What is it?
A head-stabilising sling that straps onto any airline headrest and holds your head where it should be while you sleep, with a contoured blackout mask that fastens straight onto the strap. Two pieces, one job: upright sleep that actually lasts.
How does it attach?
Loop the two adjustable straps around the top and bottom of the headrest and click the buckles shut. No tools, no modification to the seat, and it comes off in one pull when the crew asks.
Will it fit my airline seat?
It fits any standard headrest with a gap behind it, which covers the large majority of commercial aircraft. The straps adjust from 20 to 36 cm wide and work in economy, premium economy and most business class seats.

A different approach to upright sleep
Why ordinary travel pillows still leave you uncomfortable
Traditional pillows add bulk around your neck and still let your head fall forward. Noema supports your head against the seat while keeping your neck and personal space free.
Ordinary pillows

Bulky and awkward
Keeps your seat space clear
Tight around the neck
No pressure around your throat
Head still drops forward
Head and spine stay aligned
Instead of squeezing your neck, Noema anchors to the headrest and keeps your head comfortably supported against the seat.

Travellers who'll never go back to neck pillows
I fly every week for work and always landed with a stiff neck. This fixed it. Thirty seconds to set up, and the blackout mask is the best I've used.
Mike — weekly business travel
I have a short neck, so no pillow has ever worked for me. My head drops forward the second I doze off. This holds it. Slept five hours in a middle seat.
Amy — 13 h to Bangkok
Bought it on a whim before a red-eye. Strapped it on, clipped the mask, out cold for six hours. First time I've properly slept on a plane.
William — 14 h to Tokyo
My partner and I both took one to France. I usually can't sleep in economy at all — landed with zero neck pain. Wish we'd found it years ago.
Luna — 9 h to Paris

Will it fit my airline seat?
It fits any standard headrest with a gap behind it, which covers the large majority of commercial aircraft. The straps adjust from 20 to 36 cm wide and work in economy, premium economy and most business class seats.
Will flight attendants let me use it?
It doesn't modify the seat — it loops around the headrest with removable buckles. You may be asked to take it off for take-off and landing, exactly like a neck pillow. Once you're at cruising altitude, strap it back on.
Does it look ridiculous?
It looks like a padded headrest strap with a sleep mask. Is it fashion? No. But we've yet to meet someone who regretted it at 3am on a long-haul while everyone around them stared at a seat-back screen.
Will it make my neck stiff?
Leave a little slack in the straps so your head rests at a slight natural angle instead of being held bolt upright. That slack keeps the neck aligned without tension — it's the single thing that separates people who love it from people who set it too tight.
How does the eye mask attach?
Through strong velcro panels on the sling strap. The contoured foam blocks cabin light while leaving room for your eyes, and the strap adjusts to any head size. You can also detach it entirely and use it as a standalone sleep mask.
Is it bulky to pack?
No. The whole system rolls flat, zips into its own case and weighs 187 g — roughly a paperback. It takes a fraction of the space of a U-shaped neck pillow and clips to a bag strap if you'd rather not put it inside.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Thirty nights to decide, money back, no questions asked. If it doesn't fit your seat or simply isn't for you, send it back and we refund in full — and we cover return shipping if it's a fit issue.
