CabeauTravel Neck Pillow for Airplanes – The Neck’s Evolution, TNE S3 – Supportive Memory Foam Design for Long Haul Flights – Attachable Seat Straps and 360° Support (Paris Lavender)

This travel neck pillow turned out to be way better than I expected. At first, I wasn’t sure I’d like it, but once I figured out how to strap it to the headrest, it completely changed the experience. It gave my neck way more support than other pillows I’ve tried, and it actually kept my head upright the whole time I slept. I usually wake up sore after long flights, but with this pillow, I had zero neck pain when I woke up. Honestly, it’s one of the best travel pillows I’ve used, super supportive, comfy, and worth it!

I hate travel pillows. I never sleep well on planes- if even at all. Always find travel pillows to be too bulky and uncomfortable. This pillow changed that for me. I had a red eye flight and needed something to support my neck. The pillow sat comfortably on my neck and I did not find it too hot (I am always hot). The chin strap is such a smart design. I didn't bother with attaching it to the seat back, so cannot comment on how well it works there. Did I sleep on the flight? No. But I was able to snuggle into this and watch a movie without neck pain or an annoying pillow moving around on me. The pillow was firm but not too firm and I was easily able to move the chin strap as needed. I washed the cover before use and it was simple to take off and put back on. It rolled easily back into its case. And I was happy to have the clip to be able to hang from my backpack as I moved around the airport. Overall super happy with my purchase.

Let me set the scene: you’re on an 8-hour flight, neck craned at an unnatural angle, trying to find the sweet spot between comfort and suffocation. That used to be my life - until I found the Cabeau The Neck’s Evolution Pillow. It’s not just a travel pillow; it’s a revolution in neck support. I’ve tried countless travel pillows over the years, but this one has been a complete game-changer.Comfort Like No Other:This pillow feels like a memory foam hammock for your neck. Seriously. The 360-degree support cradles your head so perfectly that it eliminates the infamous airplane neck flop. The straps that attach to your chair are a GENIUS addition, keeping the pillow securely in place no matter how much you shift around. It’s the ultimate solution for those of us who just want a bit of dignity while sleeping in public.Pros (and a Few Things to Note):• Insanely Comfortable: The memory foam is top-tier—firm yet cushy enough to feel luxurious.• Compact and Travel-Friendly: It compresses down super small, making it easy to pack in your carry-on.• Breathable Option Available: If you’re someone who overheats easily, consider their breathable model (because yes, this one can get a bit warm if you’re on the sweaty side like me).• In-Ear Headphones Only: Heads up—this doesn’t play nice with bulky over-ear headphones. Stick to earbuds for a seamless experience.• Durability Concerns: The straps that attach to the chair are brilliant but require some TLC. If you’re rough on your gear, they could snap.Why I Keep Coming Back:I’ve owned multiple versions of this pillow, and each time, they’ve made thoughtful improvements. From better foam to more secure straps, it’s clear Cabeau is committed to making the ultimate travel companion.Final Thoughts:If you’re someone who travels frequently or just wants a reliable neck pillow for gaming or home use, this is the one to get. It’s not flawless (hello, headphone and heat issues), but the comfort and support far outweigh the minor drawbacks. My neck has never been happier, and I can’t wait to see how they keep innovating. Trust me, once you use it, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without it.

The number one thing to know here is that on an airplane, this is a COMPLETE game-changer. Because the straps on the back are reconfigurable in several ways, they allow you to securely attach it to the headrest on the plane seat. After that, once you've got the chin strap/closure thing secured in the front, your head is not going anywhere. I currently have a pinched nerve in my neck and I cannot risk falling asleep with my head lolling off to the side. NO PROBLEM. I slept on an SFO-ORD flight for almost the full 4 hours without my head (or shoulders) moving. My body slumped a little downwards, sure, but my head was secured, which also meant I didn't lean forward at the waist. It was amazing.I think it's important to note that the airplane is not the only place this is helpful. As I said I have a neck injury right now so I will wear this sometimes just sitting on the couch watching a movie and it's incredibly effective at general immobilization as well.In the interest of full disclosure you should know that the foam can make it get kind of warm. It's only slightly uncomfortable in this way, but it's important to note nevertheless.The thoughtful design of this device is apparent at every turn — there's a small pocket where you can tuck the chin strap, the velcro tab at the top of that strap can be folded over and attached back to itself so it's not scratching up the surface, and the headrest attachment straps double over through little plastic loops, which helps with storage, as well as adding to the ability of the piece to attach to pretty much any type of headrest, probably even in various cars as well as airplanes.Even the storage pouch is well-designed, with a little buckle to allow you to quickly attach it to the handle of your suitcase or whatever. Keep in mind that you do have to roll and squish it pretty tight to get it to fit inside the pouch, but you'll figure it out, it's pretty easy — just roll it tight like a cinnamon roll and be forceful when you're putting it into the case.I love that it came with little earplugs too, though I have not used them so I can't speak to that.If you're wondering whether it's worth the cost, I give you an emphatic YES. It's not easy to make air travel more comfortable, but this product absolutely goes a long way towards doing that.I hope this review is helpful in your decision-making, and if so I hope you get the same comfort and benefits from this as I did and continue to do. Good luck, and enjoy!
