Solve the Problem of Fighting Over Armrests on Planes

The cutthroat competition for ownership of both the armrests on a flight can soar so high that, at times, push can literally come to shove.
It's something we all deal with that we would rather not, to be honest.
When Mona Dehshid was unable to find a way to help her win the armrest war, she decided to create a product that could give everyone the use of both armrests.
Well, kind of.
“I had to travel intentionally every month. I found it awkward to share an armrest with someone I have no idea about and to get that close to them or even fight for the armrest.
“That is how Napwrap was born.”
The product wraps around your arms, when crossed over each other, to form a “cocoon”. It locks them in place by hooking around the upper arm on one side, and twists around to support the hand of the other arm below.
“Napwrap supports your arms comfortably so you can relax and sleep with out having to worry about fighting for an armrest or sharing it with someone you don’t know,” she said. “For convenience it wraps around the arm when not using it as an armrest to hold phone or a music player. It can also be used as an eye mask and earmuff combo when armrest is not an issue. It is very light weight.”
It’s being sold for $US20 on the SittingBridge website.


Not exactly the coolest looking thing though eh...
