Cabeau Evolution S3 Neck Pillow vs Ostrichpillow Go Neck Pillow
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Travel Pillows: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Evolution S3 is the only pillow here that attaches to the seat, which is what actually stops a head dropping forward, and it is backed by a lifetime warranty with a case in the box. The Ostrichpillow Go publishes more about its materials than anyone and packs down to 60 percent.
Cabeau Evolution S3 Neck Pillow
Buy itThe only one anchored to the seat, with a lifetime warranty and a case included.
- The Seat Strap System wraps around the headrest of a plane, theatre or gaming seat so the pillow is held by the seat rather than by your neck, which Cabeau says eliminates head drop and lateral bobblehead movement.
- Ergonomic memory foam with raised side supports and a flat back, so it does not push your head forward the way a bulky U-shaped pillow does, plus an adjustable sliding front clasp for fit.
- A travel case is included, the cover is removable and machine washable, and the pillow carries a lifetime warranty with registration.
- The memory foam insert cannot be machine washed, only wiped with a damp cloth and air dried.
- Cabeau warns against storing it compressed for more than a month, or it may not return to shape.
- No dimensions, packed size or weight are published.
Ostrichpillow Go Neck Pillow
Buy itNamed foam, certified fabrics, published dimensions and the best packing of the four.
- A BASF memory foam core, named to a manufacturer rather than described as memory foam, with all materials Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified.
- Compresses to 60 percent of its size for packing, with published dimensions of 28 by 30 by 17 centimetres and an adjustable fit.
- A removable machine-washable cover specified as 92 percent rayon and 8 percent spandex, backed by a 2-year warranty and 100-day returns.
- A 2-year warranty against a lifetime warranty on the Cabeau.
- Like the Cabeau, only the cover washes; the memory foam core does not.
- No weight is published.
