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

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!

Kept my head in one spot and great neck support for my long trip from US to China. Wasn't falling onto my seat neighbor and my neck wasn't compressed during the flight and didn't hurt when we landed. Definitely recommend!! Thought the padding was too supportive and was too high but after using it, it did a great job and provided so much support and held my head up through rough air. Loved how the straps fit around the Comfort+ headrests on Delta and the back of the support is flat so you can sit comfortably.

This Cabeau pillow came in second place in my comparison. I also tried BCozzy and Wander Plus. All 3 are flat enough on the back to fit against the seat back without pushing the head forward, and provide some sort of chin support, and have carrying bags. The Wander Plus was best because 1) It wraps around to support the chin very well; 3) is firm enough to do the job; 4) has a washable cover; and 5) Has an adequate carrying bag with a caribiner. The Cabeau was a close second for me. The feel of it was very good, firm but still softer than the Wander Plus, and the carrying bag was better quality and the straps to attach to the airline seat are a plus (depending on the type of seat). I chose the Wander Plus instead because the chin support strap on the Cabeau was too soft and didn't support my chin as well, and important feature. The BCozzy was just too big for my neck, even on the tightest fit, and my chin kept falling down (my neck is 13" around). It was also too soft for good support and the cover was not removable (the whole thing goes in the wash). This Cabeau has straps to attach to the seat and a better carrying bag with a zipper. I only chose the other item because the Cabeau chin strap wasn't firm enough. I have not tested any of these on a plane yet, just evaluated them in my car. I will update my review after my upcoming plane ride.

By far my favorite neck pillow. I was hesitant to spend so much on a pillow, but it is definitely worth it. I get much better sleep on flights now because of this pillow. It’s very comfortable and actually supports your head so you can relax on the pillow.

Just used this pillow on two separate 10+ hours flights and was able to get some proper rest. It also worked great on long train rides. The reason it worked so well for me is because the pillow can be attached to the seat which means I wont be startled awake by falling forwards or sideways, it keeps you in place. I also loved that it comes with its own case so it can be protected and not exposed to the elements and germs at airports and other places while you carry it, which is something that always bothered me with other pillows. It’s very lightweight and you can roll it in the case and attach the case to your suitcase or bag then wash both the case and pillow cover after each use. Highly recommend and I loved it so much I am in the process of buying more as presents for family members.

I wanted to love this thing after reading the glowing reviews, but it just didn't live up to the hype. Out of the box it does a good job of keeping your head upright to avoid the "head bob" effect as well as provides slightly better support than your standard neck pillow, until it breaks. One of the straps that attaches the pillow to the headrest ripped the first time I used it (overnight flight from Newark to Barcelona). Once the straps is gone it's no better than a standard neck pillow. Bummer
