trtl Travel and Airplane Pillow - Real Sleeping Experience on Long Flights - Neck and Shoulder Support - Super-Soft, Lightweight, Easy-to-Carry, and Machine-Washable Flight Pillow - Grey

I am sure every experience is different for every traveler, but this is the first travel pillow that has worked for me. I am tall and have constant neck pain, yet this allows me to comfortably rest and even sleep on flights. It does not depend on the back rest extending or not and I found it versatile and easy to travel with. The only word of caution is that it requires wrapping a fleece around your neck (and part of face) which is HOT! For me it was acceptable on flights with good air flow, but I couldn't use it while on the ground before the AC kicks in because of this. Likewise, I couldn't use it on trains because of the heat. I think there is aa lightweight version. I wish I'd found that first and recommend that if you are prone to run hot. It's too expensive to buy a second one though....although I'm really considering it.

Bought this for my travels abroad. This item is so comfortable and easy to use. Very soft material and rolls up nicely. Comes with a travel bag that clips right to your back pack. A bit pricey, but when your using it, you won't be thinking about the cost but rather grateful you bought it.

It works really well from what I can tell. I didn't get to use it on a flight yet because our trip got cancelled, but I tested it at home and it was a good fit for my neck. It might not be for everyone so just try it and then return if it's not right for you. I reached out to customer service to help me with an issue and they were responsive and helped me take care of it. I was very impressed with how customer service handled my problem. It's nice that it can fold flat and you can stick it in your luggage without taking up too much room. Hopefully soon I'll get to travel again and really give it a try for several hours.

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” DilemmaThe 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 PerformanceMy 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 VerdictFor 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 recently tried this travel pillow during a long flight after seeing several recommendations for it. After using it on three flights, each over four hours long, my experience has been mixed. The design is compact and lightweight, making it easy to pack in a carry-on without taking up much space. I liked the soft fleece material—it felt cozy. Once I figured out the right positioning, it gave decent neck support and kept my head upright.That said, it took me a few tries to position it correctly. At first, it felt awkward, and if it wasn’t wrapped tightly enough, the support tended to slip out of place. Over time, I also noticed the pillow pressing uncomfortably against my jaw and chin. What really stood out for me, though, was how hot it made me feel, even on a cold airplane. While I think the design could work well for some people depending on their anatomy, the heat and overall discomfort during long use made it less ideal for me.
