Cabeau Evolution S3 Travel Pillow – Straps to Airplane Seat – Ensures Your Head Won’t Fall Forward – Relax with Plush Memory Foam – Quick-Dry Fabric Keeps You Cool and Dry (Cardinal)…

Product Information

I rotated them on flights to Venice and Edinburgh and on my hour-long train commutes to and from work. I also found the flatter back section meant it doesn’t push your head forward when you’re flying – a problem that chunkier pillows sometimes create. The products or services listed have been selected independently by journalists after hands-on testing or sourcing expert opinions. I like how it gives you a comfortable surface to lean against – especially if you have a window seat. It is also one of the smallest and lightest pillows we tested, easily packing away in an included stuff sack that clips to any luggage on a carabiner.

Although Sunany's design offers a variety of sleeping positions (and, indeed, is surprisingly comfortable for side sleeping), the overall large size of this inflatable pillow makes it a bit unruly to move around unless you have an entire aisle to yourself. The key feature of this product is its strapping to a fixed object (the head rest of your plane seat) so you support your neck/cheeks on something that doesn't move with you as you doze off. And when we could lean against a hard surface, the J-Pillow offered excellent head, neck and front-facing/chin support. However, this trend is far from an absolute rule — sometimes more cost-effective options can offer better performance and exceptional value.

Unlike the shapes of other travel pillows, this one offers versatility, providing both neck and lumbar support. Our expert travel team developed a set of comprehensive metrics that are weighted based on the most important characteristics. It has a very similar look and feel to the Cabeau, with a memory foam filling, the raised neck support and the adjustable rope lock at the front to help keep your head upright. I always struggle with hotel pillows (they’re often too big and fluffy), but the Snoooze feels firm yet squidgy and helped me get proper deep sleep during a hotel stay in Greece recently.

Breathability: We noted whether the pillows felt breathable and cool to the touch as well as if they tended to trap heat. I like that it comes with a handy snap strap to tie it onto hand luggage, which is useful as my only criticism is that it’s not as compact as some travel pillows.Designed with internal support to keep the head upright while asleep, the pillow keeps your head in a more comfortable, ergonomic position. It inflates to the classic U shape, but with a style of raised neck support that more and more inflatable pillows use these days. Not only is the Cabeau Evolution S3 one of the most comfortable travel pillows we tested, it is also one of the most packable.

The new patent-pending Seat Strap System (S3) keeps your head from falling forward by attaching to the airplane seat wings.Follow our adventures as we discover hidden gems, amazing landscapes, or cute things to do in Japan. We've also got your other holiday packing essentials covered, from the best packing cubes and the best fashion luggage brands, to the best crinkle swimsuits, airport outfits and after sun lotions. ECO-FRIENDLY FABRIC: The Evolution Earth’s pillow cover is made from RPET fabric, made from recycled plastic bottles, but you’d never guess that by how buttery soft it feels.

It feels breathable and soft on the skin, so along with the memory foam, is very comfortable on the whole. The fully adjustable shape means it provides 360° support – whether you're on the window seat or the middle seat – providing neck, chin, head and lumbar support. Otherwise, the Cabeau is an excellent travel pillow that most people will find very comfortable to use when flying. Even though it is one of the more substantial memory foam pillows we tested, the Cabeau Evolution S3 packs up into a remarkably small package.

This is especially annoying if you frequent public transit, considering that the Ostrichpillow is designed to lean against seats and windows. The Ecosafeter travel pillow is a memory foam style with a slight “hump” shape that’s designed to help relax the Cervical spine. The market is surprisingly varied, with travel pillows for long flights, camping and inflatable options – but which is best for you? Like the Cabeau S3 and Ostrichpillow Go Neck, it comes with a sturdy (though less compact) travel case that clips to your luggage. Over many years of travel, both have sought inexpensive solutions to improve the comfort of their trips.
