David,
You mention having a horse hair pillow.  Does that mean the pillow is covered 
with a woven horse hair?  Or is it filled with horse hair?  Or perhaps both?  
If it is filled with horse hair I wonder if the hair was cut up into small 
pieces before it was put into the pillow and does that result in a heavy or 
light pillow?

I once ran across a small bolster pillow in a museum that was filled with metal 
filings.  They actually let me try to pick it up and it was very heavy!  It was 
like holding a metal bowling ball.  I couldn't imagine holding it on my lap to 
make lace.  They must have used a stand.

Do any of the rest of you have pillows with unusual fillings?
