Why I Created The Wander Pillow®
(Hint: I Was Cold, Cranky, and Over It)
Hi, I’m Betty, a lifelong traveler and former cold-plane-nap victim.
After one too many red-eyes with a scratchy neck pillow and no blanket in sight, I had a “there has to be a better way” moment. Turns out, there wasn’t. So I created it.
The Wander Pillow® was born out of necessity: a travel pillow that’s not just comfortable, but smart. A built-in blanket, a washable cover, and a design that actually fits into your carry-on lifestyle. No more trade-offs between warmth, space, and support.
Now it’s my mission to make sure no one has to suffer through any flight or ride with a crick in their neck and a napkin as a blanket.
Whether you’re a jetsetter, road tripper, or just someone who likes to nap in weird places (no judgment), this pillow’s for you.
Thanks for joining me on the journey.
Betty, The Wander Woman ❤
