3. Cushion your head
Now let’s get to the bottom of this. Sleeping in a position where you’re not fully reclined is difficult because it puts pressure on your spine. Which is why a cushion is being suggested to use. The U-shaped cutout of Magellan’s Luxe Self-Inflating Seat Cushion ($41) relieves pressure on your spinal cord, suspends your tailbone, and makes airplane seats feel a lot less like airplane seats. It inflates automatically and folds up into a nice little pouch allowing you to enjoy your long hour’s flight.
