Taking your pillow on holiday

Taking Your Luff Pillow on Holiday Could Be the Secret to Better Sleep

Packing for a holiday usually means making room for clothes, toiletries and travel essentials, but there's one item that could make a bigger difference than you think – your pillow.
Whether you're staying in a hotel, holiday cottage or visiting family, taking your own pillow can help you enjoy a more restful night's sleep. Hotel pillows often vary in firmness, height and support. And what feels comfortable to one person may not suit another. By bringing your own pillow, you can enjoy the same comfort and support you're used to at home, helping you fall asleep more easily and wake up feeling more refreshed.

Your pillow can also help maintain your usual sleep routine. Sleeping in an unfamiliar environment can sometimes make it harder to drift off, but having something familiar can provide a sense of comfort and help you relax. And if you use a Luff pillow specifically designed for neck support, cooling properties or allergy protection, taking it with you can also help prevent aches, discomfort or disrupted sleep while you're away.

Travelling with your pillow doesn't have to be difficult. Many pillows can be compressed into vacuum storage bags to save valuable suitcase space and it's worth checking your airline's baggage allowance before you travel if you're flying. Packing a clean pillowcase or pillow protector is another simple way to keep your pillow fresh throughout your trip, and using a distinctive pillowcase makes it much less likely you'll leave it behind when it's time to come home.

Top tips for travelling with your pillow

• Use a vacuum storage bag to reduce the amount of space your pillow takes up.
• Pack a spare pillowcase or protector to keep it clean.
• Check your airline's luggage policy before you pack.
• Choose a brightly coloured or patterned pillowcase so it's easy to identify.

At Luff, nothing matters more to us than your sleep and a good night's sleep is one of the best ways to make the most of your holiday. By taking your favourite pillow with you, you'll be giving yourself the best chance of sleeping well, waking up refreshed and enjoying every moment of your trip.

After all, holidays are for relaxing and great sleep is an important part of that.
