Wadding (to stuff a huge cushiony thing). Cheapest source?

[ampere]

.....please?

I have a large cover which I need to fill with lightweight 'wadding' or similar.

What's the cheapest source do you think?

A cheap duvet? Pillows?

TIA

Ask friends for old tights then cut 3/4 times, or find old (washable) cushions at charity shops.

probably a bit late, but as I've only just discovered this section, you never know it might still be of use :)

if you definitely want wadding, then cheap douvets can work out much cheaper than buying the stuff

but if its for a cushion, then I find chopped up plastic bags make great lightweight & free stuffing :) ....if its more of a bean bag than cushion, ie very big & to be sat on, then mix with either poly beans or wadding, cut of tights, any old bits of cut up cloth etc, to give it a bit more substance

Some of the best and springiest cushions I have are the ones stuffed with unravelled machine knit sweaters. The stuff is usually washable (though a bugger to dry) and really resilient. Are there any jumble sales going soon?
