The Silly-Looking Trtl Travel Pillow Is the Only Way I Can Sleep on Flights
By Elissa Sanci
Elissa Sanci is a writer on the discovery team. She has found that clear ice makes carbonated drinks taste better, and citronella candles don’t work.
I will almost always choose function over fashion, even if that means looking like a total dork in public. I’ve sported a fanny pack since before it was cool, I frequently don my unflattering but extremely protective sun hat on hikes, and I have no qualms using my funny-looking wearable reading light on public transportation.
But the Trtl Pillow , a goofy travel pillow that looks and acts more like a neck brace, was where I drew the line. A long-standing pick in our guide to the best travel pillows , the Trtl Pillow is essentially a fleece scarf with a plastic insert on one side that keeps your neck stable as you doze on flights.
I had a hunch that this pick, loved by side-sleepers like myself, would lull me to sleep in a way that traditional neck pillows never could—but I didn’t think I would ever be tired enough to willingly strap on what looks like a padded neck brace in public.
Spoiler alert: I tried it after snagging a lightning deal on Prime Day. I slept so well that day on my cross-country flight that I woke up at my destination well rested—and kicking myself for being embarrassed by one of the single greatest pieces of travel gear I’ve ever owned.
Trtl Pillow
A pillow for one-sided neck support only.
It’s a fleece scarf with a built-in plastic brace—like a one-sided neck brace but softer and cozier. However, it’s not so great if you tend to shift position while you sleep, and it costs more than the other pillows we recommend.
Buying Options
The perfect pillow for people who can’t sleep on planes.
Though the Trtl is technically a pillow, I like to think of it more as a padded pedestal to rest your head against as you sleep, held in place by a fleece scarf that wraps around your neck and closes with Velcro.
The bendy, plastic brace offers the perfect amount of neck support for people (like me) who find it easiest to sleep upright by nodding their head to the side. I’d never had luck falling asleep with traditional neck pillows looped around my neck, which made me feel claustrophobic. But the Trtl Pillow’s soft fleece scarf has enough give that I find it comfortably supportive rather than constricting, and I appreciate that it keeps my head firmly in place so I don’t wake up with a crick in my neck. You can wear the Trtl Pillow on either side of your head—though you’ll need to take it off, flip it, and rewrap it if you want to switch midflight—and I’ve found it comfortable to use even when I get stuck in the dreaded middle seat.
This little pillow is ideal for an overpacker like me who rarely has space to spare in my carry-on. Because it folds down into a little bundle that lies almost completely flat, I can slip it between my laptop and the back of my backpack, where it takes up less space than a hardcover book. The Trtl Pillow is also small enough to fit into briefcases, purses, and some fanny packs, so it’s ideal for folks who don’t normally travel with backpacks. At only 5 ounces, the Trtl Pillow doesn’t add any noticeable weight to a bag.
And because airplanes are notoriously nasty, the Trtl Pillow is also machine-washable. Once you’re home, simply slip the plastic brace from the scarf before tossing it into the wash.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
My biggest gripe with the Trtl Pillow is that I can’t wear my over-ear noise-cancelling headphones while using it. Understandable, considering that my ear is pressed against the plastic ledge and couldn’t possibly accommodate a padded earcup, but annoying nonetheless. To block out plane noises while I nap, I use my Loop earplugs instead, which nestle in my ear and don’t interfere with the pillow when I nod off.
Since I’m almost always cold on planes, I love cozying up to the Trtl Pillow’s warm fleece scarf—but if you run hot, this pillow is probably not for you. It also doesn’t work well for people who nod forward or move their head from side to side while they sleep.
The Trtl Pillow is the priciest travel pillow we recommend. Our top pick, a more traditional travel pillow, costs $40. The price of the Trtl Pillow has risen significantly since I made my purchase last summer; it was originally $40 (before my Prime Day deal, which cut the price in half), whereas now the price sits around $60. I’ve had such success with the Trtl Pillow that I’d willingly pay full price for it even now, but it’s worth keeping an eye out for potential deals.
And, of course, the Trtl Pillow makes you look extremely silly—so silly that you, like me, may be hesitant to use it in public. But now that I’ve actually used it consistently for the past year and a half, I can say that it’s worth any side-eye you may catch from a seatmate. Before I tried the Trtl Pillow, I used to dread early-morning flights because I knew that I wouldn’t sleep a wink and that I’d inevitably arrive at my destination irritated and cranky. I’m a much happier traveler now that I know I’ll be able to drift off and rest my weary eyes after take-off, and that is worth looking a little ridiculous.

