“I got the idea for TruRest from a miserable flight I took from Singapore to NYC. We were seated on the plane for 32 hours due to a problem with the hydraulics.”

Comfort and quality rest are often elusive for airplane passengers. If sleep is achieved, it’s typically light and ineffective which is why flyers often arrive at their destinations exhausted and in pain. Travelers can address this pain point and finally achieve true rest, with TruRest.
Launching today, TruRest is a patented, ergonomically designed, compact, portable and highly adjustable rest aid that dramatically improves travel comfort. TruRest fully supports the user’s body (both chest/torso and head) in the forward leaning position, eliminating muscle tension and discomfort caused by sitting upright, and facilitating deep, quality rest and relaxation–even REM sleep. Hypnap consulted medical professionals, examined medical research and conducted extensive testing while developing TruRest. They discovered that resting in the forward leaning position facilitates deeper, easier breathing which promotes the relaxation response. Using TruRest can also potentially relieve neck and back pain.
More people are flying than ever before. According to The U.S. Travel Association, travel spending is at its highest since the COVID-19 pandemic. Air travel is also becoming increasingly uncomfortable due to reduced legroom, smaller seats and thinner cushions. Additionally, economy and most business class airplane seats only recline four or five inches, providing little relief. As a result, people are investing in more travel accessories to make their experience more enjoyable. TruRest’s innovative design can be secured to a tray table and features a cushioned face plate and chest support that are highly adjustable to accommodate people of different heights, shapes and sizes.
“I got the idea for TruRest from a miserable flight I took from Singapore to NYC. We were seated on the plane for 32 hours due to a problem with the hydraulics. I have a design background so I sketched ideas and built prototypes.” said CEO Chloe Hill.
Hypnap COO, Darryl Yang, is a former computer programmer and frequent business traveler. “I wish I would have had something like this on my flights. That’s why I joined forces with Chloe to launch TruRest,” said Yang.
TruRest is TSA-approved and folds up into the footprint of an iPad, so it can easily fit into a carry-on, such as a purse or backpack. To preorder, visit pr.go2.fund/trurest.
