[Re: PE - Bedding types]

[Wendy Freeman/Otte]

I made a straw tick tick - took some heavy cotton twill fabric, made a
human-sized pillowcase, filled it with straw/hay (I'm not a farmgal, don't
know the difference...) and a little sweet woodruff/lavendar (to discourage
the bugs), put buttonholes at the open end, and laced it shut.
It is solid, but can be "punched" into any shape (to make it easy on new
bruises from the day).  I used it in a rope bed, and on the ground.

It's not waterproof, but will stay warm when wet.  The cover is washable and
hay is cheap to replace.

And so comfortable...
