The Trtl takes a different approach to travel pillows. Instead of the traditional U-shape, it uses a scarf-like design with an internal plastic support frame that holds your head upright. It’s been scientifically tested to provide better neck support than standard pillows.
How It Works
The pillow wraps around your neck like a scarf. Inside is a hidden plastic frame that props your head at an angle, preventing the forward slump that causes neck pain. The fleece exterior is soft against skin and machine washable.

Who Should Buy It
The Trtl works best for:
- Upright sleepers who need head support

Verdict
The Trtl is genuinely different from standard travel pillows. The internal support frame keeps your head upright without bulk, and the scarf design is easier to pack than foam alternatives. It takes some adjustment if you’re used to traditional pillows, but many travellers find it effective once they adapt to the different feel.
For those who struggle with U-shaped pillows or want something more compact, the Trtl is worth trying – especially with the 100-day return policy.
