- Cabeau Evolution X Travel Essential Neck Pillow - Memory Foam Body Positioner - Perfectly Contours to 11-21 Inch Necks - 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.

Why I Purchased It Searched for alternatives to a standard travel pillow due to difficulty sleeping while sitting upright and a tendency for the head to fall forward. The goal was more structured support for long flights. Pros The built in structure is the main strength. The hard plastic oval sections on the outside help keep the neck upright and prevent the head from falling forward, a clear improvement over standard travel pillows. The neck support also works well when the head is leaned toward the sides, helping keep it stable. It is also comfortable when leaning slightly forward. The padding is memory foam, though it feels closer to regular foam with only a slight slow response. It remains comfortable, but is less plush than typical memory foam pillows. Cons That said, it is not perfect. With about 3.75 inches from my collarbone to the top of my neck, it is slightly too short to fully keep my head upright on its own. However, placing a blanket or jacket underneath can raise the head and help keep it upright, improving overall support. The spring loaded clasp that secures the front string feels just barely strong enough, and a stronger spring would improve security. The front strap could also be a few inches longer to make it easier to put on and take off without unclasping. Other Thoughts The version received differs slightly from the listing photos. The adjustable neck strap is located on the inside of the cover, which makes it less convenient to access. Adjusting it requires unzipping the cover to reach the strap and make changes. However, having the strap on the inside helps prevent it from being accidentally undone. Summary Overall, this is a well designed travel pillow that provides strong neck support and is a clear upgrade over standard options. It is one of the few options that works reasonably well for longer necks, making it a strong choice for that use case. It should make sleeping during long flights easier, despite some fit and design limitations. Recommendation Recommended for those looking for structured neck support to help keep the head upright while sleeping in a seated position.

As a pharmaceutical exec shuttling between the East Coast, West Coast, and Europe, I consider a quality travel pillow essential—especially given how often I endure red-eye flights. This pillow’s standout feature is genuine customization: a quick zip-and-strap adjustment lets find your ideal fit, while shifting the top or bottom lobes dials in neck height precisely. The result is a pillow that adapts to you, not the other way around. Support and comfort are equally strong. The cradled head design kept my head upright, eliminating the dreaded “head bob” and minimizing post-flight neck pain. With a simple cord and ball-lock mechanism, it’s easy to fine-tune support for your preferred sleeping position—even when shifting in a cramped economy seat or against a window. I've even used it to nap in the airport while waiting for a flight. Finally, the built-in cooling vents are a thoughtful touch for anyone who runs warm—no more waking up overheated or clammy. For executives and frequent flyers who need red-eyes to be as restful as possible, this pillow delivers comfort, adaptability, and solid value.

Super. Bei vielen Nackenkissen sinkt man dennoch ab wenn man im Flugzeug einschläft aber das gibt den nötigen Halt. Dazu ist es dennoch weich und bequem. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

it is a very good concept with lots of potential but there are some major flaws one of which is not having enough padding. Wearing it for 5 minutes at home, my shoulder and face started to feel the plastic inside that acts as support. it is definitely not recommended for long flights. it feels like medical neck guard after fastening the front strap. if they increase the padding twice as much I can see it can become very comfortable and practical. Quality of the zipper in the back is very low and its clear it wont last long. and it doesn't come with any bag our pouch which is very strange for this price tag of travel pillow. They expect you to pay and buy the bag on their website. greedy much?

You know a pillow will be good do travel if it immediately feels great when you put it on. This is one of them. I love the fact that it’s also ventilated as others I’ve had made me feel hot after a short time of wearing it. I’ve yet to try this on an extended flight though. Looking forward to have a good nights rest!

LOVE this, I’ve tried many travel pillows with very little success but I got a good six hours sleep on a long haul flight with this one (I rarely get more than one hour!) I’m a petite 5ft 4 so the fact that this was so easy to adjust definitely helped! Only downside is that it doesn’t have a bag or a good way to fold it to be smaller

Si la idea es tener algo que permita que el cuello se mueva poco para poder descansar sin tener q estar haciendo fuerza con el cuello entonces esto NO es la solucion. No es muy alto, con lo cual el cuello cae mucho igual y, si uno inclina el cuello para abajo; el sistema que tiene para tirar de una tirita, se afloja facilmente.
