How It All Started | Flight Fillow - Reinventing the Neck Pillow
Hello there! I'm Georgia Wilson, the Inventor of the Flight Fillow, and I'm thrilled you've landed here!
IT ALL STARTED WHEN…
I was packing for a trip, facing the classic dilemma: "Should I bring my neck pillow?" I wanted the comfort of a neck pillow without any of the hassles of packing or carrying it around. I opted to pack light, leaving my neck pillow behind.
The regret hit hard as I found myself on an uncomfortable budget airline with a middle seat and no amenities. Desperate for comfort, I improvised with my sweater, attempting to create a makeshift pillow. The struggle was real – crumpling, rolling, and restarting each time my head nodded off.
THE A-HA! MOMENT
I found if I had my sweater rolled a certain way, it felt the same as my neck pillow! I was excited at the thought of never needing to pack my bulky travel pillow again. However, every time I moved around in my seat or got up to let someone into the aisle, I had to start all over to have it feel perfect again. I thought to myself "if only I had something to hold my improvised neck pillow together – a sleeve of some kind". And so, Flight Fillow was born.
