Toy stuffing

Hi, I just got insured for selling things I make.
I knit toys and various others things. I just need to know if it's ok to use pillow stuffing for my toys, obviously I want to make sure I use safety checked products so as not to void my insurance, but I can't find anywhere that says this is ok.
TIA :)

Why do you prefer to use pillow stuffing to toy stuffing?

I use THIS which I thought was quite cheap - am I missing a trick here?

As far as I can tell toy stuffing has the same safety requirements as pillow stuffing which has a number BS5852. But nowhere actually states if you can use both.

I think you'd need to ask your insurers - it's possible it has to be approved-for-toys stuffing. (I always use pillow stuffing too but I don't sell the things I make).
