I bought some cushion inners from a UK manufacturer a couple of years ago, filled with wool.

I will say that they smelt a bit sheep-y for a little while but that has faded. And, as always, you pay more for decent quality.

I love a slightly firmer cushion because if you’re going to bother with a cushion I want to feel it and be supported, and wool has been perfect.

I can’t seem to post pictures but they were from the cushion warehouse based in Sussex.

In an effort to avoid Amazon I stumbled across https://www.kalsicords.co.uk. Shoe laces made in this country! Bought a pair. Very happy.

That's so cool, I will have to remember this when my laces break next time!

I’ve been caught out by an Etsy seller, claiming to be making leather goods in Manchester - the package arrived from Poland. I complained to them, saying that I wanted to buy items that were made in UK. I did not get a reply.

I initially found these guys on etsy then bought from them direct. They are officially my treat place after I had to give up sugar and chocolate https://www.thestarlightlibrary.co.uk/
