    Guys go to your local material shop and tell them you want batting you can buy it by the truck load and a whole lot cheap than the lps, they are buying from the material stores and then reselling to you, you are being ripped off...

    The batting that is being sold at the local material shops as far as I know is the softer type they use in duvet covers and is really difficult to cut and shape, might be wrong though will go check it out later this morning.
