Michael,

My personal experience with so-called compressed bales is that when wet, the cubic area shrinks back down to the original size of the bale. The Sunshine Advanced Mix #4 lettering on the bag claims "it fluffs up to 6.0 cubic feet". Well, I have a feather pillow that is about 12 inches tall - yet ends up at 6 inches when in use. Same observation for these compressed bale claims by the Manufacturers. In ACTUAL use, you get no where near the functional cubic area as claimed in the advertising.
