Question from Linda
Hi, i was wondering if you could give any info on how to stuff a mattress. I am going to order 80 pounds organic cotton from white lotus for $359 and 20 pounds of wool layers for $139. I am also gona purchase an organic queen futon cover from heart of vermont for $190. This is the only way we can afford an organic bed right now. So i was wondering what if any info you could give me about layering or stuffing the case. I would appreciate any info. We are organic on a budget, and this is what we can afford for now, we will save about $500 if we make it ourselves. Thank you

How smart you are to get great materials and save money by utilizing your own labor.
Any of these companies where you purchased the materials I’m sure could give you expert advice on stuffing.
Many years ago I made some pillow cases and stuffed them with organic cotton batting for sofa cushions. I just pushed big chunks of batting in the cases. You want to fill the case very tight with batting.
But ask the mattress makers. They are stuffing all day long.
