Traveling in itself can be a headache. But when you fall asleep in an already uncomfortable airplane seat without proper neck support, the headache you’ll have when you wake up will not make your day any better. Whether you’re traveling for spring break, a business trip, or anything in between, Cabeau offers the comfort you need while traveling. And Cabeau is constantly listening to its loyal fans and reiterating on it’s best selling neck pillows. According to Cabeau’s extensive customer insights, there are five key features travelers typically look for when shopping for the best travel pillows for airplanes.


  1. Neck Support & Ergonomics

One of the most common features travelers look for in a travel pillow to use on an airplane is something that prevents their head from bobbing or tilting uncomfortable. Memory foam is key in providing structured support.

  1. Comfort & Material

Soft, breathable, skin-friendly fabrics like velour, cooling mesh, or bamboo, are key in creating the comfortable experience travelers look for while on an airplane. 

  1. Portability

Many travelers report they’re looking for compact, foldable, or compressible pillows that pack into a small travel bag. And bonus points for carabiner clips or straps that attach the small travel bag to luggage.

  1. Customization & Adjustability

Adjustable toggles, straps and magnetic clasps for a secure fit are important because, as we all know, every body and neck is different. Finding a travel pillow that can adjust to your individual needs is key.

  1. Storage & Extras

We all get excited when we find secret pockets, and that’s true for travel pillows. Built-in pockets for earbuds or even AirTags are a big win. And bonus points if there’s a travel bag included.
