I ordered the Mulberry Silk filling, then somehow the payment did not go through.
I did a further research and one honest seller says Mulberry silk goes flat and dead quick for a pillow.

Lucky i did not pay successfully, looks like it's the callling,

According to AI, for somene who is super chill and don't maintain, best is use shredded talalay latex, should last for over a decade with no maintenance. Unlikely to have mold, retain the shape but may feel lumpy. No fluff or loft feel. Like lying on extremely soft bouncy tyres.

Else is wool, but the AI says must sun now and then, which is not my style of living.

Just an update, I bought wool from taobao in the end.

It came combed and felt compressed. If I use it as stuffing immediately, it will feel lumpy.

So I had to pinch abit by abit, separate out into small lumps. That took me like 6 hours to obtain about 230g of fluffy wool.

My original cotton filling was 300g but they have lumped like tiny ropes altogether. Using 230g of wool made my original pillow damn bloated.

Quality is really good. I tot it would heat, not my different from my latex pillow. I believe my reconstructed pillow should last another 40 years. :o

Should just buy a new pillow from Hooga. Simplify our lives instead of complicating it.