TRTL Pillow Plus
I have tried it on to see how it felt. Worn it for a little while to get use to it. I will be taking it on my honeymoon to Italy and Greece. All in all I love it!
Great Pillow
Provides great comfort.
I used this on a flight to Tokyo. I slept for about 4 hours straight with it while sitting up. Thumbs up from me! I really like the height adjustment on the pillow plus, because I can change it up if I want to slightly modify my position and I can make it smaller to fit in my bag.
A sturdy travel pillow that doesn't suck

Is this really the best travel pillow you will own? We say yes.

Trtl has released a new adjustable travel pillow in its signature wrap scarf style – we put it through its paces on a 14-hour flight
By Charley Ward
A travel pillow hovers around the top of everyone’s packing list when gearing up for a long haul flight but while ubiquitous, the bean bag styles you’ll find dotted throughout the airport are rarely fit for purpose. Thankfully, plenty of brands nowadays offer superior alternatives – and Trtl especially has made good headway in changing the game for frequent flyers.
More a fleece scarf than a pillow per se, Trtl travel pillows have a curved u-shaped internal support stand that sits under your jaw, over which there’s a memory foam pad to rest your head, secured in place by wrapping the fabric around your neck and connecting the velcro. The original was lauded by most upon launch, but some reviewers were left disappointed when the unique shape didn’t work for them. The brand has listened, however, and released a new adjustable offering that ensures more customised support for people of all heights.
Faced with the prospect of a 14-hour flight on a recent trip to Japan , I was keen to give it a go. To ensure a fair test, I tried the original and adjustable iterations at home the night before my flight. Undeniably, the additional control the newer version gave made a noticeable difference in my comfort level while sat upright – and I'm not even tall, at 5'4". I asked my partner, 6’2”, to try as well, and he also agreed the Plus was more comfortable.
It is a different experience to using a U-shaped neck pillow, and it took a minute to shake off the feeling that I’d trussed myself up in a neck brace; a traditional travel pillow this is not. I’d recommend adjusting it before it’s time to board, as it took a bit of fiddling to get it just right. Flying for so long is tedious enough without any added irritations.
Nonetheless, once primed, the new Trtl travel pillow was a good addition to my carry-on . It kept me in a much more comfortable position than my regular approach of leaning against the window, ultimately leading to back and neck aches when it was time to disembark. That goes double for those in the aisle and middle seats – it’s undoubtedly a better support system than the seat’s headrest when attempting to nod off upright.
The main bonus is that it prevents your head from jerking forward and waking you up, so it’s a good choice for overnight flights. I took a redeye home and it meant I arrived back in London at 6am having had more sleep than usual on a plane, helping to stave off the jet lag just a little. I felt no neck pain when I landed, either.
Weighing just 225 grams, it won’t eat into your baggage allowance, and the carry bag has a clip to attach to your backpack . It’s easy to sling in the washing machine to clean it; just pop out the plastic insert and you’re good to go.
On the other hand, while the soft fleece fabric is very cosy, some might say that it’s too warm. The brand would do well to release an adjustable version in its cooler iteration as well. I tend to run cold on average, so it wasn’t a huge problem for me, but it means this particular neck pillow might not be ideal for hot sleepers.
Of course, increased functionality means it’s also more expensive than the standard pillow, coming in at £89.99 compared to the former’s £59.99. If price is a consideration, you may find the original version perfectly adequate, which many reviewers already do. But personally, I found the neck support offered with the Plus tangibly improved, and it’s this version I’ll be packing into my hand luggage for my next trip. As for my U-shaped pillow? That will remain at home.
Pros: Machine washable, two-way adjustability, lightweight, does make it easier to nod off in an upright position than u-shaped pillows
Cons: Could be too warm for hot sleepers

