100% equals the measured volume. 200% means twice that volume of loose fill before compression. Changing fill or intended use resets this starting allowance.

Enter your measurements to see an estimate.

These are estimates, not guaranteed purchase quantities. Cover shape, measurements, packing, existing fill and preferred firmness affect the result. Compressible fills settle under load. Add gradually and adjust by feel. If the result seems unusual, contact us before buying.

Ah so I bought this to use as rough oakum between the seams of a board and batten cabin, to buffer the draft. It's worked perfectly for this purpose and I find the hemp doesn't trigger any of my chemical sensitivities (which are rather severe) so I'll probably buy more to make a duvet. Would recommend to other chemically sensitive individuals.
