The Head Hammock Origin

Ahhh… The Story of how it all came to be.

It might look simple but that wasn’t the case. The Head Hammock came to me while traveling for work on a flight to California several years ago. I do a lot of traveling; for work and for pleasure. During these flights, I found myself getting cramps in my stomach on every flight I took. I noticed if I leaned forward my back didn’t hurt as much and it eased the cramping. Mind you, at the same time, airlines were beginning to offer entertainment on personal devices. This, paired with noticing all my fellow passengers sleeping and relaxing with their hands and faces on their tray tables, made the little light above my seat turn on (not literally, but I had an idea).

I was wearing a hoodie at the time and tucked my hands in the sleeves to hold up my head. It was pretty comfy, but not comfy enough to last very long. So, I thought… it sure would be nice to have something I can put my hands in that holds me forward in this position instead of sliding off my arms. This would also help me avoid putting my dirty hands on my face even though I washed them right before I boarded the plane. I thought nothing more of it until I really started noticing other individuals on my flights that were struggling to get comfortable while taking a nap, or even watching or reading some type of entertainment. I began doing some research – experimenting with old shirts a friend of mine sewed up into something that could possibly work. I even bought various materials at sporting good stores to test their comfort.
