Cabeau Travel Essential Neck Pillow - Fits Most Neck Sizes (11-21 inches) - Evolution X Three Ways to Adjust for Ultimate Comfort on Long Flights (Sapphire)

I read the reviews that some said it felt like they were in a neck brace... and the truth is, you do feel that way to an extent. With that said, the Cabeau has been my absolute favorite head and neck support when traveling and I have gone through about 6 or 7 different options. My biggest complaint with other neck pillows was the thickness behind the neck. When you're on a flight, there isn't much room for a thick backing. Not only is this one thinner than others, it molds beautifully to be able to place your head on the headrest with comfort. It is soft and moldable and has completely eliminated stiffness from traveling and neck kinks and the constant adjusting of position to relieve one side or another in my back. While the sides seem rigid (and they are), they also support your head and neck completely. Even with the front closure having an inch or two spacing (I like a little air to flow to the front of my neck), my chin doesn't fall forward and my head doesn't fall to the side at all. I also use Apple AirPods when I sleep and they fit just fine, but a little too much jostling or adjusting and they sometimes fall out due to the slight pressure placed on the lower jawline, so I highly recommend just getting some cheap magnetic airpod holder/lanyard like straps that you can slide them into and put around your neck to ensure you don't have to search for them on the floor somewhere. The only negative I have is that the outside fabric will pull loose from the rigid sides a bit toward the back, but not enough that it is truly noticeable or an issue. Overall, the form, fit and function of this neck pillow is exactly what was described and does the job beautifully for any travel or situation that you need to sit up and would like to take a nap. Highly recommend for the comfort and solution for travel sleep.

As someone who travels a lot for work, I’ve tried a lot of travel neck pillows. The one that worked the “best” for me was the TRTL neck pillow bc it kept my head upright, was easy to pack, and easy to wash. But I was always annoyed that it only had support on one side, so you had to choose which direction you wanted your head to lay. This Cabeau pillow is exactly what I’ve been searching for. It keeps my head fully upright the way the TRTL does, it has structured side support on both sides of your neck, so you don’t have to choose which direction to lay your head. It also tightens and adjusts easily for a snug fit. If you’re looking for something that is soft and all memory foam, this isn’t it. It’s more rigid so that it supports your neck fully without overheating you. The plastic portion is covered in some memory foam so it doesnt have any annoying pressure points, but you are able to feel the rigidity. This is now my go to travel pillow and I’m no longer using the TRTL

This is without question the most effective “neck pillow” I’ve used. And I use quotations there because it fits more like a C-collar that’s used for cervical spine restraint. But it’s very comfortable and it was very effective of keeping my neck supported during the flight. If you are looking for function over form, you have found it! Some people might think you look weird wearing it though but like I said it works. I would definitely recommended it.

The Cabeau Evolution X is hands-down the highest-value travel pillow on the market. Sure, it’s a bit more expensive, but it’s head and shoulders (no pun intended) above everything else I’ve tried. The fit is fully adjustable (incl for long necks like mine), and has structured support that actually keeps your neck aligned throughout a long trip. Materials are breathable - don’t leave you sweaty during taxiing or mid-flight. This pillow delivers real rest in even the most upright, cramped seats and is a game-changer to transform otherwise uncomfortable airplane spaces into something altogether different. It packs down small, feels incredibly well-made, and frankly makes all those floppy U-shaped pillows or turtl pillow feel like gimmicks and toys. If you care about arriving rested and pain-free, this is the one to buy.

Just got the neck pillow today. looks great but there is a rip on the back of the pillow. there was no damage to the packaging and other items in the package are not damaged so i’m guessing it was a manufacturing defect. It seems comfortable and was really excited to use it on my next trip in a few weeks.

I have been on the hunt for a great neck pillow since I lost mine in 2012. This one does have potential for the right neck...but not mine. I put this one on for about an hour and adjusted the entire time. Although the plastic pieces are great in theory, it is too heavy for most necks. My neck was actually strained after wearing it for an hour; too heavy and stretched my neck. It reminds me of getting your hair braided and having to hold your neck for periods of time. Also, the plastic has to be positioned just right or it is uncomfortable. In my opinion, this would be for a man. Possibly make a version with smaller plastic pieces made of a lighter weight material for women and kids.

I was a bit worried about how bulky it would be but it collapsed really well into my laptop bag for easy transport. The tightening strap was easy to use without having to visually look at it (could do it by feel and kept my head from dropping forward the way a typical c shaped neck pillow would. Material light and breathable and I didnt get hot. Fit well on me and my hubs who is much taller and with a longer neck.

I believe this would be the perfect pillow not just for the side sleepers but this also helps keep the chin more upright instead of your head bouncing up and down while trying to sleep...no more neck soreness. The issue is its still to big even though it's adjustable for the neck size still feels uncomfortable because of the pressure on the back neck when you have to adjust it alot so my chin doesn't fall through the front. I wish they made smaller version of this and the foam used would be more firm as it feels a bit soft. Last thing to note is they should've include a storage case instead of selling it separately. I'll be looking into this again if they make a revised version of this in the future.
