I didnt have a foam roller, but I did have a pool noodle, so that's what is the core of my wee travel bolster. Pool noodle, another chunk of foam (pool noodles aren't very big) and then a nice thick layer of felt and covers. The whole thing then gets shoved in a shoebox. (Between this and my homemade bobbins, I'm a poster child for bobbin lace on the cheap! But it works!)
It is very light. It loves to wander off on me, but my cookie pillow is also just ethafoam with a cover, so I'm used to light pillows. I /love/ being able to set it in a totebag with a flat bottom and carry it around without two moments thought about the weight of it though. So I'm all for the plan. It's been working fine for me.
