Travellers say they’ve found a neck pillow that makes dozing off in a cramped seat far easier, calling it a “game-changing” option for flights.
The travel accessory has built up thousands of five-star ratings on Amazon and is proving popular, with more than 5,000 reportedly sold this month.
“It works. Used it on two eight-plus hour flights to and from Rome,” one shopper shared. “I got put in a middle seat and wasn’t going to pay $80 for an aisle, so I bought this thing and was pleasantly surprised.”

“Conked out on the red eye and six hours later, I had slept more than half of the flight away.”
One customer summed it up simply: “Really works! Best thing for sleeping on a plane, not bulky and very light. It’s adjustable, so you can sleep [regardless] of whether you are in the window, aisle or even the dreaded middle seat… I even used it in the airport during a stopover to catch a few zzz’s.
“Love it! With an eye mask and ear plugs, it is as good a snooze as I’ll ever get on an airplane in economy class. It fits in my carry on, and wasn’t bulky and hardly took up room.”
“This product has completely changed my flying experience,” a third customer said. “I frequently find myself in middle seats on the plane. Trust me on this one, this is truly a game changer for economy flyers.”
So what exactly is the fast-selling travel pillow, and what will it set you back? Here’s the rundown.
Shoppers are pointing to the trtl Pillow, which is currently listed on Amazon for $59.99 here.
Built to support your head and neck while you rest, the compact pillow is designed for travel days—particularly when you don’t have a window to lean against and you’re stuck between two strangers.

It’s made with a soft fleece fabric and is intended to feel more comfortable than many traditional memory-foam neck pillows. Once you’re home, it can be tossed into the washing machine for a refresh.

The pillow has attracted a huge number of five-star ratings, with many buyers highlighting how the structure helps keep their head in a more comfortable position during long-haul trips.
Reviewers also mention reduced stiffness and aches after sleeping upright, and several say the price feels reasonable compared with other options they’ve tried.
“I was skeptical by the price, I already bought a BCOZZY (neck pillow), which I loved for a 10-hour flight. But this, wow,” one review reads.
“I was on a six-hour red eye and I slept so well. I’m a side sleeper, and this lets me sit up right on the plane, but still get my side rest. It was easy to adjust at any time and it truly felt like a firm pillow.”
Another customer shared, “I normally can’t possibly sleep on a plane. Constant head bob. Neck pains after. This pillow is a game changer. I also like it because it helps to keep me warm on a freezing cold plane. Worth every penny.”
“After many long sleepless flights when sitting in the aisle or middle seat of planes, this offered the perfect solution by forming a sturdy place to rest my head, allowing me to nod off to sleep,” a third customer said. “Also, it is lightweight and folds up into a tiny flexible pack – unlike the bulky neck pillows that take up all the room in my carry-on luggage.”
