‘I used to never be able to sleep on airplanes but this is the best travel hack,’ she said while sitting on a plane.
She then showed herself blowing into a hole in the pillow to inflate it.
‘It’s a blow-up airplane pillow but it’s not like the others. It comes with ear plugs and an eye mask so you get the best sleep ever,’ she said.
The 27-year-old then demonstrated how she napped with the pillow.
‘It rests on your lap or the tray in front of you with face and arm holes,’ she said as she buried her face into the headrest.
Courtney sat back up and once again praised the cushion.
‘I never travel without it now,’ she said at the end of the clip.
Her video divided people on the web, with many of them gushing over the pillow and thanking her for the recommendation.
