Sleep researchers, flight attendants and travelers helped to inform the development of POD, a patent-pending travel pillow complete with its own structured pillowy hood and a built-in eye mask. The design of the adjustable, comfort-focused travel pillow was based on real neck braces in order to provide the utmost level of support, and all the while, it remains easy to store, portable, hygienic and washer-safe.
POD is adaptable and easy to use in different configurations and it boasts "the highest sensory deprivation you can get out of a travel pillow." Pluto's POD has the potential to help any busy traveler find more peace on their journeys, like supermodel and mom Coco Rocha, who is well-versed in frequent traveling and needing to rest along the way.
