Polyester Batting/Filling

Cotton batting is a common filler for mattresses or furniture, or used as lining for quilts.

Consider reusing polyester stuffing for other projects, or offering up for others to use for their projects through online community groups, or Craigslist, FreeCycle, Buy Nothing, Next Door or such. Thrifts will accept new in package filling.
