What is it?
A head-stabilising sling that straps onto any airline headrest and keeps your skull locked in position while you sleep. It comes with a blackout eye mask that velcros directly onto the strap.
No neck pillow bulk, no bobbing awake every 10 minutes — just deep, upright sleep from takeoff to landing.
How does it attach?
- Wrap the adjustable straps around the airplane headrest.
- Secure the clips and adjust the tension.
- Position the padded section across your forehead or eyes.
- Lean back and let the seat support your head.
Setup typically takes less than 30 seconds and requires no tools or permanent changes to the seat.
Will it fit my airline seat?
Avernair fits airline seats with a compatible headrest.
Check that your seat has a headrest the adjustable straps can wrap around.

Why ordinary travel pillows still leave you uncomfortable
Traditional pillows add bulk around your neck but can still let your head fall forward. Avernair supports your head against the seat while keeping your neck and personal space free.
Ordinary Pillows
AVERNAIR
Sleep System
Instead of squeezing your neck, Avernair anchors to the headrest and helps keep your head comfortably supported against the seat.

Travelers who'll never go back to neck pillows
I fly every week for work and was always stuck with a stiff neck the next morning. This thing completely fixed that. Set it up in 30 seconds, and the blackout mask is the best I've ever used. 10/10.
I have a short neck so no pillow has ever worked for me. My head always drops forward the second I doze off. This keeps it locked in place perfectly. Slept 5 hours on a middle seat — never thought I'd say that.
Got this on a whim before a red-eye home. Strapped it on, clipped the eye mask, and I was out cold for 6 hours straight. First time I've ever properly slept on a plane. Absolute lifesaver.
My husband and I both got one for our trip to France. Usually I can't sleep at all in economy — with this, I slept the entire way there and landed with zero neck pain. Wish we'd found this years ago.

FAQ
Everything you need to know before your next flight
Will it fit my airline seat?
Avernair is designed for standard airline headrests with enough space behind them for the straps. The adjustable straps fit headrests from 8 to 14 inches wide. Check the shape and width of your seat’s headrest before your flight.
Will flight attendants let me use it?
The system attaches with removable buckles. Ask the cabin crew if you can use it and follow their instructions, including when to remove it for takeoff or landing.
Does it look ridiculous?
It looks like a padded headrest strap with a sleep mask. The photos above show how it looks when worn in an airplane seat.
Will it make my neck stiff?
Leave a little slack in the straps so your head can rest at a comfortable, natural angle. If the fit feels tight or uncomfortable, loosen the straps or remove the system.
How does the eye mask attach?
The eye mask attaches to the sling strap with adjustable hook-and-loop panels. The padded shape helps block cabin light while leaving room around your eyes. You can also detach it and use it as a standalone sleep mask.
Is it bulky to pack?
The system folds flat and zips into its built-in case. It fits in a carry-on, backpack, or large purse.
