material is designed for long, soft and cool wear against the skin.
