Oh, by the way, the jury is out right now for polyester fiber-fill and quilt batting due to the fire retardant. I have a test going and the results will be posted in about a week. For what it is worth, I have been using quilt batting with no obvious problems. I have a feeling that todays fire retardant is insoluble in water.

I've been using pillow stuffing for years with no ill effects. IIRC you can buy the polyester fiber fill in a non retardant version at WalMart.

How do you determine if it does not have fire retardent (from the labeling)? I have already sampled all of the packages that I have and they all have fire retardent.

By the way, the fire retardent is at least partially soluble.
