Cocoon Travel Products Review
Coolmax Travel Blanket and Contour Travel Pillow with Memory Foam
Mar 31, 2009
The makers of Cocoon travel products, designed by travelers for travelers, understand the need for essentials. They can make the different between a restful trip and a nightmare at 30,000 feet.
But with airlines charging extra fees per bag and carry-on space becoming more restricted, essentials must be compact, lightweight and versatile.
Two such products include Cocoon’s Coolmax Travel Blanket and Contour Travel Pillow.
Cocoon’s Coolmax Travel Blanket
Made with a special knit that’s not only warm but wicks moisture away from the body, Cocoon Coolmax Travel Blanket’s soft texture feels great against bare skin. Since its machine washable, there’s no worry of cleanliness like with the dingy blankets they give out on planes or in youth hostels.
Lightweight yet large, measuring 55” X 70”, when rolled the travel blanket fits conveniently into the included nylon bag, small enough to fit in a day bag, carry on, glove compartment or purse.
Though made with travel in mind, in a pinch, Cocoon’s Coolmax Travel Blanket also doubles as a baby wrap or a beach blanket. Because it dries extremely fast, it makes the perfect blanket for camping or hostelling. Budget travelers can even use it as a towel in less luxurious hostels.
At 30 dollars Cocoon’s Coolmax Travel Blanket can seem a little on the pricey side, but with such convenience and versatility, it’s truly an investment.
Contour Travel Pillow
Made with Memory Foam, originally created by NASA for use in space, Cocoon's Travel Pillow reacts to body heat and gently molds to fit the specific contours of an individual’s neck and spine.
Though larger than most travel pillows (10" X 12" X 4"), when rolled, the memory foam pillow fits nicely into a small nylon bag and easily squeezes into even overstuffed carry on bags. Soft and pliable in cooler weather, it’s great for tent camping or traveling in countries like Peru where temperatures change often.
Perfect for long bus rides, plane trips, the beach or even around home, the memory foam pillow makes a comfortable addition to any situation.
Covered in a silky velour cover that slips off for easy care, the Contour Travel Pillow feels great next to the sensitive skin of the face and neck.
At 50 dollars, casual travelers may want to pass. However, for anyone planning numerous long voyages, the memory foam contour pillow makes a great travel accessory.
Cocoon began making travel gear such as sleeping bags and mummy liners back in 1989. Based in Austria, Design Salt USA located in Washington State, markets and sales these and other Cocoon travel products in North America.
