Like most travelers, I purchased a travel pillow. You know the variety – soft, black fabric stuffed with a filling. The little pillow fits around your neck, allowing you to rest while traveling. That’s all well and good, until the filling starts making my head itch! I don’t know exactly what’s inside of those pillows, but it’s not really conducive to rest. Aside from the itchy factor, it’s too full to allow your head to feel comfortable.

With all the travel we’ve been doing, I knew I had to do something to allow myself to be more comfortable in the car or airplane. Looking at the travel pillows, I realized that it would be simple to create one myself.
