l Travel Pillow grey | space-saving neck pillow for relaxing

Bought it as a gift. They used it for a long haul flight, and were surprised how comfortable it was. Have to admit, it doesn’t feel so comfortable when holding it in your hands, but following the raving review, I think I may purchase one for myself…

Just received.. Out of box looks well made and material is very soft.

I have a small neck and head and it fits great… Thought it might not, but happy it does.
The carry case is very handy, overall size is much more compact than other types of neck supports.. This will definetly help with travelling

Quite happy with my purchase. It holds neck up straight, but you can only lean on one side and scratch does loosen up after a while, so you need to unroll and tighten it up again. I appreciate the size and the fact that it’s quite lean when folded so fits well inside handbag.

I bought one of these after my significant other received one over the Christmas Break. A Trtl aims to keep your neck and head more rigid during long journeys (especially on flights for example) and looks to improve upon traditional neck pillows which give middling levels of support.
My biggest takeaway from using this product is that it will work differently for different neck and shoulder types, with shorter people or those with a narrow shoulder width probably having a more enjoyable experience than those with longer necks and wider shoulders. It does not massively improve upon the existing neck pillows available on the market but does benefit from a small size and light weight, making it easy to carry through a busy airport terminal.
Overall, I’d make only a middling recommendation for this, as mileage will vary from person to person. Still, give it a try, you can always use Amazon’s liberal returns policy if it isn’t right for you!

I bought this pillow for use on two 9 hour + transatlantic flights (London to San Diego with connections, so total flight times were 15hours. I wasn’t convinced it would work for me but I was prepared to pay 25ish for the gamble; I know frequent fliers, so if it didn’t suit me, I was sure I could pass it along.

This pillow is never leaving me! It’s brilliant. The material itself is very comfortable, and you do feel supported. There is a bit of a learning curve to get the right positioning for you, and is quite trial and error. I couldn’t find any position towards the front that worked for me, but quickly got left and right positioning sorted.

Unexpected side benefit I discovered, which I haven’t seen referred to at all. This is brilliant if you are a fatigue sufferer and sometimes have those ‘my head feels too heavy for my neck to support it’ days. I can put it on and work comfortably instead of feeling I have to go back to bed.

The only potential issue/downsides with it I found were:

1) wearing it with my beloved noise cancelling cans was uncomfortable. Not the fault of the designers, they are big! It also was uncomfortable with Virgin Atlantic supplied headphones, so bear that in mind. However, I found it fine with both foam and flight earplugs, and my in ear back ups. (Yes, I’m slightly obsessed with having headphones on me at all times).

2) I am a person that needs to change positions often if I can’t get to sleep. I had a major case of restless legs on the overnight flight, and kept finding I needed to adjust my (attempted) sleeping position. Because of the design of this pillow, this is a bit more hassle than with a standard design travel pillow. Not a flaw, just a reality of the design. Standard travel pillows have never ever worked for me, so I’m prepared to put up with that.

3) possibly a more major issue if I’m not the only one. I noticed a rash on my neck on the opposite side to where the support part was; I’ve put the fabric part in the wash in case it was a treatment issue or something it came into contact with on the plane; alternatively it may be that I’m allergic to the velcro hook and loop type fastener that is used on the product. I really hope not because this is the most perfect travel pillow otherwise. I’ll try and report back on this point.

I wore it on a long haul flight to Dallas and it definitely helped me to get a bit of sleep. I had an aisle seat and nowhere to rest my head and the Trtl travel pillow definitely provided enough support. It’s cosy and warm too. I wrapped it across my mouth because open mouthed and drooling is never a good look and it was still very comfortable. I’d give it five stars except I agree with the other reviewers that it’s a bit overpriced. I was sitting next to a Texan lady with the same pillow, in the same colour, and she’d paid $13 for hers while I’d paid 24. She also said she’d packed it into her suitcase on a short haul flight and the plastic ‘cage’ within the fleece had buckled and snapped. It was still useable but had a loose bit of plastic inside.
