DIY a Doll Sized Travel Pillow

Our American Girl doll demonstrates her travel pillow. She sometimes
 wears it while sleeping in the car or on an airplane. 

        A Neck pillow or travel pillow is shaped like a horseshoe to fit around the neck, mostly used by travelers to keep their necks straight while sleeping sitting up on board planes or other vehicles. It is a type of an orthopedic pillow designed to correct body positioning in bed or while lying on any other surface. Its design conforms to orthopedic guidelines to ensure the right placement and support of one or more specific parts of the body to provide safe and healthy rest to the sleeper.

       Pillows have been traditionally made of foam and fiber, but other types now exist, such as pillows made of memory foam, a heat sensitive material that can acquire the shape of the body lying upon it. It may or may not recover its original shape immediately when the body is removed from the pillow. We made this travel pillow version using foam cut to fit our doll's neck. If you do not have foam to shape, you could also make a similar version by stuffing a fabric C version with cotton.
