 It does not matter whether you are travelling
for business, leisure or in your own bed at home, a good night’s
sleep helps us all to lead healthier, happier and more productive
lives.

As such, the ability to eliminate or at the very
least reduce distracting and often annoying noises around us is
invaluable.

Whether it is a snoring partner, noisy neighbours,
traffic or some other distraction, being able to tune those sounds
out allows us to fall into, and remain in, a deep, restorative
sleep so much easier.

Sleeping with the latest noise cancelling
headphones is not really a viable option especially if you sleep
on your side, and the roll, insert, hold foam ear plugs that many
airlines provide to their First and Business Class passengers in
their amenity kits not only cheapens the overall experience, but
they can only be used a few times at most and are unreliable to
say the least.

That’s where Supceat’s ear plugs come in. Made of
soft silicone, the ear plugs fit snugly into the ear without
protruding at all, enabling users to sleep on their side without
any discomfort.

They are washable, available in a variety of colours and, as of press time, can be purchased in a set of two
with one pair slightly larger than the other.

They also come with
a small case which is handy if you travel and helps to make sure
you do not lose them.

According to Supceat’s documentation, they reduce
noise by up to -25 decibels so not only are they ideal for
sleeping, but can also be used in noisy work environments or
anywhere else you would like some peace and quiet.

It would not take too much imagination to see
airlines adding these, or similar, to their in-flight amenity
kits, and even certain hotels offering them to guests. It would
certainly be an upgrade and a more sustainable option than the
foam ones currently being offered.

This is the first review in a new series of short
videos that Travel News Asia is doing about products that we buy
to help either improve the travel experience, life in general, or
both! We do hope that you find them useful.

Disclaimer: This is not in any way a paid review
or advertorial, the ear plugs were purchased directly from
Amazon.
