let's face it it can be hard to get good
sleep on a plane especially if you're in economy a good travel pillow can make all the
difference because they support your neck and give you a comfortable place to rest your head
these are three of our favorite travel pillows from Cabo turtle and Ostrich Pillow this is the
Cabo Evolution S3 it's a traditional u-shaped travel pillow and it's really comfortable
around the neck the memory film is firm enough to support your neck but it won't dig
into
your cheeks like we've seen with a lot of other travel pillows we found this pillow works
best for leaning your head to the side when you sleep or when you have a flat service next to you
like the side of an airplane so when you put the pillow on you'll want to use these compression
straps here to snap the pillow into place and then you can adjust it to get it nice and snug
around your neck you know you immediately feel it's really comfortable and also this memory
foam is really good at kin
d of dissipating heat over time but one downside to this travel
pillow is that there's no support for the front of your neck so if you tend to slump forward it
won't stop your neck so to compress this travel pillow you just need to roll it up and once it's
rolled up you can use its included travel bag here to zip the top of the case once you have
your travel pillow packed up you can use this little hook on here to attach it right to your
bag the Cabo Evolution S3 is available in four colors
and you can buy it for $40 on Amazon or on
Cabo's website the turtle travel pillow provides excellent NE support and essentially fits like
a scarf around around your neck it's also the smallest and most portable travel Polo we found
so far to put it on you just need to align this brace part with your neck and then from here
you just wrap around until it's snug and the velcro will attach and you can sleep as normal
or at least as normal as you can at an airplane so when you're wearing the t
urtle travel pillow
you know obviously it's very comfortable to start it's this fleece material is super soft um again
almost like a scarf but at the same time because it is kind of like a scarf it will get a little
bit hot in an airplane cabin so again if you're sensitive to heat that could be an issue one thing
to take note of with this uh turtle travel pillow is that you have to kind of pick which side you
want to lean your neck to cuz this neck brace can only be on either you the left o
r the right
side if you're someone that likes to you know move your neck kind of back and forth when you
sleep this pillow probably won't work for you because you'll just fall to the other side this
pillow works well for taller people like myself and I'm around 6 ft tall but we have found that
some of our shorter reviewers um could feel the plastic brace on the inside poking their neck as
they were wearing this pillow so just keep that in mind before you purchase another big benefit
of the
turtle travel pillow is how easy it is to wash there's this little compartment here that
bcro shut but you just open it and you'll see the brace on the inside comes out it's just
this super light piece of plastic and you can just throw the rest of the turtle pillow which
is just this fleece and padding here into the washer the turtle pillow comes with an included
travel case and it's probably the easiest one to use out of all of them all you have to do
is just put the turtle pillow inside
of this bag and then squeeze out all the air and you
can velcro shut the turtle travel pill is a bit expensive at $60 but you might find that
it's worth it if you're looking for a super packable travel pillow and aren't super sensitive
to heat this is the ostrich go travel neck pillow and I found that this one provides typically
the most luxurious experience out of all of them it has a really breathable memory foam and
this jersey like material on the outside of the pillow that's super soft
um that continues
on the inside just in a different color the ostrich pillow has a unique design that gives
you 360 support around the pillow the memory foam and the inside of this pillow is very firm
but it's not too firm where it'll dig into your neck or to your chin I found that it fits very
comfortably even on Long flights putting this travel pillow on is super super easy just undo
the velcro put it on your neck and then you're good to go there's full support I can literally
move my n
eck like in a full 360 here and again for someone like me that kind of slouches forward
when sleeping this will catch my neck and give me some support it's extremely comfortable it almost
feels like uh just a normal pillow at home this pillow folds to about half of size we need use
the included travel case and roll the pillow in on itself and then give it a good squeeze to
fit it and then once you have your pillow in the travel case just compress it and it's
all good packed and ready to go
uh the only thing I will mention is that there's not like a
carabiner or a hook or anything to attach this travel case to the side of your backpack out of
the three pillows mentioned here the ostrich go is definitely my favorite the ostrich go
travel neck pillow is available for $60 on the manufacturer's website but is available
in six colors so you can pick one that best fits you so there you have it these are the
three best travel pillows we've tested and you know frankly they're all grea
t products you
just have to decide which one has the features that are important to you for all things
