Jetheads Disposable Airline Pillowcases - Review & Giveaway
I'm not a huge germaphobe. I do hate bugs however. Not your average garden kind, more like the teeny tiny invisi-bugs that live on people's heads and skin. When we travel via car, I always bring my own pillow wherever we go. That's not always easy to do when flying though, and my family will testify that I lift mattresses and check for bugs in each hotel room we stay in.
With the rising costs of air travel and the diminishing services they offer, it probably doesn't come as a huge surprise that airlines don't change the covers on the pillows they offer for use after every flight. Which is why I ball up my sweater or jacket and lean on it. That however, does not thrill me to do for our flight home next year from Barcelona. 8 hours using my jacket as a pillow is not enticing.
Jethead pillowcases have come to my rescue, through the Parent Reviewers Travel With Me blog tour! These disposable pillowcases are a very good way of protecting your family from previous passengers potential germs and (I don't even want to think about it eww...) bugs.
The fabric used in the manufacturing is soft on the skin. The only thing that I could see on them that could even be counted as negative is minuscule. The serged ends on the threads are clipped a little long and it detracts a bit from the look of them (it makes them seem not so quality, but they are it is just a perception of the longish threads). Since they are to be disposed after use, that was probably not worth mentioning, but it may bother some people.
I wish they would sell them in different colors or patterns as well (hint hint). Licensed characters would certainly attract children to them!
I would recommend these if you are planning on airline travel with your family. This is an extremely functional travel accessory. While it may seem a little pricey at $5.95 for a package of two (available at Travel With Me), look at it as cheap insurance from a ruined vacation due to sickness or infestation or from a heyday of doctors visits when you return home.
Please read **About Reviews at the bottom of this page.
Since I received more Jethead pillowcases to review than I can use with my family, I am going to give away 2 packages (a total of 4 pillow cases) to one reader.
