When you're short on space, it's not always possible to stretch out in order to satisfy sleep and travel in a car, train, airplane or otherwise. In order to balance out the need for products that are compact and comfortable, the multipurpose King Eye Mask Napping Pillow was developed.
Sold through the Japan Trend Shop, this two-in-one travel mask and pillow covers the eyes and supports the neck whether you're sitting upright or laying face-down on a desk.
Travelers may be deterred from trying this product for fear of looking silly, but the Ostrich Pillow for public napping is an example of an outrageous design that is still wildly popular—so in the end, maximum comfort may trump the potential for embarrassment.
