Abstract
A travel pillow system includes an outer sleeve with a first end reversibly connectable to a second end. The outer sleeve may be stuffed or filled with a blanket to form an infinity scarf or neck pillow that may be used in a variety of configurations to support the neck, head, back, shoulders, etc., and also be used as a light-blocking pillow. The sleeve may be provided with a pocket for holding items such as ID cards, keys, credit cards, and other travel essentials. A pillowcase may also be provided and the blanket may be removed from the outer sleeve and used to fill the pillowcase. The blanket may also be secured around a user and include pockets for a user's hands.