This silly-looking pillow is the reason I no longer dread long flights
Friends think I’m blessed. “How lucky,” they say, “for you to be able to fall asleep anywhere.” They forget that I was an insomniac for years — the slightest sound used to wake me, and then I’d stay awake for hours. I spent days on end, bleary-eyed, from just a few hours of sleep . My hours of unconsciousness were precious — which meant that travel (particularly redeye flights) was dreaded. If I couldn’t sleep well in my own bed, I certainly wasn’t going to snooze in transit. I’d inevitably arrive at my destination, craving not adventure, but sleep — until I found this one life-changing travel pillow.
The TRTL travel pillow has officially become my must-pack travel accessory, particularly when journeying long distances. Before boarding a flight or train ride, I make sure it’s in my bag . Because it’s not a typical travel pillow, it doesn’t pose the usual travel pillow woes: no creaky neck, no mid-flight deflation, no taking up room in your suitcase. (Suitcase storage space is sacred — particularly if, like me, you’re a souvenir zealot.)
TRTL Travel Pillow
Travel and Airplane Pillow
Although its price tag may raise some eyebrows, if you’re taking redeye flights and need to wake up refreshed in your destination — you know the price you’d pay for a good night’s sleep.
What is the TRTL Travel Pillow?
The pillow is lightweight, easy to pack, and (best of all) makes it possible to get good rest when you’re far away from your creature comforts. This is probably because it doesn’t look at all like a travel pillow. (If you’ve ever walked past someone on a flight and it seemed their scarf was somehow keeping their head held up, you walked past someone with a TRTL.) It’s a deceptively simple design: one piece of plastic that acts as a cradle for your head, wrapped in what looks like a super soft fleece scarf with foam padding.
In order to don the TRTL, you place the bit with the padded cradle on your preferred side, then wrap the rest of the scarf-like fabric around your neck and secure the velcro to hold everything in place. (The fleece is, by the way, extremely cozy.)
Why I like this product
The pillow is designed to provide “cushioned but firm support, holding your head in a neutral position,” according to its makers. It creates this neutral position for my neck that has made such a difference in allowing me to sleep on the road.
It's adjustable and machine washable
As someone who works on the computer and is a side sleeper, I have made peace with the fact that I’ll live life with some constant, low-simmer shoulder tension. Sleeping with typical travel pillows used to make this worse. If I was able to fall asleep (which was rare), I’d wake about an hour later with a creak in my neck. But because the TRTL is adjustable, it perfectly cradles my head and I feel supported, like my pillow does in my bed. And my shoulders are deeply grateful.
Also, although you can throw your TRTL back in your suitcase at the end of a flight, I prefer to tuck it in my purse or tote — where it takes up seriously little room. It’s lightweight enough that I can genuinely, honestly forget that I’m carrying it.
And because accidents do happen (especially when on the road), the pillow is machine washable . All you need to do is slide out the cradle from the scarf, then throw the scarf into your washing machine. It’s easy to take apart and reassemble, as there are only two parts.
What to consider
But, as with any holy grail product, there are a few things you should take note of before you rush to add this to your cart.
I would highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the TRTL before you travel. The plastic framework is adjustable, meaning it will fit all neck sizes — but you’ll want to find your perfect settings at home . It takes a bit of elbow room to finagle the plastic and your in-flight neighbor likely won’t appreciate a jab across the armrest.
There are other adjustments you can make while on the road. I’ve heard that if you’ve got a longer neck, you’ll want to position the cradle tight before you wrap the scarf around to close it. If you prefer your head to be straight when sleeping, you’ll want the cradle closer to your chest than your shoulder. This might take some time for you to figure out, though.
Also, the TRTL doesn’t solve the other woes of sleeping in transit. If you’re anything like me, you’ll still need to pack earplugs or noise-cancelling earbuds. But if you’re a side sleeper who travels light and needs eight hours every night, the TRTL may just revolutionize the way you travel. Blessings abound!

