Ultra-light Silk-like Travel Sheet

Some places are just too HOT to sleep – and many countries, like in Europe, offer a duvet with no top sheet.  (Try getting a good night sleep in August in southern Spain sleeping under a duvet).  So I pack a light weight sleeping bag liner to use as a top sheet.  It’s also great for whenever I sleep in a hostel.

 It can double as a light blanket on a plane or train.  This model even has a pocket for the pillow, yet folds down to just 6″x 8″ and weighs about 8 ounces.  It’s nice and big, too, at 41″ x 86″ (105 x 220cm).  Of course, you can also use it with your sleeping bag to help keep it clean.  Available with a velcro or zipper side opening for those with temperature control issues like me:)  Choose from three colors.

Travel Pillow : Look Ridiculous, but Get Some Sleep

I bust a gut everytime I see this travel pillow:  I’m not sure I have the nerve to wear it, but I can see the quality design and that it would be effective no matter what your seat is like.  Plane pillows always slide down between the wall and seat.  This one can’t: it’s like a fluffy boxing glove that slides over your head with an opening for your nose and mouth. And if you want to rest your head down, it even has holes for your hands.  I do believe they have thought of everything.  It’s design blocks all light and allows you to move your head however you feel comfortable.  Genius even though it looks hysterical!  Filled with lightweight microbeads, it weighs nothing and is easy to clean.  Sure to be a conversation starter
