    That's the main attraction of the bridge for me. I'm going to try making one when I get done a few of my home projects...

    if you use the synthetic quilt batting from walmart, it comes in a thick sheet form. no baffles needed.
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    i think you can get it in a loose form, but what most people i know of have used is called "continuous filament" or something like that.
    much easier to work with.

    Yes the continuous filament, or scrim welded versions are much easier to use. And for most people better.

    The loose stuff tends to clump up and become lumpy and uneven fairly quickly. I have some pillows that did this. They felt great to start with and after a few months began to get lumpy. After about a year they were terrible.
