I have read this thread with interest and noted that no one has yet mentioned one draw back of the straw pillows and that is the little visitors that sometimes appear when using them.
This brought to mind pillows stuffed with wool. One of my students was given a pillow which seemed to have hills and valleys in the stuffing. She opened it to see what was happening, and to see if she could add some stuffing. She found that moths had been in it -- probably for years -- and had eaten away much of the natural sheep's wool stuffing. It was a mess. It was put in the trash.
I think I read somewhere that wool pillows should be given the freezing treatment occasionally also. Or some sort of treatment.
Did someone once say that herbs could be stuffed along with the straw, etc, as a bug preventive?
Happy lacing,