The 8 best neck pillows for travel.
Avoid a literal pain in the neck with these expert-approved travel pillows.
The Best Neck Pillows for Travel
Courtesy of Cabeau
The Cabeau Evolution S3 Travel Pillow is one of the best neck pillows for travel.
Just like the pillow you use at home , the best neck pillow for travel is the one that makes you feel most comfortable, allowing you to relax, rest and ultimately fall asleep on the go. The difference, however, is that a travel pillow is typically used when sitting up, which means it needs to provide enough support to keep your head from bobbing.
Based on recommendations from travel experts and advice from physicians, these are the best neck pillows for travel.
Best Overall: Cabeau Evolution S3
Best affordable: mvloc travel pillow, best for long flights: trtl travel pillow, best multipurpose: huzi infinity pillow, best inflatable: sunany inflatable travel pillow, best silk: slip jet setter travel pillow, best for backpacking: marchway ultralight inflatable camping pillow, best for kids: bcozzy double support neck pillow.
Frequent travelers praise the design of the Cabeau Evolution S3, which is made of a special dual-density memory foam. "My pillow at home is made with memory foam so it's like bringing a piece of home on my travels," says travel blogger Jasmine Cheng of The Wandering Girl . "The sides are also raised, which prevents my head from moving when I'm sleeping." Travelers also appreciate the patented seat strap system that attaches the pillow to a seat or chair headrest as well as the slim flattened back, both of which prevent the head from bobbing.
A handy storage pouch on the side of the pillow allows you to keep your earbuds or other small items close by, and the pillow comes with a clasp that attaches to carry-on luggage . The removable pillow cover, which comes in a variety of colors, is machine-washable. What's more, this travel pillow can be stored in an included carry bag that condenses it to half its size.

Travelers appreciate the support (and the price tag) of this memory foam travel pillow. An adjustable rope lock allows you to secure the pillow to your neck for maximum support and comfort. The breathable and machine-washable cloth exterior prevents overheating. This travel pillow also comes with earplugs and an eye mask for ultimate relaxation.

The patented design of the Trtl Travel Pillow – with a hidden internal neck support surrounded by soft, hypoallergenic fleece – makes it a favorite among travelers, particularly for long flights. "Something about it just hits right in a travel accessory category where nothing previously worked for me," explains Meaghan Clawsie, luxury travel advisor at Elated Escapes . "I no longer have any back or neck pain when resting on long-haul flights." Simply wrap the pillow around your neck like a scarf, secure it in place with its built-in fastener and rest your head on the support.
If you tend to overheat easily, there's also the Trtl Pillow Cool , made with Tencel fibers to keep you at a comfortable temperature; a mesh panel makes the pillow particularly breathable as well. Both pillows are machine-washable.

If you're not sold on the classic U-shaped neck pillows for travel, consider this snake-like option instead. Able to be twisted into a variety of positions, the versatile Huzi Infinity Pillow provides whatever support feels best – even if that means resting your head on the tray table for a bit. You can also wear it around your neck like a scarf for neck and back comfort (even when you're not snoozing), use it as an eye mask, or drape it over your head if you get cold or want to block out noise.
Travelers love the pillow's bamboo fabric, describing it as soft, smooth and cool. Since it's filled with polyester, the whole pillow can be tossed in the washing machine , unlike its memory foam counterparts. The Infinity Pillow is available in nearly a dozen different colors, including gray, navy and pink.

Travelers love the H-shaped design of this inflatable pillow because it allows for use in multiple directions and supports both sides of the head and neck with a flat back. A removable hood on the pillow is a bonus: It encourages a cozy feel and prevents cold drafts from too much air conditioning. For optimal comfort, it is recommended to inflate the pillow about 80% to 90%.
A pocket for your earbud case on this travel pillow provides convenient access for listening to music, and the removable velour cover is machine-washable. The lightweight inflatable pillow can be stored in the included waterproof drawstring bag, which can also be attached to luggage. This travel neck pillow is available in black, gray and blue.

Travel pillows don't get softer than this luxurious new option by Slip. The Jet Setter Travel Pillow is made with the highest-grade long fiber mulberry silk, which helps to prevent skin creases and bedhead. It also comes with a carrying case with handles. The Jet Setter Travel Pillow is available in three prints and a pretty solid blush color.

