I haven't
tried cotton or polyesther batting. Possibly several layers of cotton quilt
batting would work. But I would take a pin to the quilt store and test it --
try sticking the pin through several layers of batting to see how it feels.
Cotton batting might work OK, but I can remember the advice against
using polyester stuffing for pin cushions due to the effect it has on
the pins - can't remember if it is just dulling or blunting as well - in
which case use in a pillow would be equally bad for them.
I suspect that it would be possible to purchase a second roller for the
travel pillow - do they not use the size of roller that fits into a
block pillow? - if so, then I would buy and use two rollers alternately
to even out the wear - doing this has certainly extended the life of my
block pillow blocks, which I have had for donkey's years and not had to
replace yet - with no additional padding!
The travel roller pillow I use most is a Finnish one, which the roller
is made from tightly rolled carpet underlay (the recycled foam type) -
and is showing no sign of retaining its holes or wearing out, despite a
large amount of use over the last seven or eight years (I bought it the
year the OIDFA congress was at Nottingham).
