I can fully vouch for 'headliner' - I've started using it to line the mascot heads that I build, and it definitely makes for a very soft and comfortable lining inside my heads. I loved the feel so much in the first all-foam head that I used it on, that I went back and lined an older helmet-based mascot head with it, including using headliner to replace the worn out foam pads that had come with the helmet itself. Funny thing is that until I saw Steve's post above, I didn't even realize that headliner is used in cars - what I have I found at a Hancock Fabrics store in the home decor section, next to the various flocked and marine vinyl fabrics. Pretty inexpensive, too.
