Many uses of polyester fiber filling


            Polyester filled pillows are very soft and comfortable because of the lightweight and uniformly spread poly fill, which is used in these pillows. This polyfil stuffing is available online and can be delivered home at reasonable prices and in desired quantities. Bulk poly fill can be purchased reasonably cheap with great volume discounts available on most online sites.

            Polyester fiber stuffing, which is conventionally used for pillow filling, is used for a variety of purposes because of its lightweight and uniform quality. Poly fill can be used as soft toy stuffing and also can be used to make Christmas decorations as well as for summer projects. In fact, a lot of great ideas like animal face pillows, hanging planets and stars made out of poly fill can be made using polyester stuffing in these shapes.

            Various cute toys and teddies for the young and old alike can be made using polyester filling. Some summer projects using poly fill stuffing also use the stuffing to create the effect of snow or depict waves in a landscape used for display. The use of poly fill in these projects is entirely based on the imagination of the user and there are no limits to what can be created using the same.

            I think it is definitely time you worked up your brain imaginatively to let your summer project ideas using polyester fiberfill come to life.  Bring them to life and you will find many who will appreciate your imagination.

Mattress protectors breathe in a new life in your mattresses


Mattress protectors for me are a must for all my mattresses because of the protective and hygienic covering, which they provide to the mattress. It is not only the look and the quality of the mattress, which the protectors retain, but it is also a lot of ailments like asthma and other allergic conditions, which these protectors keep at bay.

If you have babies at home who are constantly wetting beds or children who are prone to getting you beds into a mess then waterproof mattress protectors are the best options that you can look at. The other options, which are relatively cheaper, can be in the form of mattress covers and mattress pads, which give protection and also give a nice comfy feeling to the mattress.

What you need to look for in a good mattress protector is the quality of the fabric and also the elastic on the sides because of its ability to latch on to the mattress. Low quality elastics don’t hold on and you will almost always wake up with a mattress protector, which has come off the mattress.

Excellent mattress protectors, mattress covers and mattress pads are available online and are delivered to your doorstep. The prices, which they are available at, are also great and I was very happy with the waterproof mattress protectors that I bought online.

We can definitely get some good protection for our mattresses with good mattress covers, but mattress protectors actually go beyond this regular degree of protection. Water proof ones are excellent and are a must have if you have babies at home or if you are even simply looking to keep you mattresses in great shape.
Quilted mattress protectors are comfortable

Buy great pillows online


It’s a great feeling to lay your head on a soft and well filled pillow after a hard days work. A pillow with lumps or a sleeping pillow with a lost shape isn’t something you should go to bed with. Finally we do spend a lot of our lifetime sleeping right!

The shape and feel of a pillow depends to a great deal on the filling inside it.  It is very important to have the right pillow fills either polyester or cluster fibers to get you the right feel for the pillows

            I bought some of the best sleeping pillows at nussopillows.com. I was looking for some regular sleeping pillows for home and what was offered at nussopillows were cheap pillows which are as soft as the hotel pillows which you come across in hotels or motels. The pillows were well contoured and allow sleeping naturally giving you greater comfort and flexibility.  The volume prices, I thought were also very cheap and it should be great to buy wholesale pillows at a cheaper rate. In fact you can order online with the simple ordering process and get the pillows delivered at the doorstep with a quick turnaround.

            I think it is as important to think about your pillow as much as we think about our food or anything else. You can get good pillows at great rates online you just have to look for a good provider. Nussopillows  is one of the sites, which can be relied upon to provide the same.

Perfect Quilt batting Online


It is easy to buy quilt batting online these days,  don’t really have to run around looking for the batting for your quilt. Your choice of batting be it cotton, polyester or woolen can be made available at your doorstep by simply ordering online. In fact the choice of batting available is of excellent quality, in a wide variety of sizes and thickness for you to choose from. Thanks to the advent of a number of online sites, which sell fabrics and textiles at the click of a mouse. Thanks to these online sites the customer is now the king.

I was initially skeptical about ordering quilt batting through the online ordering process, but was surprised at the even consistency and the quality of the batting that I received. I had to simply choose the correct size for my quilt and there I had the perfect batting for my quilt. The batting actually worked perfectly and there was no hassle of sewing it in the quilt.  It was actually quite lightweight and the quilt felt nice and warm after having used the quilt.

I ordered my quilt batting from www..nussopillows.com and they delivered real quickly to my doorstep. The ordering process itself was so simple and intuitively built that it took no time to order and minimal time for the batting to further reach me at home.

So if you are actually looking for some good quilts to be made then save yourselves the hassles of looking for quilt batting in the market and buy some off the shelf online.

