Was a number of decades ago, but a guy we knew moved West…came home around christmas in a ole van…he had a reasonably used buffalo (bison) hair on in the back of the van…he just crawled between them in the cold in the van and slept like a baby… He was of hardy stock, but he claimed it was wonderful.
As for price…I don’t think they’ll ever get any cheaper… they have been climbing like the National Debt for many years!
