This is the classic version

and this is their new upgraded s3 version.

So I'm gonna have Crystal explain her version first

and then I'll show you the new upgraded one.

Yeah, so I got this years ago. Probably five years ago now.

I was in search for the most comfortable travel pillow

because I cannot sleep on the plane without a good travel pillow

and it took me years until I found this one.

This is the perfect travel pillow for you

if you have trouble sleeping on the plane like me

this will definitely help you. I swear!

This definitely helped me out, it's helped Candy out and I passed it on to many of my friends

and it's helped them out.

Yes, it's a little bulky but the comfort is just - it's like none other.

It surpasses all the other travel pillows that I've tried out, that Candy's tried out

this definitely is the one that we go to all the time.

I actually before - because Crystal had this before me

and before I bought this - because I couldn't really borrow it and try it -

I ordered five different travel pillows from Amazon

I love Amazon because you can just return stuff if you don't like it.

So I ordered five different ones and sure enough that one was my favorite

so I returned the other four and I kept that one.

If you wanna know the reasons why I didn't like the other ones we do have a blog post on that,

so we'll link it below

but anyhoo... moving on to -

But yeah, I mean, same as Candy - I did try other ones

there was one called like the turtle or something where it's just one-sided

and it's plastic and it's kinda like a wrap-around thing.

I mean, some people swear by that but I tried it and I just did not like it.

I couldn't do it. I could not do it.

There was no comfort in it...

um, yeah so anyway

I always go back to the Cabeau pillow.

But yeah I love this so much because it has all the support that I need.

My biggest problem with sleeping on the plane is my neck.

So it bobs back and forth

and a lot of the travel pillows just don't have enough support for me

to actually lean in on it.

So this travel pillow - again, it's a little bit bulky

but it really helps because if I'm leaning to the side

then I don't have to go that much like this with the other travel pillows

this actually supports you.

And it supports you really well.

It almost looks like it's choking you, but it's not.

It's not at all.

But that's why it's so comfortable because there's no space in between.

It's just right there. You don't have to move your neck at all.

All the support is there and the memory foam is great.

Yes, it is great.

And you can snap it here so that you won't lose it

or you could attach it to your bag.

Also the reason why I like this one too was because you could take off the cover

unzip it and wash it because I hate germs.

I cannot stand it on a plane when I -

Especially with so many germs on planes.

It's definitely touching all these other germs on your seat so I feel gross when I get home.

So I'm so glad that you could take this off and wash it.

I always wash it.

And then it still stays in shape. It comes out brand new after I wash it

and this one also has a little pocket if you want to put some - I've never actually used this pocket but...

It's a tiny pocket tho. I don't know what you'd put in there.

I've seen people - like the pictures suggest putting a phone in here but...

No I don't think so.

I don't think it'll - no.

I think the phone is for version - so between this one and this one

there's another version before this one and I actually have that version

and that was the one I reviewed in the blog post that I wrote.

So it was like basically it had all the same features

a removable case - we can wash it.

It had a pocket but the pocket was much bigger

so I actually was able to fit my phone in there

but the main difference between that one and the next version was that it came with a travel bag

but it was a very cheap travel bag that I never used it.

Yeah and this one did not come with the travel bag.

Again, I got this years ago so it didn't have a travel bag yet.

And that was one of my problems with this.

Because I kinda had to make...

this is the bag I would use called a baggu

but I would just put it in here so that it wouldn't touch everything else

and I would just tie it to my bag but then this was kind of a problem for me too

because then the flight attendants would think I would have 3 bags

but I actually didn't, so then I was like, ok fine, I'll just put this on and ride on the...

And the main reason why you want it in a bag is when it's going through security

because you have to put it on the...

Yeah it's touching everything.

And I've heard that - it is the most... there's so many germs on that so I do not...

So I had to protect it with something. Anyway...

So with my travel pillow, it's actually an upgrade from the one that's in between that's not here.

So I actually had an upgraded version of this and when I was going to Japan last year

I had it on my suitcase and because the bag sucked on that travel pillow...

I really hated the bag that they provided for it. It was like this really cheap plastic bag

and it didn't snap on or anything so I just had to kind of lightly tie it around my suitcase

and when I was getting out of the car, it fell off into the car. Luckily, it fell into the car

but I didn't realize that it had fallen off my suitcase until I was way past security and I was like, Noooooo!!

Nooooo!!

Because I was going from LAX to Tokyo and I did not want to be on that long-haul flight without a travel pillow.

So luckily, when I went to one of the stores inside the airport Cabeau was there

and they had an upgraded version from what I had

and the upgraded features were amazing.

One, the bag was way better.

The bag is like this - it's circular and look!

It's got a nice snap-on.

This is exactly what I wanted in the travel pillow bag

And another upgraded feature that wasn't on the other pillow or on this one

is the velcro strap. So this is a really cool feature - I wouldn't even think of -

I mean I never even thought about it when I was - I don't know when you're flying - it's just...

