Cabeau Long Haul Flight Cooling Travel Neck Pillow – Evolution Cool – Supportive Memory Foam with Airflow Vents – Compact with Carrying Case (Red)

This neck pillow supports my neck very well and is the best travel neck pillow I’ve ever had. The mesh fabric allows airflow, which makes it even more comfortable—especially on long flights, exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommended.

I'm a bit speechless. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I will NEVER EVER TRAVEL on a long flight without this EVER! THIS EXACT ONE! I can't sleep anywhere sitting up. I am NOT lucky in that way and always jealous of those that hit a pillow and are sleeping in 5 minutes. I ultimately end up miserable on long flights. I bought this in a hope and prayer I can get just SOME sleep to prevent as much jet lag as possible. The flight was Los Angeles to London and I had business right away on the other end. I also have HERNIATED DISC issues in my NECK, for 30 years! I put this one and it was SO COMFORTABLE and I actually got about 5 hours sleep total on this flight sitting up!! I probably would have slept more if it wasn't for food service breaks. OMG. THIS IS THE ONE! I had ZERO neck issues and it ran COOL. I read a ton of reviews of others running hot and chose this carefully. The quality was great! THIS IS WORTH THE PRICE IN GOLD even if it lasted one flight, but I will use it again and again. I am ready to travel more now...!

I have been on the hunt for YEARS for a good neck pillow, and I think I have almost found it with the Cabeau Evolution Cool pillow. I used this on a 15 hour flight from California to Asia, and felt pretty well supported. I did get a kink in my neck for the last 2 hours of sleeping on the flight, which woke me up, but as another reviewer said -- after 12-15 hours anything is bound to fell uncomfortable -- especially if you are sitting in economy class. Below are pros and cons of the pillow: Pro: Neck Support - Really like that it is flat in the back so it doesn't just your head forward when you wear it. This feature sets it apart from neck pillows I have used in the past. It also supports neck relatively well for leaning on right or left side for sleeping right sitting up. Temperature Control - Very good! I have used other neck pillows like the TRTL (did NOT work for me at all) that were WAY too hot for me, but this neck pillow did not feel too hot on my neck at all. Temperature-wise it felt just right the entire time I wore it. Carrying Case - Fantastic carrying case that allows you to pack the pillow into a little ball. The carrying case can then be attaching to the external part of your carrying bag. Was perfect because it didn't take up precious space in my carry-on. Ease of taking on and off - Comes with a magnetic closure that is very easy to take on or off. Appearance - A relatively attractive pillow that doesn't make you look TOO crazy when you wear it. Cons: Price - This pillow is a bit pricey. Around $60 so that may be a deterrent for some, but as someone who travels quite frequently for work it is worth it for me to get a few hours of shut-eye. Front head support - My neck tends to bob forward when sleeping. Even though this neck pillow is supposed to support your chin I did not find it did a very good job when I had my economy seat all the way sitting up. I still slumped forward a little uncomfortably. However, if I pushed back my set to its full recline then the neck pillow it did its job pretty well. As you can see the pros outweighs the cons! So I would recommend this pillow to anyone who is looking for their "holy grail" pillow for travel!

This fits well and provides the necessary support. The cooling feature seems to work pretty well. The latch mechanism works well. The material is extremely soft and smooth making it very comfortable. I travel a lot on long flights and I really need good support since I have major issues with herniated disks in my neck. I finished two twelve hour flights last week and this pillow worked better than anything I have tried before. The case is nice and keeps the pillow nice and clean while being transported. My only complaint is that it is a bit bulky. But, I can't see how you can make it pack up smaller without making it inflatable. The memory foam is a key part of this system so it is just going to be a bit big. I does attach easily to the outside of a backpack with the included case and it does actually fit inside my laptop backpack so it's still acceptable.

I have the original Cabeau pillow and wanted to try this because sometimes the original feels hot around the neck. My original Cabeau also eventually tore into two pieces at the back of the neck, where the foam is thinnest and weakest, so I wanted to try something new. I like the slim profile of the Evolution Cool, it provides nice support, and it does ventilate better than the original. I could use it comfortably on the plane and in the car, but the big caveat is that when I took the outer cover off to wash, I discovered that the inside foam was already torn/ripped in multiple places, in some areas quite deeply. It looks like whoever removes the foam from the molds at the factory and stuffs them into the cases was very rough with it. I ordered another to see if it would be any better, and it was also torn in multiple places, one of which was right in the back where the foam is thinnest/weakest and could easily lead to further tearing with any regular use. The foam seems very delicate in general, so I don't know about the longevity of this item even though it functions pretty well. The density of the foam also seems inconsistent when I compared the first and second Evolution Cool pillows that I bought. I would consider keeping it if I could start off one that didn't have any tearing or defects, but I don't want to start with a new pillow that is already damaged, especially for the premium price.

This item was sold as new, but it had clearly been using judging by the stains on the cover. Do better Cabeau! Speaking of the cover, while it is removable for cleaning, the zipper feels VERY cheap and flimsy and I doubt it would last long--even though to be fair Cabeau offers their "Cabeau Club" which includes free replacements if you sign up for it. We did keep their inflatable travel neck pillow which we really like a lot!

Feels great can’t wait to see how it works for me on my upcoming international flight.

So for decades I’ve flown without a neck pillow. I always thought they looked dorky, didn’t work, etc. And my couple experiments with those inflatable donut types confirmed my belief: neck pillows are dumb. However, an especially hectic travel season, combined with a growing problem adjusting to time zones (and frankly, better pre-trip preparation that’s meant I’m not staying up all night on planes writing my talks!), made me think it was time to give them another try. Neck pillows are rather like headphones: comfort is very subjective, as are the standards we each use to evaluate what works best for us. Having said that, I find that this is FABULOUS. It wears very comfortably, doesn’t get too warm, stays in place, and really does keep my head upright. I’ve worn it on a 12-hour SFO-IST flight (full of young children), SFO-AMS, and elsewhere, and it’s been terrific; it doesn’t make up for being in economy, but it helps. It also packs down well into its own carrying case (though these things are never very small). They’re not cheap, but if they work for you, they’re worth it.
