I'm the person who always regrets not bringing a pillow, whether I'm sunbathing on the sand or stuck in a middle seat on a red-eye flight. Ballast Outdoor Gear's Pillow Pro promised to solve both problems, so I put it to the test.
This pillow genuinely works in multiple positions — I used it flat under my stomach while sunbathing, propped behind my back while lounging, and wrapped around my neck on a flight home. It held its shape and comfort in all three uses.
It comes in Tropical Blue, Ocean Blue, and Flamingo Pink — I went with Tropical Blue and it held its color well after multiple beach trips without fading or staining from sunscreen.
Pros: genuinely multi-position comfort (sunbathing, lounging, travel neck pillow), backed by a 100% comfy guarantee, three color options, affordable at $36.95.
Cons: as a compact travel pillow, it's not a substitute for a full-size bed pillow if you need heavier support.
This has become my go-to grab-and-go pillow for beach days and travel alike. Simple idea, well executed.
