When you pick up the mesh bag in which the neck cushion is packed for the first time, you immediately notice its compactness and small size.
The mesh bag has a high-quality, sturdy appearance and is completely black.
The neck pillow is rolled up and stowed inside. As soon as you take it out of the bag, the memory foam unfolds so that the product can be used immediately.
The first impression of the pillow is very positive – it feels pleasantly soft and it can be assumed that the memory foam moulds well to the shape of the body.
Overall, all the components make a high-quality and very good impression, and the sleep mask has a rather simple universal size design.
