It's called the Flight Cradle and creates a comfy refuge for leaning forward and sleeping. Thanks for your consideration! | http://www.ingenuityexpo.com/, scroll down to Flight Cradle. anonymous Post Count: 4 Msg: #2 140 days ago, May 25th 2008 | Hello Tom :) | It looks like a comfortable way to sleep, but I am not sure those tables on the planes are strong enough to lean that much weight on.

People lean on the tables all the time and the Flight Cradle concentrates the weight towards the back of the table where there is better support. It clips on the front edge so when you lean towards it, you are applying upward pressure to the front edge as well as downward pressure. | You can probably tell I am biased!

What does it weigh and does it fold up small for packing? Mel sk8sonh2o Tom Goddu Post Count: 4 Msg: #5 138 days ago, May 26th 2008 | Folds approx 11x 7 x2" , less than a pound, and probably will be in sizes small to extra tall with a bit of adjustment in each size. | Mell Mel Fla Post Count: 4107 Msg: #6 138 days ago, May 27th 2008 | Sounds good. Gets my vote. | It would be really great if the actual airlines supply those for the passangers like they do with headphones and blankets.... Would it also be good for sleeping in other places, such as on a table in a cafe. I often find myself in an airport cafe all night because of an early morning flight.

Yes, a disposable or loaner with washable/disposable/recyclable/biodegradable would be a good option. Airline budgets are so tight they might want to sell these on board, just have to be light and small enough. The profit from one of these is a lot more than the profit from a can of beer, and the beer weighs more. | Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 7 | |||||||||||||||
