Has anyone tried using this to sleep inside their car? specifically like for rest stops on a road trip?

Yes...myhusband and I have used it and it does help to make sleeping on seat head-rest more comfortable.

No. To date, I have only used it at home. To overcome my 'hemmed in feeling' feeling, I rotate the pillow 90 degrees to put the right arm under my chin and get blissful sleep thereafter. Hope this helps.

I have used it to sleep although it's very comfortable and supports well after the second time using it the pillow inside split in 2. I can still use it sitting upright

I didn't try that as I only bought it for a plane neck pillow. However, after giving up on it as a neck pillow (because it was too stiff and too high), I tried to use it more like a regular pillow on the plane and that didn't work either. It was still too stiff and really took head pressure to make it conform and get comfy, so I rate it an F for both a neck pillow and regular pillow on a plane.

I actually have not done it.... I bought it for my ex-boyfriend who is a long haul trucker... He absolutely LOVES this pillow but if it was to get washed it would be by me, not him... lol! I would put it in a gentle warm cycle and then air dry... I was a big skeptic on buying this pillow.. But once it arrived and I used it that night (before my boyfriend came home) I was sold!!! Him and I are very picky pillow people... Lol...you wouldn't think a pillow with a bunch of cut up pieces of foam would be comfy at all... But it truly is!!! Hope this helps ... You won't regret buying it!!

My son (2 years, 3 months) uses it while sitting in his seat while the car is in motion. He actually stays awake for the most part, only occasionally napping, and feels comforted by his monkey neck rest. We also tested it out on a 500+ mile trip and he did excellent with the neck rest, wearing it while awake and asleep.

Not really and DEFINITELY NOT FOR THE DRIVER. It's portable, so you could theoretically use it for a passenger in the car, but I think the typical car seat is too springy for the lift to be of much use. The lift is basically a spring, so the downward force is equal to the upward force. You might be able to adjust the weight to allow for that though. Definitely do not use it for the driver's seat though. If you hit a bump or dip in the road, it would most likely lift you away from the gas and brake pedals while the car is in motion. It really works best in a "hard" chair or padded dining-room style chair. Not really and DEFINITELY NOT FOR THE DRIVER.

It would depend on how much space you have in your car. Its bulkier than a normal sleeping bag simply because it's bigger. Its very maneuverable though. Think about it like its a double the size sleeping bag and you're probably not far off at all.

I installed mine in an RV and it worked ok. I have used two of another brand under the front seats of a car and it worked really well. If I had the room under both seats I would have used two in the RV. The remote gain was handy to have.

I would use it for a few days prior to the trip on their favorite sleeping areas, then spray inside their carrier on their blanket for the trip. When we traveled with our cat it also helped to cover the carrier so the cat couldn't see the movement of the car. She meowed for a few minutes then calmed down.

I used it in the trunk of a Mustang and it really toned down the road noise. I'm about to use it in my Impreza and I'm very confident it will work. Keep in mind to use several light coats and allow for adequate drying time.

If your using a CPAP machine cant you just plug it into the wall? I guess if your using it in a car it would work just make sure that the inverter does not over heat.

If you have the system where you can get the internet - then yes. It also converts into a neck pillow for travel. I bought these as gifts and the people I gave them to use them for car trips all the time. Believe it was one of the best gifts I've given.

I've never used the one you have, but this one is firm. It has memory foam and it is contoured. It stays firm too. I use it in my car everyday and I do notice a difference; I'm not shifting every few minutes to try and get comfortable. It helps take the pressure off the lumbar while sitting. Hope this helped.

I found it to be too thick to use in carseat. It made their head fall forward if they fell asleep. It needs to have a space in back for neck to go.

Hi Becky I have not tried this product while sleeping. I only use it on a chair.

I have only used the device in the car where the seat is firm. It works quite well for pivoting my father's position to forward facing after I place him on the seat with a portable lift. He is completely incapacitated and cannot help me since suffering a serious stroke. Before using this simple device it was a struggle to reposition him since he outweighs me by 100lbs. I have not used this device in the bed and I'm not sure how it would work on a softer surface.

I never tried it in the car. I was disappointed after using it twice and sent it back for a full refund.

I use it in my car. I think it might be too thin for sitting on extended periods.
