Review on Doctor Recommended Cabeau Evolution S3 Memory Foam Neck Pillow For Travel With Attachment Straps - Ideal For Airplanes, Cars, Home, And Gaming - Steel by Cindy Foster

I've owned a number of travel pillows, starting with the standard U-shape. I found it quite uncomfortable for the exact reason pointed out by Cabeau - the padding at the back is so thick that it actually pitches your neck forward and leads to neck pain. I then tried the BCOZZY, which was fair but couldn't stay still between my head and shoulders and was prone to falling onto the dirty airplane carpet. Next up was the Turtl pillow, which was also pretty fair but provided moderate support to only one side. If you wanted to switch your head position, you literally had to undo the wrap, swap the neck brace to the other side and rewrap. It became annoying after a short while. Knowing I wasn't satisfied with what I currently own, I went in search of better options and found the Cabeau pillow. It did everything it advertised and for once I am satisfied with the product. Here are a number of things I like most:(1) I like the slim profile at the back of the neck, which felt incredibly comfortable and did not pitch my head forward.(2) I loved the fact that I could strap the pillow to my headrest without disturbing the person sitting behind me. When I got up to use the restroom, the pillow stayed securely (and sanitarily) fastened without risk of falling to the floor.(3) I loved that I could fasten the pillow with a connector at the front, which indeed helped to keep my head from pitching forward while I slept. I kept it unfastened while awake and it felt good to simply rest my head comfortably on the pillow, switching frequently from side to side without any necessary adjustments.(4) I used this pillow along with my Bose QC45 headphones and worried they wouldn't work well together, but I was wrong. My only complaint was that from time to time the band for the headphones would slip either forward or backward. I'm not sure how much that can be attributed to the pillow, rather than simply having a smaller head.(5) I found the foam INCREDIBLY soft and quite comfortable, while still providing adequate support.(6) I love that I can roll the pillow into a smaller size when not in use. ***JUST BE AWARE THAT YOU SHOULD NOT KEEP YOUR PILLOW ROLLED FOR LONGER THAN THREE WEEKS***(7) I love that it comes with a carrying case that includes straps for you to attach it to your luggage or other travel pieces.I can't think of any other ways to improve this pillow. This is the first time I've found a travel pillow that I love and don't feel the need to replace.
