While spending time away from home, one of the most important things travelers seek during their trip is comfortability. Between walking and driving to new places, standing in long lines for the area’s best attractions, traveling long distances in tight spaces, and more, a little comfort can go a long way in making the trip its most enjoyable.
From cozy slippers to plush bedding, here are some convenient must-haves for anyone seeking some extra luxury while traveling, including:
1. Back-Support Seats
Ideal for travelers who like added padding while sitting, a quality seat cushion with proper lumbar support (such as one made with poly foam) is a great way to stay comfortable while seated for hours at a time. Many are created in a way that relives pressure on the tailbone, spine and neck. And while it’s a great product for on-the-go travel, it can also be used at work, at home, in the car, etc., long after your vacation is over.
2. Sleep Sack
Some travelers prefer using their own sheets while staying at a hotel. For those individuals, a sleep sack—like the SHEEX® Performance SLEEP-SAX—offers a soothing alternative to sleeping directly on the bedding provided. These sleep sacks are typically made with soft, stretchable materials that are extra roomy and highly breathable.
3. Travel Pillow
Even if you’re not a frequent traveler, purchasing a quality travel pillow can be your best investment yet. Many are designed in a “U” shape to encourage proper alignment of the muscles around your neck while sleeping upright, and many of the higher-quality pillows are created with memory foam to offer an even more snug fit.
4. Portable Memory Foam Topper
While this is certainly a luxury item to bring along each trip, it can often make the difference between a relaxing night’s sleep and a nightmarish evening of restlessness and discomfort. Memory foam toppers can range in price, but some can be very affordable, while still being just as high in quality as other more expensive alternatives.
5. Padded Slippers
A lightweight item to throw in a suitcase, carry-on bag or purse, a soft pair of suede-padded slippers can do wonders of comfort for your feet after long hours spent walking, running around or standing. They can also be great for shockingly cold floors in hotel rooms, vacation homes or another type of temporary accommodation, such as tile or stained-concrete floors.
6. Heated Blanket
Whether you’re traveling during the winter months to someplace in the North or you just get chilly a little more quickly than others do, a heated blanket is ideal for keeping you warm without changing the surrounding temperature for your travel companions. Most of them plug in easily to common electrical outlets and some are designed for plugging into 12-volt power receptacles, ideal for long road trips, camping and more.
7. Portable Back Massager
If there’s still room in your suitcase, another luxury travel product to bring along is a handheld or portable back massager. Many are designed to give a powerful percussive-type massage with different speeds and intensities, while also being free of any annoying cords that tend to get in the way. It’s perfect for ending the day with relaxed muscles that help you get a deeper, more restful night’s sleep.
