Customer Reviews of Travelon 1st Class SleeperCustomer Review: Lower back pain? A steal at $29, and especially good for people <6' and <210 Summary: 5 Stars
MY PROBLEM: I get lower back pain when I attempt to sleep in coach class. Sleeping in coach class is tricky for me because (a) if I sleep upright, my upper back isn't well-supported & my legs can't stretch; but (b) if I move my butt down the seat to stretch my legs, my lower back is no longer supported.
I saw the nice reviews on here and bought this item for Christmas as a gift to myself.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT: Generally speaking, it's been great. I have now taken two moderately-long flights (DTW-LAS-DTW) with it, as well as a 4+ hour Econoline Van Ride in the rear seats.
The 1st Class Sleeper is supposed to give you full-torso support by first providing the needed 'wedge' to support your lower back, and then some additional support to support your upper back (since it would otherwise be off the seatback). I have found that this wedge is not large enough to provide enough support.
Thus, I fold it in half (the manual calls this the 'lumbar support mode'), and both semi-inflated halves thus end up supporting my lower back.
To help support my neck and upper back, I combine this 1st Class Sleeper with the Brookstone NAP Travel Pillow (I don't use the U-shaped one, I use the wedge-shaped one). It takes a few minutes of adjusting to get them to work together, but once you settle in, it's truly very comfortable.
Note that in order to get the most out of this 'lumbar support mode,' it's best if you're not unbearably uncomfortable sitting with your butt on only about a hand's-width-worth of depth on the seat. If you are OK sitting on that little of a part of chair, then this 'lumbar support mode' that I'm talking about would work for you. Those with really big butts might not be able to appreciate this mode I'm describing here. Also, those with really big bellies might not be able to appreciate it because then your front can possibly come really close to the seat in front, if the person in front is reclining too. I'm 5'8" and 175 lbs, with a 33" waist. Anybody <6' and <210 lbs should be able to fully appreciate it.
All things considered, I was able to almost 'sit flat' with my setup.
BOTTOM LINE: If you get lower back pain when you attempt to sleep in coach class on the plane, you should definitely consider getting this product. If you are also <6' and <210 lbs, it's really a no-brainer. I'd recommend combining this with some kind of sleep pillow if you tend to need a lot of lumbar support.
