Summary: Tired of your head dropping forward, waking up every twenty minutes, and landing with a neck that aches for days?

The MyCore SleepLock fixes the one thing every other travel pillow ignores. It straps to the headrest and holds your head against the seat, so it physically cannot drop forward, while a built-in blackout mask and cushioned side panels take care of the light and the noise.

No wonder travelers say it is the first thing that ever let them sleep the whole way.
1

It Actually Stops Your Head From Dropping Forward

MyCore SleepLock MyCore SleepLock

Let's be honest about those U-shaped pillows everyone swears by. They do almost nothing.

They prop up the back of your neck and then leave your head completely on its own. So the second you drift off, your head still tips forward, your chin lands on your chest, and you jolt awake with that same ache creeping into your neck. Fifteen minutes later, it happens again. And again. All journey long.

The same goes for the fleece wraps, the padded scarves, and every other thing that bundles around your throat. They cushion the problem. They never solve it.

Here is the MyCore difference: it does not wrap your neck at all. It straps directly to the headrest behind you and holds your head gently back against the seat, so it physically cannot fall forward.

That one change is the whole thing. Your head stays exactly where it should. Your neck stays relaxed instead of straining. And you stop waking yourself up every few minutes, because there is nothing left to wake you.

It Takes Less Than a Minute to Set Up

Quick setup

There is nothing to figure out, nothing to inflate, nothing to adjust for ten minutes while the person next to you watches.

You simply loop the two straps around the back of your own headrest cushion, tighten them until it feels right, settle your head back, and pull the mask down. That is it. Under 60 seconds and you are ready to sleep.

And you do not have to worry about bothering the person sitting behind you. The straps secure around your own headrest cushion, not around the back of their seat space, so everything stays contained to your seat.

It fits almost any seat, too. The straps are fully adjustable, so whether the headrest is wide, narrow, tall, or short, MyCore secures the same way.

Total Darkness, Without Anything Pressing on Your Eyes

Blackout mask

Here is the complaint you hear about almost every sleep mask on the market: it presses. Right on your eyes, or across your forehead. An hour in you have a headache, and when you take it off there are marks on your face.

And the free ones they hand out are worse. Thin strips of fabric that let light leak in around your nose, so the cabin glow bleeds through your eyelids the entire time.

MyCore has a properly padded blackout mask built right in. It is contoured to sit soft against your face, blocking out the light completely without ever pressing on your eyes. No headache. No marks. No glow sneaking through.

Just complete darkness the second you want it, and you can flip it up in a moment if you need to.

Designed to Keep You Cool & Comfortable

Cool and comfortable

You know the feeling. Two hours in, and whatever is wrapped around your neck feels warm, damp, and uncomfortable. You start shifting around, adjusting it, and eventually just want it off.

MyCore uses soft, breathable padding designed to stay comfortable against your skin for hours. Whether it is a packed summer flight or a long overnight journey, you can settle in without feeling hot and sticky.

And because it is contoured to cushion your head, it feels less like fighting against the seat and more like settling into your own pillow at home.

5

It Folds Down to About the Size of a Phone

Folds to phone size

Most travel pillows have the same problem: they are enormous. They swallow half your carry-on, or you end up clipping one to your bag and wearing it through the airport like a neck brace.

MyCore folds down to roughly the size of a phone and slips into its own carry bag, which is included free with every order.

It disappears into your bag until you need it. No bulk, no dangling it off your luggage, no deciding what to leave at home to make room for it.

Do not let the size fool you either. Unfolded, it does more than pillows three times its size, because it is solving the actual problem instead of adding padding.

6

Any Seat With a Headrest Becomes Your Bed

This is the part most people do not expect.

Because MyCore works off the headrest rather than your neck, it works on almost anything you sit in. Long-haul flights, obviously. But also the overnight train, the back of the car on a road trip, the coach on a long bus ride, the ferry crossing.

Anywhere there is a headrest, there is real sleep waiting.

And you buy it once. No refills, nothing to replace, nothing to run out. One purchase that upgrades every journey you take for years, which is about as close to a first class experience as you can get without paying thousands for the seat.

Thousands of Travelers Can't Be Wrong (And They Keep Buying More)

Loved by travelers

This is not some travel gadget that gets used once and forgotten in a drawer.

Travelers everywhere now pack the MyCore SleepLock, and the same patterns keep showing up in the reviews:

People who had genuinely given up on sleeping upright, who had written themselves off as bad travelers, are now sleeping through entire long-haul journeys.

Frequent flyers who cannot afford to land wrecked before a full day of meetings say it is the first thing that ever actually worked.

Parents buy one for a child heading off to university, then order another for themselves a week later.

And plenty of people end up buying two or three at a time as gifts, because they cannot stop telling everyone about it.

The reviews say it better than we can: "I'd tried every neck pillow out there and had honestly given up. Then I slept six hours straight on an overnight flight without waking up once."

And if it somehow does not work for you, there is a 60-night risk-free guarantee. Take it on a few journeys. If you are not completely sold, send it back for a full refund. No questions asked.

60-Day Risk-Free Guarantee

Try it on multiple trips. If you're not completely in love, send it back for a full refund. No questions asked.

"Used it on a 9-hour flight and my head finally stopped falling forward. I actually slept the whole way and walked off feeling human. Packs down smaller than my old neck pillow too. Best travel purchase I've made."

"I used to land with a neck so stiff I could barely turn my head for the rest of the day. This holds everything in place so gently that I wake up with zero pain, every time. I can't believe something this simple finally fixed a problem I've dealt with for years. I've bought two more as gifts."

"I'd tried every neck pillow out there and had honestly given up on ever sleeping while traveling. I assumed this would be more of the same, so I was completely skeptical. Then I slept six hours straight on an overnight flight without waking up once. I'm a total believer now, and I've already told half my family about it."
