Im an expert at whiling away the hours on a plane.
I can distract myself, even in a confined spacereading, watching movies, or thinking thoughts.
I can even find pleasure in the tiny bland meal served on an airplane.
What Ive never been good at, though, is in-flight sleep.
I tried theTrtl travel pillow, and I wont do long flights without it again.
Dozing is decidedly not as rejuvenating as actual sleep.
My flight naps were often short and half-hearted.
Usually 20 minutes would pass before I woke myself up because I open-mouth snored again.
But it was the unusual design that caused me to reconsider.
It wasnt bulky and barely weighed a thing; it’s just a bit awkwardly shaped.
I wondered where Id store it because it doesnt fold or collapse.
It was a squeeze, but the backpack zipped up.
It felt pretty good.
I tested out the strength of it and decided to tighten up the fleece scarf before closing my eyes.
Not only did I get hours (in a row!)
of real sleep, but the fleece wrapped securely under my chin, solving my open-mouth snoring dilemma.
The Trtl was comfortable and effective.
Even if you dont achieve this level of glamour, its okay; sleeping isnt about looks anyway.
Why the Trtl works
The Trtl travel pillow has a different approach than everything else Ive tried.
Its basically a thin fleece scarf with a rigid but padded, curved support on one end.
The stretchy fleece plays an important role in the support structure.
I find the biggest culprit of crappy sleep while sitting up is the head-bob.
Anyone who has slept on a bus, subway, or train knows the dreaded head-bob.
You start to doze and gravity takes control of your ten-pound head for a split second.
The Trtl travel pillow ison sale right now, and comes in several colors.
By the way, there is aTrtl pillow junior(also on sale).
I highly recommend grabbing this deal for yourself or anyone on your gift list who travels.
The Trtl will change how you holiday.
