Description
The Somnia 3.5 is an ergonomic travel pillow made by Orthex in Canada, 15 in long and 3.5 in high. Its top is contoured, and the maker builds the high side to sit against the neck. It folds, so it packs into a bag for a car, a train or a plane.
Who it suits
- Travellers who want a neck support that folds rather than a horseshoe collar.
- Anyone who has been advised to keep the neck supported when sitting upright for a while.
- People who sleep on their side or their back: the maker sizes the contour for both.
Check the fit
- One size, printed by the maker as 15 x 11 x 3.5 in (38.1 x 27.9 x 8.9 cm): 15 in long, 11 in deep and 3.5 in high.
- Align the high side with the neck, the maker's own instruction; it may be used in all positions.
- Allow two to three weeks to adapt, the period the maker states, though faster adaptation is common.
- The maker publishes no weight limit for it, so we print none.
The foam and the cover
- The core is gel infused viscoelastic memory foam, the maker's own description.
- The cover is a breathable knitted coconut polyester that machine washes cold; lay it flat to dry, with no ironing and no bleach.
- The foam itself is not washable. Clean it locally with a damp cloth only.
- Replacement covers are sold on their own, and we can order one with it.
- The five year warranty is Orthex's own, from the date of purchase.
How it compares
This is a comfort pillow, not a wheelchair cushion. For seating, start with our foam wheelchair cushions or the wider cushion range.
Frequently asked questions
Will it stay in place on a plane?
It has no strap. It is made as a compact contour that folds, so it works as a pillow you hold against you rather than a collar that fastens.
Can I buy just the cover?
Yes. Orthex sells the knitted coconut cover on its own and we can order one with the pillow. Ask us through contact.
Who handles the warranty?
The five year warranty is Orthex's own and claims go to them. Our warranty and service page explains how we help with a claim.
Does it work in bed as well?
Yes. The maker says it may be used in all positions, so it works in bed or in a chair, not only when travelling.
