Good point. We have to consider their laundry equipment might not be able to handle some of the weight.

Probably well laundered. They may only use only once because of laundering issues. Best probably to call them...they may have issues that prevent them taking fabric items (like allergy or bacterial).

The animal shelters around here don't reuse beds. They go with the animal or in the trash.

They had some respiratory issues here, and disposed of any fabric items. I hope that has been resolved by now.
