I have one that is similar to this. Mine is from my Mother n law. They used it in the sleigh when they would go someplace in the winter in upper MI. I would love to hang in my home BUT the family thinks it is filled with "horse hair". Not sure as I do not want to take apart to see. Right not it is in a tub with a lid and in the garage. I have read over the suggetions and it has given me something to think about as well.
