About Us

OUR GOAL

Trtl’s aim is to make travel comfortable, enjoyable and stress-free, so that both business travelers and vacationers alike can arrive at their destination refreshed, rested and ready to explore. We know that the journey isn’t always the best part of the trip and we’re always looking for new ways we can innovate and improve your travel experience with our range of travel pillows, accessories and more. Travel healthy, rested and happy and make the most of your trip and the destination.

HOW IT BEGAN

Trtl was founded in 2013 by Michael Corrigan and David Kellock. After studying mechanical engineering at university, they started traveling the world. Traveling on low budget airlines and enduring uncomfortable economy flights and overnight trains they soon realised that there could be a better solution to sleeping on the go than traditional, u-shaped travel pillows. 

So after in-depth research and hard graft they developed over 80 prototypes, and finally the Trtl Pillow was born. Designed to offer an alternative to bulky and ineffective travel pillows, the Trtl Pillow revolutionised the way we travel - offering a genuine opportunity for travelers to rest on route and arrive feeling refreshed and ready to explore. With a compact frame and unobtrusive design, the Trtl Pillow is perfect for light travelers, business trips and more. 

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

With the success of the Trtl Pillow building, and more and more people turning away from traditional travel pillows we started looking for new ways to innovate and continue to improve and develop our product range. 

In 2018 we launched the Trtl Pillow Plus on Kickstarter and Indiegogo. We were delighted to receive so much support for our crowdfunding campaign - which helped us to bring the world’s first fully adjustable travel pillow to life! Based on the classic Trtl Pillow, with premium materials and a unique mechanism for a fully personalised fit, the Trtl Pillow Plus is a great option for all travelers, especially those looking to customise their comfort. 

We also launched our range of Trtl Travel Socks, featuring gentle compression to promote healthy blood flow while travelling, working or relaxing at home. We continued to expand our range and were delighted to add the Trtl Travel Wrap and Trtl Sleep Mask to our range. The Trtl Wrap delivers temperature control and comfort in a minimal package, perfect for light travelers. Our Trtl Sleep Mask is a world first, combining total blackout technology with a unique ‘take a peek’ panel, offering a filtered view of your surroundings without needing to remove the mask. The Trtl Packing Pods are packing cubes reinvented - with an innovative compression system, incredible capacity and a hang anywhere system included.

REFRESH & PROTECT

Our main priority at Trtl has always been to ensure that our customers feel comfortable and we’re confident that our products can help ensure that every journey is a great one. It’s more essential than ever to look out for one another while we travel to ensure we can continue to explore the world safely. With that in mind, we are developing two ranges of products specifically tailored to ensure all travelers can feel safe, refreshed and comfortable on every journey, from the shortest commute to the longest adventure. We can’t wait to share more with you.
