Pillow for toddler? When / what

My toddler 16months old sleeps with soft fluffy blankets bit recently I've found that he's been sort of making a ball out them to give him a sort of pillow. Now if he wakes in the night I have to put him back on his makeshift pillow when he is settled. So I I feel he wants a pillow! Nhs guidance says ok for a pillow after 12months.
When did others give babies pillow?
Where do I even get a toddler pillow!
He's in a floor bed amd sleeps in a sleep sack.
Thanks

IKEA do toddler pillows and duvets. We gave our son one at about 20 months. Then swapped the sleeping bag for a duvet a couple of months later.

You can get toddler pillows in Asda. They’re just really thin and flat. Think I gave my daughter one about 18 months old x

Toddler pillow, they're tiny big enough for them to feel a pillow 😁 should be fine on one now

Both of mine had the Ikea toddler pillow & duvet not long after 12 months as they hated the sleep sacks and made themselves little pillows with blankets/muslins too x

Ours have always used a toy like a squish mallow.
