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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Inflatable Travel Sleep Pillows:** Inflatable pillows for travel are becoming more popular due to the discomfort caused by traditional travel pillows. - **Portable Travel Accessories:** The rise of portable travel accessories, such as inflatable pillows, allows for more convenient travel experiences. - **Efficient Travel Gear:** Efficient travel gear, such as the 'APUS Relax' inflatable pillow, is becoming more desirable and sought after by frequent travelers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Travel Accessories:** The travel accessories industry can benefit from new designs and technologies, such as inflatable pillows, that cater to the needs and comfort of travelers. - **Airline Industry:** The airline industry can offer innovative and practical products like the 'APUS Relax' pillow to enhance the travel experience of passengers. - **Outdoor Retail Industry:** The outdoor retail industry, including camping and hiking gear, can benefit from expanding into portable and inflatable gear that can be easily carried on the go. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Face-First Flight Rest Aids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rest-aid.md) - [Adaptive Ergonomic Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tripal.md) - [Posture-Aligned Travel Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleeper-hold-travel-pillow.md) - [Multi-Purpose Travel Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allinone-travel-pillow-system.md) - [Customized Compressible Camp Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-pillow.md) - [Sensory Deprivation Travel Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-travel-pillow.md) - [Two-In-One Neck Pillows Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neck-pillow-lounge.md) - [Neck-Safe Travel Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabeau-tne-s3.md) - [Packable Camp Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/packable-camp-pillow.md)
