TRTL Travel Pillow - How Does it Compare? 

Wow, that’s quite the situation! Yeah, the trtl (at least the original model I have) just has the one brace, so you can place it wherever you want, but will only be able to tilt your head wherever you put the brace. I think the trtl would work behind your head, but I wonder if an inflatable pillow would work better in your situation.

@@tracenfitzpatrick Thank for your lightning fast reply! However, I doubt an inflatable pillow would work, as it would just move around or flatten out (especially since I have a curious cat, who *definitely* would sink her claws into it the minute I left the room to go to the restroom, LOL!) like all the other pillows I’ve tried. I need something attached to my neck, so that it’s more likely to stay in the place I put it before I doze off … I considered the Cabeau pillow, but my cat also goes nuts for things like shoelaces, the cord you use to tighten a hood on a hoodie/sweatshirt, etc., which means she would be very interested in the closure on the Cabeau pillow, too … (And I don’t want to shut her out of the bedroom because not only does a purring kitty put me to sleep as if I’ve just taken a dose of sleeping pills, but also because Lucy would literally sit outside the bedroom door and HOWL until I give in and open the door back up - which I’d have to do if I want to get any sleep at all because her howling is loud enough to wake the comatose, and perhaps even the dead! 😉😉😉). But if you think it would work to put the stabilizing part of the trtl behind my neck, I may have to give the trtl a try …. Are there any other travel pillows you think might work for my situation? Any suggestions you have are appreciated, and so is advice on which travel pillows probably WON’T work; you could easily be saving me from weeks (or months!) of poor sleep, not to mention from spending my very limited income on the wrong pillows! 🥰🥰🥰

@@hello-vs4dc unfortunately I haven’t tried very many travel pillows, so my recommendation is fairly limited. If you do decide to try this one one, you could check the used options and see if you can save some money there. Amazon is also pretty decent at taking returns if it doesn’t work.

@@tracenfitzpatrick I will definitely keep that idea in mind - thanks for the reminder! … I always forget Amazon sometimes offers an option to buy used, but also what they claim is “like new” on certain items until after I’ve already ordered something I wanted brand new. I think it would help if the option to buy used was listed higher up on the page - or even listed first (I doubt that would cause Amazon to lose any money, either!), but for now I’m putting your suggestion on a sticky note at the top of my computer screen; hopefully that will help me remember it in this case at least. Thanks again, and please don’t hesitate to add another suggestion if something occurs to you!

Yeah, that sounds much better. Didn’t even see it when I was shopping (or it may not have been available at the time).

It was.. I bought mine few years back!@@tracenfitzpatrick