Making the perfect quilt

The correct size batting is very essential

Pillow form, quillt batts, polyester stuffing shipping rates

The most frequent question we are asked is: how much shipping does it cost to my location? For those that are technically inclined, we developed an intuitive instant quote system that calculates shipping to any location in Canada. It can be viewed at: http://www.nussopillows.com/order.htm?format=quote
This is what the online quote form looks like:
If you fill in your postal code in the blue box (either the big one at the top or the small one in the middle on the right) the program will now calculate the shipping cost to your specific postal code. Now, when you enter the quantities you want in any of the other boxes, the shipping cost will update automatically in the big blue box entitled "Your Order Summary". It will calculate the precise costs as well as the number of boxes it will take to ship your order to you. Roughly speaking, 25 pounds of merchandise will fit into a box. That means approximately 25 18" x 18" or 20 20" x 20" forms.

For a basic guideline, here's a quick rundown of what costs you can expect to major metropolitan areas for quantities of two boxes or more:


Toronto: $10.58/box
Montreal: $11.95/box
Winnipeg: $13.58/box
Calgary/Edmonton: $16.70/box
Vancouver: $18.98/box

Single carton shipments are slightly higher

Keep in mind, that if FedEx is delivering to a residential address, they will charge an additional $2.50/box surcharge. Also, the rates above are a guideline and should be used as a rough estimate only. For an accurate quote, please use the online quote form: http://www.nussopillows.com/order.htm?format=quote 

We ship all of our goods with FedEx ground, due their exceptional customer service and super fast delivery time. FedEx has been a reliable, steady supplier for us for many many years (over 30 I think dating back to the RPS days). Customers love the emails that FedEx sends out for the tracking number for each package, which allows our clients to conveniently track their orders as soon as they leave the warehouse. Additionally, FedEx offers us very competitive rates due to our long-standing relationship with them. It is part of our corporate philosophy to maintain and build strong mutually beneficial business relationships that assist us in all steps along the value creation chain.

Custom Sizes of Pillow inserts

Another recent transcript of a live chat about custom sizes... gives a clear idea

20:35:19)  Visitor I REALLY REALLY wish you did custom sizes. It would be so helpful.
(20:35:47)  Customer Service we do, but we need a minimum of 50 pieces
(20:36:12)  Visitor You mean all 50 have to be the same size?
(20:36:59)  Customer Service usually... what is the name of your business?
(20:37:08)  Visitor *** *****
(20:37:35)  Customer Service what sizes are you looking for specifically?
(20:38:41)  Visitor My new shop opens on Apr 14th and we are doing Designer cushions...I expect I will have demand for lots of different sizes and perhaps shapes as well.
(20:39:19)  Customer Service we carry most of the popular sizes, sometimes you will be able to get  away with a size that is close to what you want
(20:39:50)  Visitor i've tried that and its ok but not great
(20:41:01)  [Visitor page reloaded. New URL: http://nussopillows.com/custom.htm ]
(20:41:27)  Customer Service hmmm, you can always send the list of your required sizes to office@nusso.com (mention that its for a retail store) and we can send you back a quote

Polyfill Pillow Stuffing for Projects - How much do you need?

We often get approached by camps and girl guide directors to purchase our polyester pillow stuffing. We are always delighted to be able to help out educational and youth-oriented institutions. Nusso is a family-owned and operated business, so family-oriented organizations are very important to us. There is a common question we get: How much stuffing do I need? (This is actually a common question across the broad spectrum of our clientele but is often more prevalent with the smaller institutions.

Here's a quick breakdown of estimated fill requirements for a few key sizes:

14" x 14": 0.6 lbs
16" x 16": 0.8 lbs
18" x 18": 1.0 lbs

These are good baselines for determining how much stuffing you would have to buy to have enough for your project. Many customers are delighted at how engaged children can be making there own pillows and stuffing it themselves. When you consider teddy bear stuffing, it becomes a little bit more complicated. A small teddy bear will probably take anywhere between a half a pound and one pound, but this can vary wildly. If you want the bear to have a big belly, you'll need to fill it more.

If you are looking for a great, interactive project, buy some pillow cases at your local linen store and then come to Nusso for some hypoallergenic polyester pillow stuffing.

