Trtl Travel Pillow
Why we love it
- Four stars on Amazon with over 11K ratings
- Scientifically proven to keep your head in an optimal sleeping position
- Lightweight (only half a pound!) and machine washable
A new travel pillow that’s not bulky or embarrassing, the Trtl Pillow is a bestseller on Amazon thanks to its discreet ergonomic neck support. One of the best neck pillows for plane sleeping, its sturdy neck support is less bulky than a pillow and disguised by a scarf-like wrap, so no one will know you’re propping up your sleepy head. The Trtl Pillow also packs flat, making it convenient as well.
