Trtl Pillow Air review

The Trtl Pillow Air uses the same patented internal support as the rest of the Trtl range, a curved frame that sits along the neck and under the jaw to keep the head upright, but swaps the fleece wrap for 100% cotton. Trtl pitches it as a cooler option for long-haul flights and warm climates, and cotton is a sensible pick for anyone who finds fleece sticky after a few hours. Dual hook-and-loop fastening holds the wrap firm without choking, and there are two sizes: Trtl recommends Small for people 5 ft 7 in (170 cm) and under and Regular for taller travelers. The pillow is machine washable and quick-drying and comes with a clip-on carry bag. What you give up against the Pillow Plus is height adjustment, so the fit depends on picking the right size. The list price is $54.99 and it was $43.99 on sale when we checked, with free US returns for 100 days. The page does not publish weight or dimensions.
