Even though I've got used to them now, I'm still not keen... partly chopped is a good way to be a little more casual, but I think I like my pillows straight, and my dishevelment in other areas!Sticky Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842310832364596713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329893855401740913.post-72017446652861779282011-01-14T02:06:21.211-08:002011-01-14T02:06:21.211-08:00I personally don't like the chopped form.

But the funny thing is, now that I have upgraded to using only feather inners, I proudly chop all my cushions. It is a little snobby touch I think, because you can't chop cheap foam inners.
