When I was sorting through gifts to theoretically put in one large box for my best friend, I knew I wanted to zero in on travel accessories she’d be happy to pack up and actually use. Her work zips her across the country on a regular basis, and she has a big trip to Singapore coming up in the new year, so I wanted to include skin care that keeps drying at bay, a refreshing solid perfume that won’t send the TSA into a tailspin, and a tiny brush that is perfect for a post-plane primp. To complete the quartet, I was looking for a travel pillow that didn’t look like it was going to swallow her whole and could go from plane to hotel to couch. Enter Purple’s Anywhere Pillow.
Cut from the same cloth as Purple’s popular Harmony pillow, the Anywhere version boasts the same sleeping experience in a much tinier package. To start, it is made with the brand’s classic gel honeycomb design and latex, which provides bouncy, medium-firm support (per reviewers, the loft is equitable to the tall version of the Harmony). It weighs just 3.6 pounds and is no wider than 1.5 feet, and you can add on a compression carrier and perfectly sized pillowcases to complete the deal. The brand offers free shipping and returns as well as a 100-night trial and one-year warranty.
For More Than Mid-Flight Sleep
Some may argue that there are better airplane pillows, and that could be true—but so many of them aren’t as versatile as this. Its use goes beyond fitful hours of snoozing in the air and can be slept on in hotels, a partner for those who make numerous family visits (and have to sleep on sofas or air mattresses), and fit even for campers. Talk about a multi-hyphenate.
Reviewers say it’s particularly ideal for travelers sensitive to squishy pillows while away from home. “We travel a lot. And I mean a lot. We’ve had too many soft pillows to count in hotel rooms. We wanted an easy travel pillow that we can use to sleep on as well. Highly recommend this pillow,” says one buyer. Some share that they use it as arm support on their regular bed, and others sing its praises for how it never loses its shape.
With a price similar to other full-size pillows, Cyber Month is a good time to snag it on sale—for yourself, your own best friend, or anyone else in your life who is always on the go.
