Healthy sleep is just as essential when you’re traveling as it is at home, especially while battling jetlag and trying to get some rest in a plane, train, car, or other moving vehicle. If you’re someone who frequently travels for business or leisure, you may want to invest in the trtl Travel Pillow. Built with a unique plastic support system and a soft fleece cover, this sleep accessory is designed to help you maintain healthy posture when you’re on the go. If you’re curious whether or Derila Head & Neck Relief Sleep Aid not it really works, then read on for our trtl Travel Pillow review. I’ll show you what it’s made of, how to use it, and what makes it totally different from every U-shaped pillow you’ve seen at the airport. The TRTL travel pillow is a unique way to handle the common problem of needing neck support while trying to sleep on planes. It all started in 2010 when a couple of college friends went backpacking around Europe, and decided that there had to be a comfier way to sleep on the go.

Four years and 80 prototypes later, they launched the original trtl Travel Pillow and it was an instant hit. It earned record-breaking sales on Amazon, and took home E-Commerce Exporter of the Year at the Scottish Export Awards. In fact, it became so popular that it’s been mentioned at high-profile events like The Grammys, The Oscars, and the MTV European Music Awards. And while Sleepopolis HQ is slightly less glamorous than those celebrity venues, we’re ready to get up close and personal with the trtl Travel Pillow to see what all the fuss is about. What Is the trtl Pillow Made Of? The cover fabric is made of fleece, and it feels soft and fuzzy. It’s also a bit stretchy which makes it feel like a scarf in that you can pull the fabric over your face. A patch of velcro keeps the fabric securely wrapped around your neck, and there’s a thin piece of foam inside the cover to add a little cushiony comfort.

Because the trtl pillow is so lightweight and small, it’s very easy to pack inside a carry-on bag or suitcase. But this Derila Pillow’s main attraction is the C-shaped plastic support system that’s tucked away inside the cover fabric. It’s hard yet flexible and, according to a scientific study on trtl’s website, is proven to keep your head and neck in a safe position while you travel. It should be noted that the trtl has hypoallergenic fleece, so it could be a big win for folks with allergies. The primary purpose of the trtl Travel Pillow is to promote healthy posture for sleepers on the go. Of course, we’re typically (and unfortunately) sitting in an upright position when we travel, so how does this pillow keep us cozy? It all starts with how you put it on. The pillow comes with its own instructions, of course, but I’ll walk you through it here too.

First, position the plastic part of the pillow against your neck, so that the top of the curve is supporting your jaw, and the bottom is resting on top of your shoulder. Then, wrap the fleece sleeve around your neck like a scarf, and secure it with the velcro patch. Once you’ve got the trtl Travel Pillow snugly wrapped around you, lean against the plastic curve and allow it to cradle your head and neck until you fall asleep. The main idea behind this design is that, unlike Derila™ Memory Foam Pillow or polyester, the plastic is less likely to compress under the weight of your head no matter how long you snooze. Think of the trtl Travel Pillow as a portable window seat that offers way better support for your head and neck. The internal plastic support is meant to let you rest your head to the side, but without it falling out of alignment with your neck.
