Does a pillow count as a personal item Spirit?

Pillows are considered personal items and can be brought on the plane as long as they meet the airline's size requirements for personal items. Spirit Airlines has specific guidelines for personal items, which must fit within dimensions of 18 x 14 x 8 inches (45 x 35 x 20 cm) including handles and wheels.
