Inflatable Pillows

If you travel light, check carry-on, and want a pillow that takes up almost no space — an inflatable pillow makes sense for you. Deflated, the AIR packs down to 15 × 22 cm and weighs only 240 g. It fits in any bag without taking up real estate. The bigger question is whether inflatable means uncomfortable. Spoiler alert: it doesn't. The AIR uses an H-shape — not the classic U-ring — which means it supports your head from the sides and chin from the front, not just the back of your neck. Add a pressure-regulating valve and you can fine-tune the firmness to exactly what feels right for your neck and seat.

FLOWZOOM was founded with one clear goal: to actually solve upright sleep during travel — not just put another travel pillow on the market. The AIR is designed for travelers who want adjustability and compactness without giving up real support. It comes with a travel bag that attaches directly to your suitcase or backpack — so the pillow is always within reach at the airport, not buried at the bottom of your bag.
Our pillows are regularly reviewed by customers, refined, and tested in real travel situations. The AIR was awarded the FAZ Kaufkompass Testsieger — tested and rated as the top pick by one of Germany's most respected editorial outlets. Quality you can prove.

The cover on both pillows is removable and machine washable at 30°C. Do not wash the foam core — simply air it out or wipe it down dry. Washing the cover before first use is recommended here too. After washing, air-dry the cover — avoid the tumble dryer to protect the material. The included travel pouch keeps the pillow clean and compact whenever it's not in use.

We stand behind our products. If you're not happy with your AIR pillow within the first 180 days — for any reason — we'll sort it out without any hassle. No lengthy back and forth. Our support team responds quickly and finds a solution. If your pillow ever leaks, we'll send a replacement within 72 hours — no matter when you bought it. You can contact us using our contact & returns page.

The AIR's cover is made from 100% soft-fleece polyester — the part that sits against your skin. The inflatable bladder is PVC, built leak-proof and free from formaldehyde and phthalates. Durable enough for frequent travel, easy enough to maintain. We continuously work on making our packaging and materials more sustainable. No single-use plastic, no unnecessary extras — the AIR comes with a reusable and practical travel bag included.

The most important question is material quality. Many inflatable pillows feel plasticky against the skin and lose air mid-flight — both are signs of poor construction. Look for a soft, washable cover that sits comfortably against your neck, and a secure one-way valve that holds air reliably throughout the journey. Inflation and deflation should take seconds, not fuss. Beyond that, think about packability: a well-built inflatable pillow packs down smaller than most paperbacks — without the bulk of memory foam. Traveling with kids? The AIR Kids is a sized-down version of the AIR in ice blue, with a strap closing system designed for smaller necks.

The AIR comes in two sizes based on neck circumference. Measure around the base of your neck: up to ~33 cm go with M, from ~33 cm go with L. If you're right on the border, L gives more flexibility. Beyond size, the AIR can be worn in 5 different positions — so you can adjust not just firmness but also how the pillow sits depending on your seat and sleep style. Not sure if the AIR is right for you or whether a memory-foam model suits you better? Our pillow finder walks you through it in 60 seconds — with an interactive quiz, comparison charts, and videos.

Both AIR pillows come in Gray and Black. If you prefer a classic, understated look, Gray is the safe choice. If you want something a little sleeker, Black travels just as well. Both colors come with a detachable hood — useful for blocking out light and drafts on longer flights. One more thing: both models come in gift-ready packaging and make popular gifts — a thoughtful choice for anyone who wants to give the travelers in their life something they'll actually use on every trip.
