When I was 19, I traveled around Europe for 5 weeks and brought both a TRTL pillow and the BCOZZY neck pillow. I ditched the TRTL within a few days. The BCOZZY is much more adjustable and softer, as well as provides stability for my whole head (no bobbing!). It took a little getting used to, as the weight of my head pressed down upon my jaw and chest but I quickly adapted and napped comfortably on planes, trains, and buses. It’s my absolute favorite travel pillow. Would never take a flight over 2 hours without it.

I just googled Bcozzy and it looks extremely thin like it would have zero support... I wish they would just make a thick one that actually supports your head all around. It's crazy that it doesn't exist.

Actually there is an updated version called the trtl pillow plus, where the "side pillow" is much sturdier and can be regulated in height. It would be interesting to see your opinion about it. I bought the plus version when it was on kickstarter, but was a bit disappointed, maybe because my expectations were too high, or maybe cause i never found the perfect setting for me.

You actually are reviewing something that I have owned for years. I tried about 4 travel/plane pillows and Trtl is the only one that I have still. It's much needed for International travel and I only carry it for domestic if the flight is over 3 hours. It lets me rest so I can actually fall asleep on a plane which I used to never be able to do. The fabric cover is easy to wash and the only negative is that it's big in my backpack but worth every square inch.

Hope you enjoyed your trip! It looks beautiful! This pillow might be better than the alternative: being an actual bobble head when dozing off during travel. It might prevent that kink in your neck from your head snapping back and forth. But then some folks, like me, have an issue having things wrapped against your neck.

you can actually use it on both sides (unless your version is strangely unsymmetric); it's very practical and depending on how light i have to travel, i pick this one or the j pillow, so yes i like this one and the support it provides ot my neck. this is coming from someone who can barely ever sleep in a non-horizontal position, so these two pillows have at least allowed for some naps

Please try the Dream Sling! It's a travel pillow with a sling for both of your arms. When I travel on international flights, my arms always put strain on my shoulders. So with the sling, I can rest my arms higher than the low arm rests that are on the plane seats. And it was invented IN HAWAII!

I have developed a severe spinal deformity due to ankylosing spondylitis and a few other complications, which together have caused me to be unable to sleep in any position except sitting up in bed. So I have a bed wedge to lean against; however, this creates an additional painful problem with my neck as my pillow inevitably flattens or moves slightly from where I had put it before falling asleep … Therefore I’m looking for a travel pillow that will keep my neck supported throughout the night instead of allowing my head and neck to tip way backwards. My question about this travel pillow (any/all of the three trtl pillows) is can I put the plastic stabilizing part behind my neck, vs. on one side or the other of my neck? Every ad I see for the trtl pillows shows the stabilizer only on one side or the other of the model’s neck … Thanks in advance for any answers or suggestions you may have to offer, and be well!🥰🥰🥰

If I was the airline, I would have asked if you had a doctor's note to fly as you look like some weird medical condition using that thing. Unless you can switch to lean your head in either direction, it's not very good. I'd rather lean my head towards a travel companion and not a stranger, and I'm sure they would like that also since you look scary using it.

The TRTL takes a lot of practice to use. The models in the ads all seem to be in first or business. Those in economy class have to (1) avoid elbowing the person in the next seat, (2) avoid spilling whatever is on the tray, and (3) constantly get out of the seat, interrupting your sleep. It also needs to be readjusted during the flight. Not many people sleep in the same position for hours at a time.
