The bodies I’ve gotten from there are nice. I’ve only gotten the full limb non-jointed bodies though, I’m not sure what your baby needs.
Is usually buy whatever brand and I’ve never had any issues
This @AmyR777? (I thought someone said Walmart doesnt have it?)

Yep! I don’t think all Walmart store carry it; thankfully, mine does. I may order that large box, though.
Seems like a bargain $5 for 1 pound or $25 for 11 pounds…
Thanks for that video @amyr777! The pillow I bought was stuffed with cluster stuff! Didn’t know that, I just knew it was different and softer than the polyfil!
That’s great! My aunt wants to make a pillow stuffed with cluster stuff. It’s good to know it works well.
A GIANT box of cluster just just arrived at my house!!! Thank you Amy!!! I can’t wait to try it!!! I’m taking someone apart and testifying!!! Oh my god… It changed restuffing to testifying and then to resolution!!! Lololololol
@AmyR777 I just watched your video again because you are SO CUTE!!! I just love you Amy!!!
You’re so funny, Nikki! Let me know when you’ve re-stuffed a baby.
You’re gonna love it Piglet!!! Cluster stuff is the best of all the stuffing I have run across!!!
I picked up my GIANT box last Friday (site to store = free shipping) I knew the box would be big, but it was GIANT! LOL Once I got it home I had to break down the box and get it outside! Then to find a place to store the bags LOL I had to tuck and stuff two of the bags in my Prams and up high! The other bag I’m going to divide into smaller bags, I did make myself a bed pillow with some cluster ( I like thin pillows for sleeping and remove 3/4 of the filling on regular pillows), glad I made my own really is very nice! …oh and in that GIANT box that’s alotta cluster!!!
I restuffed Saoirse last night!!! She is so cuddlicious!!!
Now… I must restuff them all!!! And then… Buy more cluster stuff!!! Lololol
That’s what I did…re-stuffed everyone in the nursery.
Ahhhhh, she is so adorabel!!
@westernstarr I’m NOT restuffing Vayda!! Lol she is perfect!!!️
Hahahaha…you are beautiful Nikki…LOVE YOU!!! .if you needed to re-stuff her though you are welcome…it would not hurt my feelings…Thank you for your sweet comment…I am glad that you like the way she feels though…
I get quite a few ladies that send me dolls from other artist to have me re-weight and stuff them for them…use to make me a bit nervous taking other peoples work apart but now I just pop them apart and put them back together but you still always wonder if you got it the way the customer wanted it no matter how often you do it…I just weight and stuff them the way I like them to feel and hope others like it too…)
I think how the baby feels is almost as important as the painting when it comes to developing an attachment between the bubs and the buyer…I have had some really ‘interesting’ looking babies that normally I would probably have sold but when I pick them up…the cuddle factor is so amazingly real…I end up putting them back in their blankets and back in their cradles…(have one Sili like that…not a pretty kiddo at all but I reweighted/restuffed her when I got her and I have almost sold her 3 times but when I pick her up…she just melts into your arms and it has been her saving grace for about 3 years now…lolololololol
I could see where that cluster stuff would make a baby feel really soft though…I think we may can get it here but I always buy very high quality soft pillows instead of the packaged fibrefill because I find it softer and less springy and it does not wad up. Here is an example…the first photo is what I take out of most dolls (and it is the proper polyfill that is sold for the purpose so nothing wrong in what the ladies are doing.) and the second photo is what I use in my dolls…It is more expensive buying the pillows but it is worth the extra cost in my opinion…I do use the stiffer polyfill in the tops of the thighs and in the head if I have here though - it works great for those but not the body…
I just finished a Kira by Cindy Musgrove and I think I am going to take her head off and restuff her when I get some more cluster struff----right now she is pretty stiff and doesn’t nestle into your arms at all. A part of the front loading legs I don’t like is the position they rest in. I wish they would droop some, I don’t always like that Frog look!!
