Project Update: Pillowcases & Polyfil
My goodness the makers of Polyfil are kind of not great at wholesale. I think Joanns must have bought like a warehouse of the stuff because the prices they can offer vs what the actual company that makes Polyfil wholesales things for is vastly different.
I know I posted their price sheet in my discord but it was like $33 wholesale for a 5 lb box of this Polyfil. It is actually cheaper for me to buy it on sale at Joanns than it is for me to order wholesale from the makers. I don't know how I feel about or what to even tell anyone at this point.

So this is what they looked like when I received them. I probably won't repack them nearly as neatly when I mail them to you since I do have to sew in a bunch of the tags still.
Moving along - the premium Polyfil is most comparable to what is inside of the prototypes.
My personal preference is this silky Polyfil. I still think they added more than I did when I was stuffing the pillows for testing. One has the silky stuff and I have no idea how much of it was used compared to the premium, but the premium fill we used 24 oz of fluff. I still think it could have held more but it was a bit lumpy, so maybe rip it apart more than I did. I do remember when my prototype came in, it was vacuum sealed and it took awhile to get to into some happy state of existence, so some of it may just wiggle itself into a better spot with use too? I have no idea.
My only suggestion is stuff and test how it feels as you go. I think we can still add more stuffing to the ones we have, but we're still experimenting.
Either way, if you ordered one of these and need us to stuff it for an extra cost outside of whatever, please let me know. Shipping weight will increase and thus shipping cost will too as a warning. We're still going to attempt to find cheaper ways to stuff these but maybe my preference for filler is also just spendy. I have no idea haha.
If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask either way. Labeling laws are really the only reason I am behind on these.
I also just got into Momocon! So if you're in Atlanta, I will be there! Don't ask me what stuff I will have with me. I have no idea lol. I just know they have Delicious in Dungeon VAs and I am so freaking excited. Maybe I'll do a Delicious in Dungeon Stamp Rally. = X I had such a good time in 2024 and I am even more excited for 2025! I will say if you do attend, wear shoes that don't hurt your feet. It's sooo much walking.
