The Ultimate Travel Companion: How Solidea’s Travel Collection Enhances Circulation and Comfort on the Move

Introduction: Why Travel Compression Wear is Essential

For work or leisure, travelling often means long hours sitting in cramped spaces—whether in a plane, train, car, or coach. While exciting, extended periods of inactivity can lead to poor circulation, swelling, and an increased risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

Long-haul flights, in particular, are known to cause fluid retention and discomfort. Research indicates that passengers on flights longer than four hours are more likely to develop blood clots (Lippi & Favaloro, 2020). High-quality graduated compression garments are the key to minimising these risks and maintaining leg health, comfort, and energy levels while travelling.

Solidea’s Travel Collection is designed to provide medically effective compression while ensuring maximum comfort and style. Whether you are a frequent flyer, business traveller, or embark on an adventure, Solidea’s compression socks, tights, and leggings support your circulatory health.

Understanding Travel-Related Circulation Issues

The body’s circulation slows when seated for long periods, particularly in the legs. This can lead to:

🚨 Swollen ankles and feet – Caused by fluid retention and poor venous return.
🚨 Heavy, tired legs – Due to reduced blood flow and lack of movement.
🚨 Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) – A serious condition where blood clots form in deep veins, potentially leading to life-threatening complications.
🚨 Varicose veins and spider veins – Prolonged sitting puts pressure on veins, increasing the risk of chronic venous insufficiency.

Wearing compression garments during travel is a medically recommended way to improve circulation, prevent swelling, and reduce the risk of DVT (World Health Organisation, 2019).

How Solidea’s Travel Collection Supports Circulation on the Move

Solidea’s Travel Collection features graduated compression technology, which means the pressure is most substantial at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. This promotes blood flow back to the heart, reducing swelling and lowering the risk of clot formation.