Informative chat re discounts bolsters and extra stuffing

(21:36:24)  Visitor i would like to place an order. my name is ***  and i have ordered before
(21:36:37)  Customer Service ok
(21:36:49)  Customer Service how can I help you?
(21:36:55)  [Visitor page reloaded. New URL: http://www.nussopillows.com/bolsters.htm ]
(21:37:30)  Visitor i think it was the 10 x 30 bolsters that i ordered before.please confirn
(21:37:36)  Customer Service let me check...
(21:37:59)  Customer Service yes, the 10" x 30" is correct
(21:38:08)  Customer Service you ordered 10 pieces
(21:38:30)  Visitor what is the price each and is there a discount for over 6
(21:39:21)  Customer Service price is $10.75 as per the website and your previous invoice
(21:39:44)  Customer Service our qty discounts are for orders in the $500 range
(21:39:51)  Visitor can they be filled with more stuffing to make them denser
(21:39:59)  Customer Service yes
(21:40:10)  Visitor what is the cost
(21:40:14)  Customer Service if you visit the factory, we can fill to your spec
(21:41:44)  Visitor i haven't visited the factory but if i could get what you fill and then 1/2 more on top. does that make sense. customers are finding them too soft
(21:42:41)  Customer Service we can definitely do that.... the $10.75 is based on a fill weight of 3.4 lbs, so increasing fill weight by 50% would increase the costs by approximately 50%
(21:43:14)  Visitor price please
(21:43:29)  Customer Service each additional pound = $2.60
(21:43:54)  Customer Service so an extra 1.7 lbs would be 15.17
(21:43:57)  Customer Service total
(21:45:27)  Visitor i will check with the one i have done to see what the weight is, but i think that might just work. could you tell delivery time
(21:45:44)  Customer Service we're running about 1 week right now
(21:46:51)  Visitor thank you i will check with my bolster and let you know what the weight will be. thanks for your help
(21:47:04)  Customer Service your welcome


Review - custom work is available at current prices extra stuffing would cost 2.60/lb and we need longer lead times.

Mastectomy Pillows and cushions from Mastectomy Designs

Email received Jan 26/2011  no more words required
Hi Eli,
 Thanks for your email.  Here are some of the latest remarks I have gotten back that you are welcome to post to your blog.  These comments were emailed to me as a courtesy to let me know they had received their order.  They all have emailed me permission to use their comments to spread the word around about how much these pillows help after breast cancer surgery.

"I purchased two pillows from you for a friend of mine who just had a double mastectomy last week.  She received the pillows today and called me ... in tears.  She said they are just perfect and the ideal thing she needed for under her arms.  She had been rolling up towels but they didn't give her the support and comfort she gets with your pillows...It is often the little, simple things that can make a life so much better.  These pillows will help make her recovery a lot more comfortable.  She is truly grateful to have them."   Cheryl, MN

"My sister Holly was diagnosed with breast cancer and I didn't know what I could do to help.  I bought the pillows for her even though I'd never heard of them before and neither had she.  I just had a feeling this would help her.  Boy, was I right!  She just had a double mastectomy and used those everyday while she was recovering.  She said she wouldn't know what she would have done without them!!!  Thank you so much for a great product!  I was able to help my sister even though I couldn't be near her!"  Sent to Holly in CA by her sister Wendy, Wisconsin.

"I received the pillows and blanket today.  I wanted to let you know that they are absolutely wonderful.  The personal touches with the ribbon and card make them even more special.  I am a hospice nurse and will definitely put your brochure/website info in my office to give to our patient's when appropriate.  Oh, and by the way, my friend who is having her mastectomy (today) loved them as well.  She just thought they were so special along with your card."  Becky, PA.

These emails touched my heart, and I hope they warm yours too, and all who read your blog.  And as for your family business, the filling of these pillows and sewing them shut definitely is helping a lot of women going through the difficult battle with breast cancer.  I know the pillows are not your normal pillows, but hope you are ok with continuing on helping me offer them as a resource to these women.

As for a link on the resource page:  yes, I will put your link on it, as the wonderful company who is helping to supply these pillows as a pain relief source after breast cancer surgery.  I will try to do it within the next week.

PS  I am going to a trade show in Orlando, Florida in March to meet  up with 200-300 prospective wholesale buyers looking for something new in women's products to order for their respective shops.  Planning to take orders for the pillows.  Ok if I send you lots of business after March?   That's why I would like to know if there are wholesale shops for cotton in the Toronto area.

Build-A-Bear Recalls 300,000 Teddy Bears

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45806891/ns/health-childrens_health/#.TwHGW4FIU1U

The article mentions that the teddy bears had an issue with the eye balls falling out, presenting a rather serious choking hazard to babies. I suppose they learned nothing from the BPA incident... It always annoys me when I read about companies that are so focused on short-term cost-cutting measures that they ignore the far more important long-term implications of inferior product quality. Although harder to measure, cost of quality is extremely important and companies need to balance the benefits of reducing costs against the new costs generated by cutting quality (cost of returns, defects, customer service, recalls, lost sales, lost brand value, etc.)

It should be noted that here at Nusso, we supply many teddy bear manufacturers with our polyester stuffing and sincerely hope that our stuffing is only going into teddy bears that are baby-safe.
