Syd always has something to sleep on. During the day when she is crated I put an old sheet in there and she makes a little nest out of it. I hit up all of my family for old sheets and I bought a few from the salvation army store. She has about 15 sheets and she ocassionally messes on them so I have to do "Sydney laundry" twice a week. But it's worth it because I want her to be comfortable.
For the pillow...when I bought my self a new one recently I took the old (squished down) one and wrapped it in a garbage bag and taped up the opening. Then I put in an old pillow case and put it in her bed under her sheet. I wrap the sheet down under the pillow so that she can't get to the plastic garbage bag to chew on it.
She loves her pillow. Plus if you put a sheet or big towel in there, when she does pee in her cage it makes less of a mess b/c it gets soaked up. If they just do it on the plastic floor then they step all in it.
