You Need This: A Fucking Head Hammock For Long Haul Flights

You Need This: A Fucking Head Hammock For Long Haul Flights

Anything for a comfortable flight.

Long-haul flights stopped being fun the moment I could no longer stretch my legs out without kicking the seat in front of me (so when I was 10 years old). And sorry to the people I was kicking.

In economy class, falling asleep is risky business. You either let your head fall and wake up in a jolt, or you end up falling into your neighbour's lap - easy tiger.


So what if there was a solution that would allow you to enjoy a comfortable(ish) flight without molesting any other passengers?

Some would tell me to shut up and buy a neck pillow. Been there, done that and my review on the neck pillow is that they are shit.

The NodPod, therefore, could be the answer. It's a hammock for your head. Yes, you did read that right. It's great and you may even get extra perks on your flight for looking like you have been in a serious injury wearing a neck brace.

How it works. Basically, it echoes how you sleep in your bed (with your head at a 90-degree angle), only in an upright position, so you can nap on the go.

It all sounds wonderful, and I would try anything for a peaceful long-haul flight but I have found a significant flaw in the design before even purchasing.

It attaches to the seat behind. Well, I generally won't know that person behind and if he/she is like me, they too would try and sabotage my sleep.

To be honest, I would sell my left (or right) testicle for a comfortable long-haul flight, so i'd give it a go.
