Inner cover - a flowing synthetic fabric is used, which does not interfere with the movement of the filler granules. The material must be characterized by strength, density and resistance.

Filler must be safe, environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic. Most of the models are filled with expanded polystyrene balls. Also, the filler can be combined - granules and an emollient material, such as synthetic winterizer or holofiber, are used.
