Trtl Pillow - Scientifically Proven Neck Support Travel Pillow for Airplanes - Lightweight and Machine Washable - Ergonomic Design for Traveling on Cars and Trains - Black

I have never, and I mean NEVER been able to sleep on planes. Traditional neck pillows always just left me with either a dropped head or a super sore neck or both. Bought this for a trip to Sicily from NYC (9 hour flights) and it was the best! Comfortable, easy to get on and set up and most importantly, I slept! Now did I sleep the whole flight? No, but I slept for two chunks of 3 hours which is 6 hours of sleep I would not have gotten otherwise. I read a bunch of reviews about it not being for people with short necks and I did not find that to be the case. I have a pretty short neck and it worked perfectly. Once it's on, you can "turn it" so your head doesn't droop forward. Absolute game changer and worth every penny!

this is pretty good. It holds your head up so that you can really sleep on the plane with the seat back all the way up. the only thing is that it starts getting uncomfortable and you have to wrap it around a few times before getting it right and ready to sleep. if you have long hair like I do, that is a bit of a hassle. but otherwise it does what I expected and was pleasantly surprised. it's not perfect but it's what I need for long flights.

I’ve used the Trtl neck pillow on multiple trips now, and it’s easily become one of my favorite travel essentials. I love that it packs down small, so it doesn’t take up much room in my backpack, but still provides great support. No matter what seat I’m in on the plane, it helps me get comfortable enough to actually sleep. The fabric is also incredibly soft, which makes it even easier to relax and fall asleep during long flights. It’s one of those travel items I never leave home without anymore.

I wanted to love the Trtl Travel Pillow. really, I did. The promise of a scientifically engineered, ultra-supportive neck brace (sorry, “pillow”) that would finally allow me to sleep on a plane without waking up feeling like I lost a fight with the overhead bin was too good to pass up. Unfortunately, after several flights of dedicated testing, I can confidently say this: if you enjoy the sensation of being in a very mild, travel-sized guillotine, this is the product for you. The “Support” Dilemma The concept is clever. You wrap it around your neck, lean into the hidden support, and drift off into blissful, ergonomic slumber. The reality? The only way this thing provides any meaningful support is if you cinch it so tightly that you start questioning your blood flow situation. At optimal “support” level, I found myself teetering between “mildly uncomfortable” and “Is this what a giraffe feels like in a turtleneck?” If you loosen it even slightly, it becomes a $60 piece of fabric wrapped around your neck for no reason at all. And if you tighten it enough to actually hold your head up, congratulations! You now have a built-in pulse-checking device because your body will let you know very quickly when your carotid artery has had enough. In-Flight Performance My hope was to finally achieve that elusive, graceful plane nap. Instead, I spent most of my flight adjusting, readjusting, and questioning my life choices as my seat neighbor side-eyed my increasingly desperate attempts to make it work. The “lean and sleep” motion they advertise? More like “lean, start losing feeling in your jaw, panic, readjust, repeat.” The Verdict For those with an iron will, a tolerance for slight oxygen deprivation, and perhaps a slimmer neck than mine, this might work. For the rest of us? Save your money and go back to the classic awkward head-tilt-against-the-window method or invest in a real neck pillow. Or better yet, just accept that air travel is inherently uncomfortable and move on. Final Rating: 2/5 Stars – Points for innovation, deducted for it being a personal tourniquet for the worst possible location

