Product Overview
The trtl Pillow Plus is a height-adjustable travel neck pillow engineered for superior head and neck support during long journeys. Designed for use on planes, cars, and trains, it combines a soft, hypoallergenic fleece exterior with a hidden internal support structure to keep your head properly aligned while sleeping upright. Unlike traditional U-shaped pillows, the trtl Pillow Plus wraps securely around the neck and can be customized for comfort on either side or the front. Ideal for frequent travelers, it helps reduce neck strain and minimizes the effects of jet lag by promoting better sleep posture. The machine-washable design ensures lasting freshness and hygiene.
Key Features

- Breathable Hypoallergenic Fleece – Made from super soft, hypoallergenic fleece, the outer cover is gentle on the skin and promotes airflow to prevent overheating during extended wear.
- Multi-Position Wear – You can wear the pillow on the left, right, or front of your neck, giving you flexibility to switch sides or find your most comfortable angle without compromising support.
- Prevents Forward Head Drop – By tucking your ear and jaw inside the pillow or positioning the support under your chin, the trtl Pillow Plus keeps your head upright, reducing the common issue of nodding forward during sleep.
- Machine Washable – For easy maintenance, the entire pillow is machine washable. For best results, place it in a mesh wash bag and use a cool cycle (30°C or 89°F).

Benefits & Use Cases
The trtl Pillow Plus is ideal for travelers who spend long hours in transit and want to arrive at their destination feeling rested. Its adjustable design makes it particularly effective for individuals with longer necks or those who find standard travel pillows too short. Whether you’re on a red-eye flight, a cross-country train ride, or a road trip, the pillow provides consistent support to prevent neck stiffness and discomfort. The ability to reposition the pillow on either side or the front allows for personalized comfort, especially useful for side sleepers or those who shift positions frequently. Its compact size means it won’t take up valuable space in your carry-on, and the included travel bag makes it easy to pack and protect when not in use.
How to Use the trtl Pillow Plus
Getting the most out of your trtl Pillow Plus is simple. Start by unfastening the pillow and extending the internal support to your desired height. Next, position the support around your neck—on the left, right, or front—depending on your comfort preference. For optimal head alignment, tuck your ear and jaw inside the pillow or adjust the support to sit beneath your chin, preventing forward head drop. This ergonomic positioning helps maintain proper spinal alignment, reducing strain during extended periods of sleep. The included travel bag makes it easy to store and carry, whether you’re stashing it in overhead bins or packing it in a backpack.
Care & Maintenance
Keeping your trtl Pillow Plus clean and fresh is straightforward. The entire pillow is machine washable, but for best results, place it in a mesh wash bag to protect the fabric and internal structure. Use a cool wash cycle (30°C or 89°F) and avoid high heat when drying to preserve the shape and integrity of the fleece cover. Regular washing helps maintain hygiene, especially after long trips or exposure to different environments. Always allow the pillow to air dry completely before storing or using again.
Important Notes
Product warranty information is available through the manufacturer’s website. Customer reviews indicate an average rating of 3.8 out of 5 stars based on 2,343 ratings. The trtl Pillow Plus is distinct from the original trtl Travel Pillow due to its fully adjustable support system, offering a more tailored fit. Always follow care instructions to maintain the pillow’s shape and hygiene—machine wash on a cool cycle and avoid high heat drying.
