We’re giving you the ultimate review of the best neck pillows from Cabeau. As long-time fans of Cabeau, we were excited to try out their newest styles to see if they were worth the upgrade.

A review of three new Cabeau Travel Pillow styles: Evolution Earth, Evolution Cool, and Evolution X.

As a quick intro, I (Candy) am a devoted user of the TNE S3, which has a supportive memory foam design and an attachable seat strap. Crystal loves her Evolution Classic, but she’s been itching to upgrade to one of the latest models. Let’s see which pillow won her over!

Evolution Earth

The Evolution Earth is the eco-friendly cousin to the TNE S3. It’s got a very similar design, but with a few key differences. First, say goodbye to the seat strap because this pillow doesn't have one. The biggest and best surprise, however, is the fabric. Made from recycled plastic bottles, the RPET fabric is shockingly soft and buttery which makes it much more plush than the TNE S3.

But the real game-changer? The patent-pending chinstrap. This simple feature offers a customizable, secure fit that keeps your head perfectly in place, which is a must-have for those long, transcontinental flights.

Just like its predecessors, the Evolution Earth's ergonomic memory foam offers superior support with its raised sides and a flattened back. This unique shape gives you 360 degrees of cloud-like comfort. And, because we all know travel can get a little grimy, the removable and washable cover ensures your pillow stays fresh and ready for your next adventure.

Evolution Cool

Calling all hot sleepers! The Evolution Cool is your new best friend. Designed with breathable vents, this pillow prevents you from overheating and sweating through your journey. I’m usually chilly on flights, so this isn't a huge issue for me, but I can totally see how these vents would be a game changer for those who run hot.

This pillow’s slim, flattened back aligns your spine, helping your back muscles relax while you nap on a super soft memory foam core. Like the others, the cover is removable and washable. And when you’re not using it, the pillow squishes down into a compact case that you can easily attach to your backpack or carry-on for hands-free transport.

Evolution X

Meet the king of customization: the Evolution X. Cabeau spent six years researching this pillow to create the most adjustable and comfortable neck pillow on the market. With three ways to adjust, this pillow truly adapts to you:

  • A one-time strap adjustment in the back

  • The ability to shift the pillow lobes up or down

  • A one-handed front closure adjustment

I’ve never seen a travel pillow with so much customization. Whether you have a wider, slimmer, or longer neck than average, the "Fit-To-You" adjustability of the Evolution X ensures you get the perfect support.

Because of its unique shape, the Evolution X comes with its very own compact tote bag. And don’t worry, even with its different design, the cover is still removable and washable, so you can keep it clean for every trip.

Cabeau Deluxe Travel Neck Pillow Case

Cabeau pillows always come with a carrying bag, but the new style is a huge improvement. My old TNE S3 bag's fabric would tear over time, but the new bag is made of a thicker, more stretchy material that feels way more durable. It also has a handy mesh pocket on the outside, and I love the subtle embossed logo. It's much more stylish than the big, white font of the old bags. (Just a heads-up: the unique-shaped Evolution X won't fit in this new bag.)

Our Final Verdict

After testing all three of Cabeau's newest neck pillows, our clear favorite is the Evolution Earth. Its combination of ergonomic memory foam and that incredibly plush, eco-friendly fabric is exactly what we look for in a travel pillow. Since neither of us needs ventilation or extensive adjustability, the Evolution Earth hits the sweet spot for comfort and support.
