The uber thick, 100% Wool Felt used in some of these can't be compared to cheap, synthetic felt in cost or beauty. Target and Marshall's...made in China from cheap material. Some of above, handmade in the US from gorgeous, thick, vibrant 100% wool felt. Really just depends on what you treasure in your home. I buy cheap when I want cheap, and quality when I care to have quality, but I never compare the two..... Are You Feeling it? Felt Storage Boxes and Baskets Flag this comment	1/27/12 10:45 AM
Very colorful! I love FELT! Wonder what kind of felt she used and if it can be removed for cleaning. Oh, and, Douglas Fir, not fur..LOL! Felt & Gravity: Amy Hunting Design Flag this comment	12/8/11 11:32 AM

Hi, Jason- I actually have the original feltplanet mouse pad! (feltplanet is my shop). I was away from my own office using someone else's desk and a really icky old plastic mouse pad. It was awful. Luckily I had a large felt trivet with me so I tried it out as a mousepad and it worked great! I added 100% wool felt mouse pads to my etsy shop the next day and have been using the original felt 'trivet' as my mouse pad ever since. It still looks the same today as it did the first day I tried it out, and I LIVE on my computer (for better or worse). The IKEA mouse pad is listed on one site as being synthetic rubber and polyester. Not sure how well they would biodegrade. Just the thought of all the resources that go into mass producing, distributing and throwing out these products..... I understand the need for some temporary products, but it seems we've become a throw away society when some items can be produced once, perhaps be a little more costly, but last much longer, if not a lifetime, and in the end cost less!

I cringe at the thought of buying a stack of cheap mouse pads and sending them off to the landfill when they're worn out! I have been using a 100% Wool Felt Mouse Pad for over 2 years and it looks brand new. Not only is wool felt extraordinarily durable, it is a renewable, sustainable, natural resource. Looking at my mouse pad today, I can't imagine ever needing a new one, but if I did, tossing a 100% natural, biodegradable product (wool) wouldn't make a twinge in my eco-conscience!

@susanbnyc I know this is old, but.... Aetna Felt has 2mm, 3mm and 5mm 100% wool felt, as well as some in 1mm range, in many colors. You can call for free samples to see if any of them would work for you. Hope that helps!! How To: Create With Felt Flag this comment	9/2/11 11:15 AM
@keisha If you click on the link above for Aetna Felt, they are offering a special price for the size used here, 36" x 72", of $241.21. While not cheap, Industrial Wool Felt is extremely durable and for those who love the 'warmth', and feel of thick wool felt, it is a decent price. Hope that helps!

macbride- Sounds like a dust mite allergy, but fortunately, dust mites are not fond of wool. As long as you don't have a wool allergy, and use 100% wool felt you might be okay. Love the 3rd pic!! Felt in Bedrooms FELT Studio Flag this comment	3/29/11 10:39 AM

Felt is fantastic for walls, adding warmth, depth and acoutsic properties. Sticky back craft felt would not compare in durability or acoustic quality. Love this! Felt Wall Tiles by Hive Flag this comment	11/2/10 1:55 PM
Doesn't look like she used wool felt, looks like synthetic craft felt. Wool felt would hold water quite well, but then I would worry about mildew developing between the perpetually moist felt and the plywood.
