This Supportive Neck Pillow Kept Me Pain-free on a 13.5-hour Flight

"I've been traveling full-time for a decade now and, naturally, I have gone through my fair share of neck pillows-from cheap, inflatable airport pillows to U-shaped memory foam neck pillows. Despite trying just about every travel pillow on the market, there's only one that has truly brought me comfort on long-haul flights, and it also happens to be the most compact."

"The Trtl Neck Pillow is a serious game-changer in my books. This scarf-like neck pillow is easy to wear, comfortable, and is made with a super soft hypoallergenic fleece fabric. It has an internal support structure that functions like a neck brace of sorts, working to hold my head upright on hours-long flights-no matter what plane seat I'm in. I have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), a condition marked by pressed nerves and blood vessels in the upper back."

"This continuous compression usually causes me to suffer bouts of debilitating pain after long-haul flights. The support structure of the Trtl Neck Pillow, however, helps prevent this strain by keeping my head and neck upright during the flight. While I usually place the internal support over one of my shoulders, it can also be tucked under the neck. But regardless of where I put it, it prevents my head from bobbing."

Trtl Neck Pillow is a scarf-like, compact neck support made of super soft hypoallergenic fleece with an internal support structure that functions like a neck brace. The support holds the head upright and prevents head bobbing during upright sleep, allowing comfortable rest without needing a window or seat recline. The pillow can be worn with the internal support over a shoulder or tucked under the neck. For someone with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, the Trtl support reduces upper-back compression and associated pain during long flights. On a 13.5-hour Madrid–Santiago flight the pillow enabled eight hours of sleep and minimal jet lag.
