Trying to get quality sleep with a [traditional travel pillow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resten) usually results in a kink or two in the neck or back, so the 'APUS Relax' is an inflatable pillow that will end this struggle.

Instead of relying on the seat that you're sitting on for support, the 'APUS Relax' pillow works by being inflated and placed on a [folding table tray on an airplane](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-france-and-sofitel) or bus. Once blown up, the 'APUS Relax' will provide ample relaxation capabilities, while also featuring a spot to keep your hands during your rest.

The 'APUS Relax' inflatable pillow can be inflated in just 30-seconds and deflated in 15-seconds. This means users can be ready to get some shuteye or disembark the airplane in just a few moments flat.
