I've got a couple of sofa throw pillows that could stand some stuffing inside. Would just a new pillow form do the trick or would that stuff become flat as a flitter in two years? Any suggestions would be welcome.
While at JoAnn Fabrics today I did look at pillow forms as well as some stuffing for pillows that were silk or silk-like fiber fill. Any opinions??
I have used the JoAnn's poly-fil pillow forms, they hold up pretty well. But as I understand it, high-end designers use down.
For instance:
HTH,

Ok, thanks! I did take out the inserts that are in two of the four pillows that need restuffing. What a sad looking lot they were, hahahahaaa!
I remember my mother using old pantyhose a hundred years ago to stuff throw pillows. They worked quite well but I think she used too many nylons. But that was back when EVERYBODY wore hose so it wasn't difficult to soon have enough to plump up those pillows.
I have some ancient throw pillows stuffed with Kapok. The covers have worn out, the filling is still fluffy.
I had to look that up and still not sure what it is nor have I ever seen it.
When I asked in the local fabric store where I could find the kapok, the young clerk looked like I had grown an extra head, she had never heard of it either. Turned out the clerks in the home dec area DID know, and I was able to buy enough to re-fill some throw pillows.
I often use cheap fleece.