While you can often bring your pillow from home for tent camping, backpacking requires something more lightweight, such as this inflatable option by Marchway. "An inflatable pillow is a game-changer when it comes to backpacking, and an ultralight pillow can't be beat," says Leilani Osmundson , digital producer for travel at U.S. News. "The Marchway pillow fits the bill: It's comfortable, packable and extremely lightweight." This pillow is designed for both back and side sleepers, and doubles as a lumbar support for everyday travels and needs. Once it's deflated, you can machine-wash the cover before folding the pillow into an included drawstring bag.

Courtesy of BCOZZY
The BCOZZY neck pillow is ideal for all travelers – including kids, with small sizes for youngsters between 3 and 7 years old, and medium options for ages 8 and 12. Travelers like the ergonomic design of the patented pillow, which supports the head and neck by propping the chin up. Overlapping pillow arms, which wrap around the neck and under the chin, can be tightened based on the level of support you need.
If you or your child is a side sleeper, fold the pillow in half, double up the sides and place it on your shoulder, leaning your head to the side. An elevated side option allows you to overlap the pillow arms on top of each other and rotate it 90 degrees to the side for double support for the neck and chin.
This travel pillow is available in a variety of colors and patterns, including light blue and pink hearts. A snap strap attaches the included travel bag to your child's luggage , and you can throw the pillow in the washing machine after your trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Experts agree a supportive pillow is essential for travel. "The biggest issue many travelers experience when sleeping on a plane is that the seats don't recline enough," explains Dr. Alex Dimitriu, a sleep/wake and performance specialist who is dual board certified in psychiatry and sleep medicine. "This often results in the head being just on the brink of tipping forward – which is not a comfortable sleeping position. Because of this insufficient recline, it is important to keep padding behind the head and neck minimal to reduce the tendency for the head to tip forward."
Most travel pillows are designed to be worn around the neck, providing enough support to prevent the head from tipping forward.
When shopping for a neck pillow for travel, experts recommend considering the following factors:
Proper head support: What's most important is ensuring your head is supported in the right places by your travel pillow – and, in particular, not being pushed forward by excessive padding. "A good pillow would provide support for side sleeping, rather than a lot of padding behind the head, which just pushes the head forward too much," says Dimitriu.
Material: Consider both the external and internal material of the pillow:
External: Chiropractic physician Eric Smith advises to make sure the material of your travel pillow is breathable and won't subject you to an overheated sleep, since one of the main reasons for moving around a lot as you sleep is getting too hot. "When your face gets too hot on one side, even if you're sleeping, you're going to move from it because it's too warm," Smith explains.
There's no real consensus on which material is best for a cool, comfy sleep – and different people will have different preferences – so Smith's advice is to try before you fly (and don't hesitate to request a refund if your chosen pillow isn't working out).
- Internal: Memory foam pillows tend to offer more firm support – something Smith recommends for anyone, but especially older travelers. "The majority of patients I have that get older, we actually need a more firm pillow, we need a more firm bed, we need more support," Smith says. Pillows filled with microbeads mold more to the neck and head, while inflatable pillows can be adjusted to your preferences based on how much air you use to blow them up.
A travel pillow for your neck isn't considered a carry-on or personal item (and the same generally goes for small, loose items like jackets and umbrellas). That said, it's always best to review your airline's carry-on luggage size restrictions before traveling.
A good neck pillow for travel isn't the only key to achieving a decent sleep while in transit. "From the standpoint of evolution, we're kind of hardwired to be a little bit more on high alert in those situations," explains Rebecca Robbins, an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School and scientist at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital. "We're a little bit more in fight or flight mode; our brain is subconsciously scanning the environment for threats and there are new sounds and new smells."
She recommends finding elements that are relaxing to you, which might include some of the following:
- Travel blanket: Look for something lightweight, such as the EverSnug Travel Blanket on Amazon. This blanket comes with a carrying case, which can double as a pillow when the blanket is stored inside.
- Essential or aromatherapy oils: Scents like lavender and peppermint can be especially calming.
- Earplugs: Choose headphones that block some or all external noise. The Bose QuietComfort 45 Wireless Headphones are especially well rated.
- White noise app: There are a variety of free apps, or you can try a paid option like Calm (which offers a free trial).
- Eye mask: An eye mask like this cotton option on Amazon helps to block out the bright light on planes.

