Amazon have this very popular travel pillow back along with the more ventilated version. Highly reviewed but haven't tried mine

Have you tried the cool? I want to buy it but not sure if it's better
The spongy material in my Evolution became rock hard after leaving it in the garage between trips. No such problem with the $10 Kmart one I replaced it with.
For me, my chin falls through the opening. I prefered the pillow that wraps around your neck to keep it upright.
You can close the front - unless it's too big for your face shape?
no matter how much you tighten the string, overtime my head just falls between the gap
Spin it around, way more comfortable and you’ll sleep much better
Buy the cool version and rotate it 45 degrees
I purchased both versions - I find the neck ridge is too high and hard on the cool version and not very comfortable and I find this version gets too hot.
The heat factor was why I stopped using mine, it was a really good pillow but too warm. I don’t bother with using a pillow now
Since we are on this topic, can anyone share their user experience on Trtl travel pillow to justify the price ? I prefer something takes up less space.
I don't have the Cabeau but I have the Trtl. I got it as a gift because my friend hated the Trtl and preferred the Cabeau more. I quite enjoy the Trtl because it keeps my neck straight and forces me to sleep against the seat… and no neck pains for slouching forward.
I recommend you to try the Trtl first if possible. Works for me but not everyone.
Cabeau comes with a storage bag that helps roll up the pillow to a size of a mug. It's very portable and good price point. We chose this over the trtl because there's really no other use for the trtl aside from sleeping sitting straight.
My 'Cabeau The Neck's Evolution S3 Neck Pillow' arrived from Amazon yesterday. It is the one with the chin strap, the feature I really wanted coz I can never sleep on a plane. It was $54.00 and now I see it is down to $46.58 as a "Boxing Day Special". I am debating if it is worth doing a return and re-ordering later, as my OS trip is not until March.
Has anyone used the one with the chin strap?
Edit: Geez, even the 'MyHalos' eyeshades I bought at the same time are cheaper.
Have had both the cool and Evo s3:
Pros:
- Super supportive of the neck
- Wrap up into a travel case thing that clips onto luggage
Cons:
- Both are uncomfortable if you like wearing overear headphones, they come in the way and push my headphones up
- S3 gets warm around the neck.
Out of both i'd say the cool was better but recommend to try before you buy!
Just bought the Cool version. Hopefully I like it, I have the Evo s3 but since I get warm very quickly, I thought I might as well get the Cool. I haven't even tried my Evo s3…but i'll cry about it later
Maybe it’s just me but I find these to be massive and uncomfortable. Couldn’t sleep with them at all 💸
These are a must and will never go back!
