Ikea has very good prices on pillow forms.

I read somewhere how a lady made dog beds/pillows and stuffed them with plastic shopping bags (like the Walmart ones). She said when they got a little mashed down she simply gave them a good shaking and they fluffed up again. Don't know if that would work for you, but I'm going to try it for my old weiner dog because she likes to get her bedding in a pile and then drape herself over it.

I have several beanbag chairs, which keep going flat. After a lot of Google reading, it seems the best replacement fill is shredded foam. That would probably work well for floor pillows, too.

How on Earth would you dry the dog beds stuffed with grocery bags? I wash my dogs' beds often and need them to dry. Inexpensive pillows from Big lots worked well for stuffing pillows at Christmas. Just undo the stitching and you've gained some fabric to make the inner pillow, too.

I have 'cheap pillows at Walmart' on my shopping list right now. I can pick up a twin size for $2, and just get new ones

what ever i used on the inside i would make a cover for it ...then put a zipper on the outside cover then i could strip it down wash the outside and shove the inside back in when dry

Hello. Any ideas what to fill a large floor pillow with? I have some 1m square pieces of home dec fabric and wanted to make a large (possibly tufted?) floor pillow for when friends come over as we nearly always have more people than chairs and usually a few of us will sit cross legged on the floor around the coffee table which tends to give me, at least, a numb arse!

I want it to be fairly firm so that when sitting your bottom doesn't instantly sink through the filling and hit the floor. Maybe a solid piece of upholstery foam in the middle with beans surrounding it would work? Totally not sure!

Also yet to decide whether it'll just be a 1m square cushion (just a two piece) or whether I should make it have sides (which means more room for wedges of thick foam).

I didn't know they made bean bag chair filling. It's not the expensive. I'll have to remember that if I need large quantities of the "beans".

Go back to the first post and read thru this thread. There are tons of ideas for what to use.

@cashs_mom yeah, I read it.
