Where did you get a pillow for your toddler? I know that a small travel size pillow is recomended, but I never seen one for sale.

We got a small pillow from the fabric store and my mom made little pillow cases.

I have gotten DD two of these memory foam pillows at Babies R Us:

They are awesome. You do have to find small pillow cases for them. I had some smaller pillow cases from a previous set of toddler pillows I'd ordered from Mr. Bobbles Blankets. The pillows didn't hold up well, but the pillow cases have been great.

I bought travel pillows at joanne's fabrics.

They have 2 packs of the travel pillows at Walgreens. I just use a regular pillowcase folded and tucked in. We have now progressed to a standard size pillow though, and DS does fine.

Toddler bedding typically contains a pillowcase for a standard-size pillow. That's what I plan to use.

When DS' preschool requested a "small" pillow for nap time, we bought a travel pillow and cases at REI.

DD1 sleeps on (or next to more often than not) a firm standard size pillow.

I got a super thin pillow (about half the width of a regular pillow) at Ikea. I'm not sure if they still carry them.

We just use our old, flat (and not able to be fluffed back up LOL) down-filled standard-sized pillows.

Ikea makes great, flat ones in their baby section. They're hard to find b/c they're rolled up. My mom made a fleece case for it. I've also found travel pillows at Target.

I bought this one for DD from One Step Ahead: http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=6774&cmSource=Search

She never cared for it though.

I got a couple from Mr. Bobbles Blankets when I bought him some toddler blankets. I love that I can toss them into the washer/dryer when I need to.

We got ours at IKEA. They sell a toddler pillow and comforter set, and really cute pillow cases and comforter covers in the Children's IKEA section.

I got my daughter a small Pillow Pet for Christmas and she loves it! Just the right size for toddlers.

I found one at Burlington's Coat Factory. It's 14 X 20 and was $3.99. It was back in the travel section.

Just came back from Walgreen's where I got mine for $3.99, too, I think. It came with a white pillow case (though it's thin, I'm assuming), but you can also buy additional cases for about $3 for a pack of two (or two packs, 4 total, for $5). It was in a random spot, on the bottom shelf by the school supplies (tagboard, etc.). Also had some fleece blankets and other blankets by it.

Both of my kids have that one and love it! My son (at 5-1/2) has finally graduated to a relatively flat full size pillow.

When DS was almost 2 we finally got him a pillow from Pottery Barn Kids. We lived nowhere close to Ikea at the time. Now that he is 6 he has a thin pillow from Ikea. He has hardly used his pillow as a toddler, and still sleep next to it most of the time. Pillow is used mostly as a buffer between his head and headboard. So I don't worry about it being 'perfect'.
