Default Filter Media

I've been using BigAl's cut-off the big roll mechanical filter media for a few years. I believe it is the same material as used in furniture stuffing. Can't stand cleaning reuseable media so I replace it once a week.
Just wondering if anyone has found other sources or material which is safe. I'm assuming the stuff I'm using now is safe

Hey Kari.
I have used and sometime still use quilting batting in my hangon aquaclear with great results. Same stuff big als sells for 1000000000x the price Kidding..
It's the polyester quilting batting from a fabric store. not cotton.
