For long distances - Travel comfortably with a travel pillow

If you want to increase the comfort while driving for the driver, front passenger and also the occupants in the rear and may occasionally suffer from neck or shoulder pain, you may benefit from a special neck support pillow for the driver or front passenger seat or the back seat! It is therefore worthwhile to find out more about this topic - especially if you are not entirely satisfied with the existing headrests. Unfortunately, the headrests available ex works are not always ideally configured and often not particularly comfortable. Special equipment or headrests of a BMW 7 Series, a Mercedes S-Class, an Audi A8 or other vehicles in the luxury segment (see photo above) are often the exception here.

Comfort while driving increased

The factory existing neckrests can either be replaced or modified by a comfort headrest. These headrests prevent tilting of the head during the ride and can therefore damage the neck and the musculature of the shoulder (which is already more heavily loaded when driving a car anyway) significantly relieve. Especially for the passenger, who may lean slightly back in the passenger seat and perhaps want to sleep briefly while driving, these modified, comfortable neck rests are ideal. They prevent an uncomfortable sideways tilting of the head during sleep and thereby relieve the cervical spine significantly. Some car manufacturers already offer different versions of the head restraints ex works (Note - text receipt) - Unfortunately, most manufacturers do not have a good support to the side, so the head often slips to the side on the existing headrest.

Prevent problems of the cervical spine / neck

So if you have problems with the neck or the cervical spine, you should pay attention to an ergonomic head and neck support. A good ergonomics of these components can be a significant plus in comfort especially for longer trips or frequent travelers. It is worthwhile to inform yourself about the different possibilities. Ideally, you will test the various specimens in a well-stocked vehicle accessory store. The products are named under different names (Travel Pillows, Car Pillows, Neck Support, Neck Pillows, Car Pillows, Neck Support Pillows, Head Neck Support, Headrest Pillows, Neck Support, Comfort Headrest) sold. It should always be checked whether the headrest can be retrofitted to the seat of your own car - it is essential to ensure compatibility and stability. In addition, under no circumstances should these headrests restrict the driver's field of vision to the side or in the shoulder area - otherwise driving safety could be seriously endangered.

The field of view must not be restricted

And finally ... The retrofitted modified neckrests offer real added value for all occupants, since a more comfortable and comfortable position is possible, especially on long journeys. However, one should take time for the selection of such a product and check in particular the compatibility with the seats of the car. In addition, of course, the safety aspect must not be neglected in the retrofitting. Then there is nothing in the way of a relaxed ride with a comfortable neck support!
