Cabeau Travel Essential Neck Pillow - Perfectly Contours to 11-21 Inch Necks - Evolution X Three Ways to Adjust for Ultimate Comfort on Long Flights (Diamond)

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.

I have not traveled with this pillow yet but I have tried it in my chair and it is SO much more comfortable than a moshy style travel pillow. It is very adjustable so you can make it hold your head exactly as you like. Light weight, soft memory foam and easy to attach to your bag.

Absolutely horrific. Purchased two of these for a long distance flight for my wife and I. Bad support in rear of collar. The piece that keeps the string tight or loose broke on my wifes. On mine, one of the two white pieces popped out, rendering the support to be useless. Definitely over priced for the poor quality. I’ve purchased better a ghetto gas station for half the price.

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 am very happy I finally found the one! I have been looking for a few years and even tried a few. This is the best one! I found it by chance by looking at video about traveling on you tube. One video was about conference showing new products for traveling. Some bloger was taking interview from multiple stands. I have never heard about this brand but apparently they did alot of testing. Long story short I have trip coming up going to Japan there's no way I will be on a plane for this long without pillow. So I ordered it. I didn't have high hopes but construction was promising and that blogger said it was really comfortable in her comments, she tried it on camera. Well I received it today and omg it is sooo comfortable! It is definitely working for the purpose, which I was hoping because it is structured like a brace. Foam on inside is just the right firmness and softness. It is really comfortable. Whole thing is not too heavy nor extremely bulky. It is about 2 fists size and foldable. I like vents and I like structured support. Works perfect for me. The only hesitancy can be for young girls who is obsessed about there looks, as it can push your cheeks a tiny bit up when you resting in it. So if you are about function and no pain in the neck it is the best 100%. If you are about looks I would still try it, because it is soo comfortable and see if you are happy with it. Versatility is good too. I personally didn't need much of an adjustment, but I liked that you can easily loosen the string on the front. By the way this is NOT paid review. True customer here.

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.
