| I'd use the same thing. Sorry, I can't remember the name either.

| The best to use is Soft Touch Poly-fil Supreme, made by Fairfield. It is 100 percent polyester (very washable) and Non-Alergenic. It is also made in the USA! I am sure you will find it at Walmart. It comes in eight ounce bags as well as larger ones, but I don't know how easy the large ones are to find. When you are stuffing your pillow, feel the bunches of polyfil with your hands. If there are some areas that seen denser than others, pull those areas apart. I am sure you will love this filler and that your babies will, too. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | How are you putting this pillow together? Completely sewing the seams closed....or by tying? If you're tying I'd purchase a bed pillow to place inside so you can remove it for washing. Fiber fill tends to bunch all up if you wash it.

There are some other polyfils that are problematic. This one is not. | |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Cluster Stuff by Morning Glory was also suggested as never bunching up. Anyone familiar with that? |

| I make all my beds with a muslin or broadcloth cover with polyfill inside. And then I make a separate slip cover with a zipper or buttons in nice material. My beds last longer this way because I don't wash the whole bed every week. I wash the cover one week and then I wash the whole thing the next week. Also, if the bed insert wears out before the slip cover I just make a new bed insert.

| Breny, depending upon how thick you want the pillows... have you thought of Nufoam? It is a better alternative to foam cushions, NU-FoamŪ Densified Batting is a made of compressed layers of polyester fiber. It is very washable and if you use the thinner type, it dries fairly quidkly. |