Most Beautiful Metro Stations in Moscow
Visiting Moscow? Get yourself a metro card and explore Moscow’s beautiful metro stations. Moscow’s world-famous metro system is efficient and a great way to get from A to B. But there is more to it; Soviet mosaic decorations, exuberant halls with chandeliers, colourful paintings and immense statues. Moscow’s metro is an attraction itself, so take half a day and dive into Moscow’s underground!
The best thing to do is to get on the brown circle (number 5) line since the most beautiful metro stations are situated on this line. The only exception is the metro stop Mayakovskaya one the green line (number 2). My suggestion is to get a map, mark these metro stops on there and hop on the metro. It helps to get an English > Russian map to better understand the names of the stops. At some of the metro stops, the microphone voice speaks Russian and English so it’s not difficult at all.
Another thing we found out, is that it’s worth taking the escalator and explore the other corridors to discover how beautiful the full station is.
Quick hotel suggestion for Moscow is the amazing Brick Design Hotel .
These are my favourite metro stations in Moscow, in order of my personal preference:
1. Mayakovskaya Station
The metro station of Mayakovskaya looks like a ballroom! Wide arches, huge domes with lamps and mosaic works make your exit of the metro overwhelming. Look up and you will see the many colourful mosaics with typical Soviet pictures. Mayakovskaya is my personal favourite and is the only stop not on the brown line but on the green line.
2. Komsomolskaya Station
Komsomolskaya metro station is famous for its yellow ceiling. An average museum is nothing compared to this stop. Splendour all over the place, black and gold, mosaic – again – and enormous chandeliers that made my lamp at home look like a toy.
3. Novoslobodskaya Station
The pillars in the main hall of Novoslobodskaya metro station have the most colourful stained glass decorations. The golden arches and the golden mosaic with a naked lady holding a baby in front of the Soviet hammer and sickle, make the drama complete.
4. Prospect Mira Station
The beautiful chandeliers and the lines in the ceiling, make Prospekt Mira an architectural masterpiece.
5. Belorusskaya Station
Prestigious arches, octagonal shapes of Socialistic Soviet Republic mosaics. The eyecatcher of Belorusskaya metro station, however, is the enormous statue of three men with long coats, holding guns and a flag.
6. Kiyevskaya Station
The metro station of Kiyevskaya is a bit more romantic than Belorusskaya and Prospect Mira. Beautiful paintings with classical decorations.
7. Taganskaya Station
At the main hall Taganskaya metro station you will find triangle light blue and white decorations that are an ode to various Russians that – I assume – are important for Russian history and victory. There is no need to explore others halls of Taganskaya, this is it.
8. Paveletskaya Station
Another and most definitely the less beautiful outrageous huge golden mosaic covers one of the walls of Paveletskaya. I would recommend taking the escalator to the exit upstairs to admire the turquoise dome and a painting of the St Basil’s Cathedral in a wooden frame.
Travelling with Moscow’s metro is inexpensive. You can have a lot of joy for just a few Rubbles.
- 1 single journey: RMB 50 – € 0,70
- 1 day ticket: RMB 210 – € 2,95

Wow! It is beautiful. I am still dreaming of Moscow one day.
It’s absolutely beautiful! Moscow is a great city trip destination and really surprised me in many ways.
My partner and I did a self guided Moscow Metro tour when we were there 2 years ago. So many breathtaking platforms…I highly recommend it! Most of my favorites were along the Brown 5 line, as well. I also loved Mayakovskaya, Arbatskaya, Aleksandrovski Sad and Ploshchad Revolyutsii. We’re heading back in a few weeks and plan to do Metro Tour-Part 2. We hope to see the #5 stations we missed before, as well as explore some of the Dark Blue #3 (Park Pobedy and Slavyansky Bul’var, for sure), Yellow #8 and Olive #10 platforms.
That’s exciting Julia! Curious to see your Metro Tour-Part 2 experience and the stations you discovered.
