Abstract
Abstract A travel pillow has a first pneumatic pillow base or enclosure adapted to fit within a pillowcase. The pillowcase has an invertable pocket formed in one wall thereof with a slide fastener closing the opening in the wall. The invertable pocket is such as to allow the pillowcase to be stuffed therein and the deflated pneumatic enclosure to be folded and stowed within the so-formed envelope. The slide fastener can then be closed containing both the pneumatic enclosure and the pillowcase.
