Cabeau Travel Pillow for Long Flights – Evolution X - Memory Foam Neck Support - Comfort On-The-Go for Airplane, Train, and Car (Diamond)

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 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 don'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.

Very supportive and comfortable

The material is fairly comfortable, but I have a bit of a short neck so I felt that the plastic air holes ended up, stretching my neck, and just after a couple of minutes of wearing it felt uncomfortable. I tried a couple of adjustments to see if I could make it more comfortable for my smaller neck, but the fact that the two plastic vents are so large it just always ended up digging into my jaw.It does feel well-built and uses quality materials. The foam inside seems soft enough but again because of the plastic vent holes, you end up, rubbing your head up against it and unless you have the right size neck, it won’t be comfortable over time.I was also surprised it didn’t come with any kind of bag for storageIn the end, I returned the product and picked up the ostrich pillow, which was a lot more comfortable.I don’t think it’s a bad product. The size just didn’t seem right for my smaller neck.

I compared Cabeau's new Evolution X neck pillow to their excellent TNE S3. It feels more like a neck brace and while it gives a little more neck support than the TNE, it doesn't give as much side sleeping support as its TRTL Pillow competitor (even if it allows for more neck ventilation and support on BOTH sides). Also, it does tend to push your face upwards more and doesn't have the chair ties or quite the comfort level of the TNE. In fairness, I only tested it in my car so I'm going to give it 4-stars.

This pillow is soft and squishy. It has an adjustment in the neck when you unzip it and you can adjust it by angling the plastic vents out at the base or at the top in addition to the pull cord in front. The vents are nice for keeping the neck cool. The fabric is a nice soft but easy to clean material. I didn’t have any trouble with weird smells, like some other reviewers, and I am very sensitive to smells and chemicals.It is a combination between the Cabeau earlier Evolution S3 style I have and the Turtle style I’ve seen advertised. I think that it would be a good option, but I find all of the pillows still pretty uncomfortable and this one isn’t really an exception, unfortunately. It would take up less space in packing, but doesn’t hook to the seat to keep you upright like the earlier Evolution S3. It may not need to though, as it prevents leaning forward with its rigidity, but I’m sure I will still find a way to crumple up into a ball.The plastic support rings can be adjusted by angling them out from the bottom or at the top so they don’t really cause a problem pressing into your body anywhere. The zipper in the back is white and contrasts, which I think is an odd choice, but maybe they didn’t want people to have to look too hard to find it? You could slip some bills or emergency numbers in there as a secret pocket.Overall, I will probably grab this one instead of the original Evolution next time I’m flying, but not excited enough to replace all the family pillows yet. It’s not a miraculous solution, but if you’re looking for one that is more compact that the earlier Evolution, cooler with the vents, and provides some good support for various angles of head bobbing—it may work for you. It is easier on, easier off with just a simple pull cord, which is actually a pretty big advantage, and you can put it on either way so no need to think about which way is up.Love the lenticular sleeping people tags on these!*Note*Vine reviewers are invited to select products on offer which Amazon then sends for free. There is no obligation to have a positive review and I try to review as honestly as possible so as not to deceive my fellow humans. There is no payment for reviewing and I have to pay tax on the items at the end of the year, so definitely try to pick things that will be helpful in daily life. I will plan on updating the review if my experience changes.*My rating method*1 star - Terrible. I wouldn't recommend purchasing.2 stars - Marginal at best. Doesn't meet the minimum requirements to be useful. Buy at your own risk.3 stars - Somewhat lacking. Meets requirements for a product of this type, but is not out of the ordinary and somewhat lacking. If the price is good, consider purchasing.4 stars - Average. Meets the requirements of a product of this type, but is not extraordinary. Consider purchasing.5 stars - Exceptional. Excellent and has some nice features as well as being reasonably priced for a product of this type. Highly recommend purchasing, if it will be useful to have another whangdoodle.

For fifty bucks, it should come with a travel sleeve so that this thing doesn't get gross when not in use
