Hi Patrick,

Good question. So, when we initially launched the HTP we had a zipper, which allowed for removal. Unfortunately, there is a firm in China that holds a massive stockpile of patents, with the sole intention of slapping manufacturers with lawsuits in order to benefit financially. As you can probably guess, they had the zipper on a pillow of our shape covered. So, after paying for our mistake, we approached them to partner/purchase the design, but they were only interested if we would pay a number with a few too many zero’s. For the meantime, it should just be wiped clean with a wet towel and hung to dry. Good news is this, we are working on a couple of new styles that are looking great! Stay tuned and Happy Holiday’s!

Keep an eye of Facebook for some great specials for the Holiday’s.

I ordered one of the pillows on Derek’s advice and have been thrilled with it. I have used it inside and have not overheated at all. One of my favorite features is the ability to adjust the fit of the pillow itself; it stays in place but doesn’t feel constricting. Keep the great products comin’

Thanks for the insights, Jon! I love the “other uses” tips.

The hood does a great job as an eye shield — it is generously cut so when the cord is cinched, it can tuck perfectly around my eyes, leaving my nose and mouth vented. Yeah, it isn’t that warm as an insulator, but it is perfect for what it was designed for.

Thanks for making a great product and for the chance to review it!

**I had NO IDEA that memory foam was susceptable to cold temperatures either, until one cold morning, then i decided i could use it to defend myself from anything that crossed my path, like a bear, or an unruly traveler at the airport! After doing some research i learned that memory foam will indeed harden with really cold temps, but like Derek said, will relax when warmed back up.

**Other uses: Can be used for side sleeping whether it’s around your neck, or not. Works really well on long flights/car/train rides to sit on for padding, or lumbar support if your back is bothering you.

**The HOOD: The hood is mainly used to block out light, the initial thinking was for early morning flights when you absolutely need sleep and your favorite person in 7F won’t shut their blind! What is it with people working on flights at such early times?! 🙂 Can’t you just go to sleep like the rest of us!

Very happy that you like the pillow and i hope it comes in as handy for you on your travels as it has for me!

Keep on Trunkin’

I’ve used the pillow indoors a few times and was comfortable.
