Best pillows for neck pain 2023, from V

Always get a crick in your neck when you’re travelling? The Trtl travel neck pillow is designed to let you nod off comfortably while sitting up – whether you’re on a plane, a train or the Tube. So, while it’s not going to ease existing neck pain, it might just help you avoid developing it.

The pillow looks like a scarf, but when you open it up there’s a built-in neck support that tucks at the side or front of your neck.

It took us a few goes to find the right position and wrap the scarf just tight enough, but we were really impressed once we had. It’s far more comfortable than a U-shaped travel pillow, not to mention lighter and easier to pack. Plus, you’re much more likely to get some shut-eye on the move without dribbling on your neighbour’s shoulder.
