A couple of years ago I bought 3 'traditional' pillows from a fellow in LePuy. He has a web site. The pillows have rollers. The pillows are pretty but toxic to pins! The rollers are made with carpet scraps. Indoor-outdoor carpet with rubberized backing. No matter what kind of pins you use, they rust and actually disintegrate. It only takes 3 days to rust the pins and one month for them to disintegrate entirely. When I took the roller apart I found that the staples and nails used to keep the roll together had become pure rust. I remade the roller. Buyer beware!
As for stuffing pillows with sawdust or animal bedding. The only kind that would not be a problem is called Aspen Bedding and Litter by Kaytee. Dust and oil are removed. My hamster, Martha, likes it. I can't see using it for a pillow, but it might work. It comes in a compressed form. Any other animal bedding has oils which are trouble for Hamsters and other small animals and people, like me, with allergies.
See some of you in Harrisburg at the IOLI convention?
