CabeauEvolution Classic Neck Support Pillow - Neck Pillow for Traveling - Memory Foam Airplane Pillow with 360-Degree Comfort - Head & Chin Support Pillows for Sleeping Upright - (Navy)

I rated the pillow as a 5 even though I had to modify the pillow slightly to fit me personally. Nothing wrong with the pillow. My ears stick out so the raised portion around the top pushed up against my ears preventing me from wearing earphones comfortably. I removed the pillow from it's cover and used a pair of scissors to trim the top to suit me and it works great. I like to sit in my recliner and listen to music and drift off to sleep at night. In the past I would often wake up with a neck pain. This neck pillow eliminated the neck pain. Only problem now is, due to the neck pillow comfort, I sleep longer than I planned to.

I’ve never tried a pillow like this before. I have a thin neck so it’s always been a struggle to find a pillow to snug me quite like this one. I love that you can adjust the snug to your liking. The length is amazing as well. I am a side sleeper so naturally I bend my neck when I fall asleep and with this pillow, since is tall, I don’t wake up with a stiff neck, it does the lift for me while I sleep. And last, the back of the pillow is genius because is flat and doesn’t give you the discomfort of leaning forward while you lay on it. Although I do have to say, I feel like I have to be extra careful with the backside of the pillow because is so thin compared to the sides of it and I feel like one wrong move and I could tear the foam. So just beware of that.

**I edited this from a 2 star review to a 4 star review. I emailed Cabeau about the torn case and they sent a new one right out to me free of charge. So they made it right. I also suspect, but do not know for certain, that the pillow I received was a return that Amazon sent me. This would make my experience with the pillow more of an Amazon issue than a Cabeau one.**Pros: the memory foam is comfy. And the clasp is a nice feature that helps secure your head when in use.Cons: the fabric is very thin and weak. After just a little bit of use mine was torn at the seams. So it doesn't seem rugged enough for extensive travel.It doesn’t come with a case. Because of the memory foam, there was potential to provide us a case that compressed the pillow down to almost nothing. But without one, you’re forced to either dangle it from a bag (thereby picking up airport and hotel nastiness) or take up precious real estate in your bag.It’s an absolute dust and hair magnet. Another thing not helped by not coming with a case.If you like to wear noise canceling headphones on flights like I do, unless you’re bigger with a long neck, odds are you’ll have to choose between wearing one or the other. Contouring the pillow just a tad could have allowed for headphone use to further aid in sleep, but no such design feature exists on the pillow.

As my husband declined, he slept more and was not able to hold his head up in a comfortable position With this pillow, he was able to comfortably doze as well as watch TV and interact with people. The cover was easily washed. The pillow was easy to apply and adjust

I tried the Evolution 3 by this company and it's pretty good. The design is very good and the neck support is probably the best out there. What I didn't like was the thin, cheap fabric and cheap zipper. The zipper is very difficult to use and almost broke the first time I tried it. For $40 this shouldn't be happening. I also didn't care for the headrest straps. I found them annoying, and unusable for a short (under five feet) family member.So, I tried the Evolution Classic. It has most of the good features of the Evolution 3, without the straps, and with a more plush fabric. But, importantly, what they left out is a storage pouch. That's inexcusable. What this means is you have to carry this relatively bulky pillow around fully expanded, taking up a ton of room in your carry-on/backpack, or having to attach it to the outside of your carry-on. For $30, the company should have included a pouch with the pillow (almost every one else does), but they cheaped up and didn't. This pretty much forces you to shell out another $10 or so to get something to pack it in. As a consequence, you now have one of the more expensive travel pillows on the market. It also has the same cheap zipper as the Evolution 3, so be prepared for the hassle of it getting stuck or breaking.Do I recommend the Evolution Classic? Only if the lack of pouch to pack it in doesn't bother you. Otherwise, the Evolution 3 is a better deal if you're OK with the negatives I mentioned. Personally, I'm not bothering with either pillow, preferring another brand's superior design and quality.

Great size and comfort !

My wife and I tried really hard to give this pillow a chance and brought it with us on several trips with flights ranging from 6 to 13 hours that we would be sleeping on.All the great reviews and doctor recommendation made us believe this pillow would be perfect. Unfortunately, it is difficult to sleep with for several reasons: it had a higher profile than normal pillows [which in theory would give more support, but instead makes it difficult to get comfortable], it becomes very warm due to the memory foam [ which several times made me toss it to the floor as it was overheating and sleep with the chair head rest instead], and it is very thick around the back of your neck, pushing your head forward further making it uncomfortable and difficult to sleep with.Beyond the discomfort with sleeping, this pillow is terrible for traveling. I've had other travel pillows that would fold up and condense in a carrier bag or with straps, but this pillow has no such features and you are therefore left with a giant pillow that took up a 1/4 of my suitcase and ended up just being a cushion for different gifts we purchased.Skip the hype and skip this pillow!