I travel for work 10-12 weeks a year, about a quarter of which is international. Five-star reviews are rare for me. I reserve that rating for near perfect items. 4 stars IMO, is damn good. I have used the Trtl on at least 10 trips / 20+ flights. Travel - 4 stars (Very Good) The Trtl fits extremely well in any travel bag I'd imagine. I use a Timbuk2 Authority as my primary carry-on and the Trtl tucks in very nicely without taking up too much space. This makes it easy to stow your bag under the seat on planes, pillow included. Support - 3 Stars (Good) Support is where I started to have issues with the Trtl. This could be a result of my size and personal comfort preferences as well, so be advised. I am 5'9", 150lbs, and comfortably wear a 14.5 inch neck in dress shirts. I found that I had to wrap the Trtl fairly tight around my neck in order for the support to be effective. If I tried to loosen the wrap for more comfort, the brace would slide down my shoulder - which led me to have to try and "shrug" my shoulders to keep the brace pressed to my face. In this situation, the Trtl is neither supportive or comfortable. This may not be an issue for someone with broader shoulders or a thicker / more muscular build. For me, finding the sweet spot between feeling like I was in "traction" and "resting" on a pillow was difficult. Comfort - 2 Stars (Disappointing) FIRST ISSUE The struggles with support contribute to my rating for comfort. In achieving the "good" support, the Trtl became uncomfortable for me. Imagine pulling a turtle neck up high to the bottom of your ears and covering your chin. If you have no problem with that for however many hours you want to rest on the pillow - this shouldn't bother you. For me, this quickly led to me feeling hot / stuffy / and restricted. The material breathes well enough, but airplanes are stuffy and poorly vented in my experiences, which made using the Trtl feel like sleeping in bed with the covers pulled up over your face. SECOND ISSUE Using the Trtl while sitting tightly packed in economy wasn't fun. I'm a small guy, and the act of having to extend and wrap the Trtl around my neck, velcro it properly, and adjust it made me brush up against my fellow passengers. I found myself trying to couch over in my seat to put this on if I had people sitting next to me on a plane. No one next to you, no problem. Flying business or first class, no problem - though the pillows there are way better than the Trtl. Don't forget your own pillow case. THIRD ISSUE I like to wear wireless earbuds (Jabra Elite 65t). The Trtl interferes with the seating of the wireless earbud in my ear, either pressing it or tugging it out. This can happen with traditional travel pillows as well, but with those designs, you can push the pillow in slightly different positions to avoid this. I didn't have the same issue with over the ear headphones, but using them is not my preference. If you use Apple earbuds, this could be an issue. Overall - a good product, well built, and easy to travel with. Ultimately wasn't a good fit for me and my specific use case, but your mileage may vary. I hope this helps!

Had a trial run last weekend. Worked very well. The fabric is soft and was able to wrap it over my lower face. For those who fall asleep with their mouth open, this is a nice addition. The frame held my head up and prevented a neck ache. Would highly recommend.

2 stars because of the price. But other than that I can truly say I have never ever been able to sleep on a plane until I swallowed the ridiculous price and tried it: it worked 100% for me. For the first time ever (in 35yrs!!) I slept for about 3 hours on my transatlantic flight home and I also did not have the usual terrible neck cramp so this greatly reduced my jet lag! It is very adjustable (although takes some time to master), soft and worked well for me. Is it worth the price though? I think it's hugely overpriced for what it is: a shawl with plastic and some Velcro. I know there are some "alternatives" and I might just try one just to compare. Anyway: your mileage might vary!

I absolutely love my trtl Pillow. It’s super soft, durable, and provides real neck support — not just fluff like traditional U-shaped travel pillows. What makes this different is the structured internal support. It actually holds your head in place so you’re not bobbing forward while sleeping. I tend to fall forward or to the side on planes, and this keeps my neck supported. I can lean to one side and it holds my head comfortably without strain. Another unexpected bonus — it covers part of my mouth, which I actually love because I’m an open-mouth sleeper 😬. It makes me feel a little more comfortable and less exposed while sleeping on flights. The color is true to the photo. What I Like Most: •Excellent neck support — prevents forward head drop •Super soft exterior but structured inside •Durable material •Lightweight and easy to pack •Great for side leaners If you’ve struggled with regular travel pillows not doing anything, this is a huge upgrade. It’s supportive without being bulky and actually makes sleeping upright possible. Bottom line: Durable, soft, and genuinely effective. One of my favorite travel essentials.

Excelente y practica La recomiendo

Finally...a neck support that's comfortable & not bulky for travel.

Sostiene muy bien la cabeza durante viajes largos para dormir muy cómodamente. Súper recomendable. Incluso, perdí el primero que compré e inmediatamente compré otro.

Good quality but little expensive But I think it was still a little difficult to sleep with it

The Trtl Travel Pillow proved to be a game-changer for me on my recent trip. It provided exceptional comfort and kept my neck in an upright position throughout the journey, preventing any chances of a stiff neck. Its innovative design truly delivers on its promise of comfort and support. I am grateful for such a fantastic product and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable travel pillow. Thank you to the inventors of the Trtl Travel Pillow for creating such a fantastic solution for travelers everywhere.