I don't even know how they came up with it but if you notice on your seat

there's this little attached headrest

and so what you do is you...

since this is adjustable - because I've used this on a few airlines now

and every airline has - the size is a little bit different.

So you basically attach this to your headrest and that way when you're sleeping

even if you move, it keeps you in place.

Because there are times when all of a sudden when I'm sleeping, my head will really tilt low

and it kinda wakes me up

but when this is strapped to your seat or your pillow, it really keeps you in place

so I really sleep well with the velcro attached to the back of my head rest

and another great thing about having this

is if you have to get up to go to the bathroom

you just kind of slip out of it and it stays attached to your chair.

I know there's been plenty of times where...

because I don't like wearing this to the bathroom -

I'll put it on my seat then it falls down or something.

That's definitely happened to me and I'm just like, Ugh, no, not on the floor!

I know because you put this around you and you're just like, Ew, I don't know what kind of germs are on it now.

So yeah, so definitely the adjustable strap - velcro strap

that goes to the headrest attachment on the airline seats is a really, really good feature.

And it's really cool too - on the side here

there is a pocket to stick your travel pillow back into - so you don't lose this.

That's another thing too is - I'm sure you will easily lose this if you don't store it right away after you take it out

so I highly recommend using this little pouch and storing it.

And then when you get off your flight, it's really easy to stick it back in here.

There's even a little mesh pouch here. I don't use it but I guess if you want to store extra things you can.

At first I was like, I don't even know if this is gonna fit in here - hahaha.

Yeah.

It looks tricky.

And they have instructions and you know what it was? It was so simple. You just roll it. Haha

You just roll it up.

Just roll, roll, roll.

Just roll.

Roll it up!

And... just goes right in here.

Put it in the bag!

Hahaha!

And that's how you do it.

Step 1. Step 2.

It's fairly easy.

Yeah.

It's definitely better than the other bag that I just did not like

so that's it!

And then I just put it on my suitcase like that.

Tadaaa!

But yeah, when I saw this - when Candy had this

I was like, I need to get one now.

So we just went to London and before we went to the airport I was like

I'm gonna get that pillow today because I'm sick of not having a bag for my pillow.

That was my main sell because again, I hate carrying this thing around

because it doesn't have a proper attachment,

it's not even - I mean it fits, but then it looks like another bag

so you have three bags instead of two so then the flight attendants will call it out which I hate

so then I would just have to wear it around me when I board and I didn't like doing that either

so this bag was a huge sell for me.

So right when we went to the airport, I went to go look for one and I found it.

So I got an all-black Cabeau upgraded pillow and it was worth every single penny because I had my bag.

Because I don't know if you know this, but it is super hard to find a travel pillow bag.

I looked everywhere for it for about a year and I couldn't find it.

Not even on Amazon. Amazon didn't even have it and I find everything on Amazon. They didn't even have it.

I looked on Cabeau. They did have one. But...

Oh, I didn't know they sold separate travel bags.

They did, but they were sold out and they've been sold out so I don't even know if they ever restocked

but I just could not find one.

Anyway, found that or I saw Candy have it and I just had to go buy it

because I was just sick of not having a bag.

That was that one thing because I hate having germs on my pillow.

Yeah I don't like it either. I'm so glad these are removable as well.

Cause I hate having a dirty pillow. Especially on - it's so dirty on flights

I've always heard it's really dirty.

I did want to mention the price points are a little bit different.

This one obviously does cost more than the classic one

so if this one is not in your price range and you don't really care about the bag

or you don't necessarily want the straps

this is still a great travel pillow because the structure is still the same.

Yeah, it still feels the same. It still works the same.

It just has the upgraded feature of these straps and it comes with a bag.

So I think - and they're both on Amazon.

I just happened to get mine at the travel store at the airport because I needed one right away

but you can buy them - you can go to Cabeau's site or on Amazon.

So it's about a 10 to 20 dollar difference. It depends on when you buy it.

Sometimes this upgraded version has a discount which right now they do.

I think it does right now because yeah, I think on Amazon sometimes they sell it for $49.99

and I think right now it's $39.99 and I think that one's $29.99. Something like that.

Around that range.

Yeah around that range. But yeah, I mean depending on your budget

or if you like the added upgraded features, they're both great pillows.

Yeah they really are. I mean, Candy always rests so well with these pillows.

I mean, I do too. I cannot go on a plane - especially a long-haul flight without these travel pillows.

Candy, whenever we're traveling together, she is just knocked out in like 5 seconds.

I know, she's on her laptop for like hours.

I can't even watch the movies half the time. I fall asleep, so...

So Candy always comfortably sleeps right away with this travel pillow.

Yeah, I have a routine when I get on my flights - well, the long-haul flights - I put on my travel socks,
