Girl guides participate in may projects other than selling cookies. A popular type of project involves the making of pillows. Our pillow forms, polyester stuffing and quilt batts, make a fantastic material for any pillow project. We always recommend to go with the most popular sizes 16" x 16", 18" x 18" or 20" x 20" inches. For more information and a full list of other sizes please visit our pillow form website.
We do make custom sizes, however, they are a little more costly and take a while longer to deliver. With their permision I will share some of the beautiful items they have crafted over the last number of years, stay posted for pictures to come in future blog posts.

How often should one change Polyester filled sleeping pillows
In order to save money, use a zippered fabric pillow protector and change your protector or pillow cases often. Wash as required and tumble dry on a cool cycle.
Why change the pillow? Over time mildew, bacteria and body oils penetrate through the coverings into the pillow, affecting both hygiene and pillow performance, i.e. resilience & form.
You spend 6-8 hours daily on your pillow, keep it fresh and clean.

Types of fill in manufactured pillow forms
There are a two primary types of fill you can find for pillow forms and cushion inserts:
Down/Feather pillow forms and polyester filled pillow forms are the two main groupings. Down and Feather fill provide a "memory" type of fill in that the forms take time to bounce back to their original shape. This provides a higher class look than you get from the polyester filled cushion inserts.
The poly filled pillow forms are usually much cheaper than their down/feather counterparts and can give a much fuller look.

Pillow Form Sizes
Most companies sell pillow forms in even sizes. If you are trying to decide which pillow form size to purchase, it is usually best to go one inch bigger than your cushion cover to give it a nice full look.
Some manufacturers put less fill in their pillows. Nusso fills their cushion inserts with a nice plump weight to keep its customers satisfied.
