Whether you are traveling by plane, train, or automobile [1], taking a nap while on the go can be very troublesome. It's hard to get comfortable, even with a traditional U-shaped travel pillow, and the likelihood of a stiff neck is pretty much a given. Fortunately, it sounds like avid travelers have finally found a game-changing product that'll allow you to nap pretty much anywhere: the Trtl Travel Pillow [2] ($30).
The "pillow" is more of a wrap — made with supersoft fleece and available in four colors (black, gray, red, and coral) — that Velcros around your neck to offer support. According to the brand, the pillow is scientifically proven to support your head and neck [3] unlike any other travel pillow, because it is padded with memory foam [4] ensuring maximum comfort and support while you sleep. Its patented design allows it to fit any neck, jaw, and shoulder shape, too, even though it's half the size of a regular U-shaped pillow, weighing in at only half a pound and folding almost flat, which means you can easily stuff it into a backpack or carryon.
More than 3,000 people have rated the product on Amazon. One recent Amazon reviewer said: "[I] was able to sleep comfortably on the plane. I won't travel without it!" Another reviewer contended, "Best travel pillow I've had, and I've tried them all." Our very own editors have tested and given the funky-looking pillow a must-try seal of approval [5]. So there's nothing more to say; give it a try!
