Dear Maureen,
I assume you're asking about a pst. cookie pillow. When this has happened
to me, I remove the cover and cut white felt - several thicknesses in
graduated sizes to mimic the shape of the pillow - and place over the
worn part of the pillow. Works like a charm and is an inexpensive
(or any other
colour) felt. If you need to buy the felt it would probably be as
expensive as buying a new polystyrene pillow. You just have to accept
that polystyrene isn't as durable or long lasting as chopped straw or
hay.
