SkyRest Tests

SkyRest Convalescing Dog Test

Sure, we know that healthy dogs love the SkyRest Travel Pillow. But what about dogs who are getting over illnesses and injuries? Those are the dogs that are most in need of rest and comfort. Take Heath, for example. He irritated his prepuce and needs to avoid licking the area so that the medications and time can work their magic. He’s been uncomfortable for days in his Elizabethan collar. No dog needs a nap more than Heath.

How’d the SkyRest handle this coned canine? You’d think that collar was a halo the way he slept like an angel.

SkyRest Sauna Test

Unlike other activities, sauna’s are enjoyable wet or dry. But all that heat sure can leave you feeling lightheaded, weak and reading to pass out. Give in to that relaxed feeling (but not the dehydration – that’s dangerous) and take a nap while you sweat out last night’s whiskey, nachos and regret.

How’d the SkyRest handle the heat? Falling asleep was no sweat!

SkyRest Bathtub Test

A long, hot soak after a taxing day can soothe sore muscles and minimize stress levels. But all that steam and hot water can start to make you pretty lethargic. Why not keep your head above water and let Calgon take you away…to dreamland?

How’d the SkyRest handle all that rub-a-dub-dub? I had three dreams in that tub.

SkyRest Office Test

Working in an office is not as glamorous as they make it out to be on Mad Men. There is significantly less smoking, carousing and (permitted) drinking. After a while, moving papers from one side of your desk to the other and scouring conference rooms for leftover sandwiches from catered meetings can leave you bored and famished. That’s when it’s time to shut the door, kick back and sneak in a little office nap.

How did the SkyRest handle the rigors of a workday? I slept like it was my job.

SkyRest Unicorn Test

Most unicorns live in the forest and go on quests. But Björn the Unicorn lives in Manhattan. He’s a womanizer, heavy drinker and gallops at epic speeds. With a booming neigh, he makes his presence known to all who dare approach him. This lifestyle, as you might imagine, can wear out even toughest of mythical creatures.

How’d the SkyRest handle this horny encounter? Björn said it wasn’t as good as this but much better than this.

Watch Björn deliver his official statement on the SkyRest.

SkyRest Conversation Test

Listening to your friends drone on and on about the minutia of their lives can get old fast. Frankly, I don’t always pay attention when other people are talking. So, while your friends babble on about their feelings, why not catch up on some much needed (and, to be honest, more entertaining) sleep?

How’d the SkyRest handle all that jibber jabber? I was too busy talking in my sleep to be bothered.

Special thanks to Rachel Kelly and Fancy Fast Food’s Erik Trinidad for boring me to sleep.

SkyRest Cat Test

Cats love shiny things, being aloof and indignantly watching you scoop up their feces. They don’t do much in the way of physical activity, yet they always seem tired. They’ll sleep on the floor, the windowsill and your face.

So, how’d the SkyRest handle this finicky feline? It’s not shiny, it invaded her space and had nothing to do with her feces. In other words, she hated it. And so did her brother.

This may have been the first negative review for the SkyRest, but take it with a grain of salt. I mean, are you going to believe a couple of cats over one much cooler dog?

Special thanks to Gwen and Peter for tolerating me tormenting them with a pillow that they clearly hated with great feline fervor.

SkyRest Long Island Railroad Test

The LIRR sucks. A lot. Take a nap and pretend that you’re anywhere else. Seriously. It’s that bad.

How’d the SkyRest handle commuter hell? My sleep was heavenly.

SkyRest Shower Test

ShowerTest

Whether you’re groggy when you wake up in the morning or exhausted at the end of the day, standing in the shower can be such a chore. But falling asleep in the shower can result in head injuries, broken teeth and, most worrisome, neck cramps. Best to shower sleep safely.

How’d the SkyRest handle such good hygiene? My dreams weren’t the only things that were wet.

SkyRest Bar Test

SkyRestBarTest

A night of drinking, dancing and carousing will eventually catch up with you. Rather than force more liquor down your gullet, head off tomorrow’s headache by taking a nap before considering that flaming shot.

How’d the SkyRest handle these intoxicating conditions? That sixty-minute nap was a happy hour.
