Title: Surprisingly Comfy!
Review: I bought this because I have multiple long flights in the upcoming months but I was skeptical based on mixed reviews. It really seems like people are all in and love it or they hate it, and perhaps it has to do with your specific neck/shoulder measurements. (I am a 5’4” female, 195lb if that helps). I just used this on a short 2 hour morning flight to test it out, under the belief I could always return it. (You do have to keep the tag attached to return it!). I love it and am going to keep it! The carrying bag it comes in clips to your luggage nicely. Bag is sturdy. However it is a very sturdy Velcro closure which I recommend opening before the plane goes silent! I felt bad making so much noise ripping it open. I had no issues putting it on and didn’t need to take up much space around me to do so, as other complaints mention. It was on the warm side but the plane was cool and I enjoyed it. I wore an N95 under it and wrapped this over my mask. It did bunch my mask around a bit but it wasn’t bad. Once I was in, I left it on the whole flight even when I was just scrolling through my phone. I found it quite comfortable to just exist in, though it’s a little harder to crane your neck around. I stayed facing fully forward the whole time and was worried that I couldn’t easily reach into my backpack under the seat without adjusting the turtl. The product itself provides nice support. Better than any foam type travel pillow I’ve ever used. After 2 hours of leaning on it, I have absolutely no neck pain! I love that it’s easily washable too as I find planes so filthy. I look forward to using this on longer flights!

Title: Stopped Using the Trtl - I'm 5'9", 150lbs - Used 10+ trips
Review: I travel for work 10-12 weeks a year, about a quarter of which is international. Five-star reviews are rare for me. I reserve that rating for near perfect items. 4 stars IMO, is damn good.I have used the Trtl on at least 10 trips / 20+ flights.Travel - 4 stars (Very Good)The Trtl fits extremely well in any travel bag I'd imagine. I use a Timbuk2 Authority as my primary carry-on and the Trtl tucks in very nicely without taking up too much space. This makes it easy to stow your bag under the seat on planes, pillow included.Support - 3 Stars (Good)Support is where I started to have issues with the Trtl. This could be a result of my size and personal comfort preferences as well, so be advised. I am 5'9", 150lbs, and comfortably wear a 14.5 inch neck in dress shirts. I found that I had to wrap the Trtl fairly tight around my neck in order for the support to be effective. If I tried to loosen the wrap for more comfort, the brace would slide down my shoulder - which led me to have to try and "shrug" my shoulders to keep the brace pressed to my face. In this situation, the Trtl is neither supportive or comfortable. This may not be an issue for someone with broader shoulders or a thicker / more muscular build. For me, finding the sweet spot between feeling like I was in "traction" and "resting" on a pillow was difficult.Comfort - 2 Stars (Disappointing)FIRST ISSUEThe struggles with support contribute to my rating for comfort. In achieving the "good" support, the Trtl became uncomfortable for me. Imagine pulling a turtle neck up high to the bottom of your ears and covering your chin. If you have no problem with that for however many hours you want to rest on the pillow - this shouldn't bother you. For me, this quickly led to me feeling hot / stuffy / and restricted. The material breathes well enough, but airplanes are stuffy and poorly vented in my experiences, which made using the Trtl feel like sleeping in bed with the covers pulled up over your face.SECOND ISSUEUsing the Trtl while sitting tightly packed in economy wasn't fun. I'm a small guy, and the act of having to extend and wrap the Trtl around my neck, velcro it properly, and adjust it made me brush up against my fellow passengers. I found myself trying to couch over in my seat to put this on if I had people sitting next to me on a plane. No one next to you, no problem. Flying business or first class, no problem - though the pillows there are way better than the Trtl. Don't forget your own pillow case.THIRD ISSUEI like to wear wireless earbuds (Jabra Elite 65t). The Trtl interferes with the seating of the wireless earbud in my ear, either pressing it or tugging it out. This can happen with traditional travel pillows as well, but with those designs, you can push the pillow in slightly different positions to avoid this. I didn't have the same issue with over the ear headphones, but using them is not my preference. If you use Apple earbuds, this could be an issue.Overall - a good product, well built, and easy to travel with. Ultimately wasn't a good fit for me and my specific use case, but your mileage may vary. I hope this helps!

Title: Worth the money
Review: I can never sleep on the plane. My head is bobbing around with most neck pillows, and I never can get comfortable.I bought the turtle neck pillow and I actually got sleep!It’s basically like a scarf with a neck brace that’s inserted in the scarf. Sounds uncomfortable, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. It’s not as soft as most neck pillows. But if that neck pillow is not allowing you that Softness doesn’t matter.Pros: Not a bulky product. Which is one of the main reasons I got it. It’s washable and has a case for easy packing.It holds your head up so you can sleep.Con’s: The price (but, I can see myself keeping this for a long time and using it so it’s a good investment)You do have to turn it to area you want to lay your head on. For example, the side or the front.If you tend to get hot easy you may get warm . It’s like wearing a neck scarf. Which at times I did get hot but I found It to keep me warm more than it got me hot, especially on those freezing planes or during the long layover in the freezing airport .

Review: Realmente cambió la forma en la que viajo! Ya no más soportes de cuello estorbosos que no sirven para nada. Este producto realmente resuelve el problema de tener que dormir sentado. Lo probé en un vuelo de 11 horas y pude descansar muy bien. Altamente recomendable.

Review: Finalmente riesco a dormire sui sedili dell'aereo!Questo "cuscino", oltre a fornire un eccellente supporto per il collo, ha altre caratteristiche che lo rendono molto comodo:- occupa poco posto nel bagaglio;- la sciarpina si può lavare ogni volta;- date le temperature polari sui voli internazionali, il pile risulta molto gradevole.Certo, il prezzo è esagerato, considerando che è un pezzo di plastica rivestito di pile...Io l'ho comprato l'anno scorso, forse adesso si trovano imitazioni cinesi che costano meno!
