Camping Pillows

I know, a fairly mundane topic but where else can I get the best info? DD is going on her first school trip soon and they have to take a sleeping bag and pillow. I have just realised that taking a pillow off the bed is silly and too big and bulky. I've looked at Amazon, Blacks and other stuff on-line but there's nothing as good as a recommendation.....?

We have tried a few camping pillows but nothing compares to your own proper pillow!
Can she take one from home that is slightly smaller perhaps. At least you know then that she will sleep well

Just take a square cushion (i.e like a scatter cushion off the sofa), has the feel of a pillow but half the size.

OK, thanks for the advice. I'm off right now to finalise the packing. I had thought of a cot pillow but didn't get round to getting one. Had what I hope is a flash of inspiration, bought some bungee straps from the cycle shop to "bind" the sleeping bag.
