CabeauNeck Pillow for Airplane Travel – Evolution Classic – Memory Foam U Shaped Design – Supportive for Sleeping with Adjustable Support Clasp (Midnight Black)

It's difficult for me to sleep on flights but I do with this bad boy. It's like being put in a sleeper hold with a soft puffy cloud. This neck pillow is really tall and covers your entire neck up to your jaw. It provides excellent support no matter which way you lean your head. It does tend to get a little toasty after a while. I think my biggest nitpick is that even though the back of the pillow is flat, it is still pretty thick and and can be uncomfortable leaning straight back into your seat. The pillow is rather large and does not compact so plan on having plenty of space for it. The clasp is probably the worst quality part of this pillow. The release button is pretty stiff and can be difficult to find when you can't move your head to look down. There's no tactile feedback to tell you that the button has been fully depressed either, so you just have to press the button fairly hard while simultaneously pulling the clasp apart gently until it comes undone.

I tried a bunch of different random Amazon pillows before I finally got this one (recommended by my sister). It’s the best and worth a couple extra bucks to have an actual comfortable neck pillow. I used this on my trip to Switzerland and it was exactly what I needed. It’s soft, provides support, rolls up and stores away easily, and has a removable/washable cover. I mean if you’re looking for a travel pillow or really just a neck pillow for sitting long hours at your desk, this is great. For reference, I am a 5’2’’ petite person and this worked for me..also worked for my brother and boyfriend so it seems to be pretty standard fit. Worth it.

**I edited this from a 2 star review to a 4 star review. I emailed Cabeau about the torn case and they sent a new one right out to me free of charge. So they made it right. I also suspect, but do not know for certain, that the pillow I received was a return that Amazon sent me. This would make my experience with the pillow more of an Amazon issue than a Cabeau one.**Pros: the memory foam is comfy. And the clasp is a nice feature that helps secure your head when in use.Cons: the fabric is very thin and weak. After just a little bit of use mine was torn at the seams. So it doesn't seem rugged enough for extensive travel.It doesn’t come with a case. Because of the memory foam, there was potential to provide us a case that compressed the pillow down to almost nothing. But without one, you’re forced to either dangle it from a bag (thereby picking up airport and hotel nastiness) or take up precious real estate in your bag.It’s an absolute dust and hair magnet. Another thing not helped by not coming with a case.If you like to wear noise canceling headphones on flights like I do, unless you’re bigger with a long neck, odds are you’ll have to choose between wearing one or the other. Contouring the pillow just a tad could have allowed for headphone use to further aid in sleep, but no such design feature exists on the pillow.

After using this pillow for a few flights the integrity of the foam has really broken down. It is still okay, but I find I need to cram something between my cheek and the side of the pillow or there is no support for my headI take a red eye flight about twice a year. I am so tired of buying worthless pillows so I ordered six of the popular ones to compare them.The clear winner is the Cabeau Evolution Classic Memory Foam Travel Pillow. It is the only one that is tall and firm enough to support your head without having to hike up your shoulder. The back is flat, so it does not push your head forward. You can lean to either side and to the front without straining your neck. (I don’t have any connection to this company and was not paid for this review.)the BCOZZY Chin Supporting Patented Travel Pillow could work well for children but is not tall enough or secure enough for an adult. (I am an average sized woman 5’6” with a fairly long neck.) It is pretty comfortable doubled up on the side, but I think it would fall off if you actually fell asleep.The Veken Travel Pillow is very soft. It might be a good option for a very large person. It was not tight enough around my neck to offer any support at all.The Travel Pillow Best 100% Memory Foam is just gimmicky. It looks like you can adjust all kinds of things on it, but there is zero difference when you make the adjustments. It is flimsy and does not give any support.The ComfoArray Head Support Travel Pillow feels like a neck brace so it is a little constricting. I thought for a second that this gave good support, but after leaning into it, it just gives out.The Familamb Travel Pillow has a very strong chemical smell. Like the others it doesn’t offer much support.

I rated the pillow as a 5 even though I had to modify the pillow slightly to fit me personally. Nothing wrong with the pillow. My ears stick out so the raised portion around the top pushed up against my ears preventing me from wearing earphones comfortably. I removed the pillow from it's cover and used a pair of scissors to trim the top to suit me and it works great. I like to sit in my recliner and listen to music and drift off to sleep at night. In the past I would often wake up with a neck pain. This neck pillow eliminated the neck pain. Only problem now is, due to the neck pillow comfort, I sleep longer than I planned to.

I’ve never tried a pillow like this before. I have a thin neck so it’s always been a struggle to find a pillow to snug me quite like this one. I love that you can adjust the snug to your liking. The length is amazing as well. I am a side sleeper so naturally I bend my neck when I fall asleep and with this pillow, since is tall, I don’t wake up with a stiff neck, it does the lift for me while I sleep. And last, the back of the pillow is genius because is flat and doesn’t give you the discomfort of leaning forward while you lay on it. Although I do have to say, I feel like I have to be extra careful with the backside of the pillow because is so thin compared to the sides of it and I feel like one wrong move and I could tear the foam. So just beware of that.
