Question from Jennifer Herman

Dear Readers,

I’d like to have new slipcovers made for a wood day bed but want to avoid filling them with foam since it contains toxic fire retardants. Any ideas?

Jen

Debra’s Answer

You could fill them with almost anything. I’ve used organic cotton and organic wool in the past to stufff cushions, but you could even use rolled up towels or blankets, or whatever you want.
