Abstract: A plush travel pillow with elongated arms provides a plush backing with the upper ends of a pair of arms affixed to the lower front corners thereof. The overall size of the pillow may be reduced for use by children of various ages, or in the context of airline seats or other coach travel seats. The arms are preferably substantially elongated for the user's comfort and directed orthogonally to the front surface, as distinct from the more obliquely angled arms of a conventional arm pillow. The pillow may be provided with ornamental features resembling a popular cartoon character, zoo or farm animal, or other children's character, or some other shape of interest to children or adults.
