Hmmmm. We've been making Piggy Bedding for a fair few years now, along the same principles, but not that flippin expensive! I also find it interesting that that website was only created in October last year. Hey ho! I guess we at Hammocky HQ will either have to pass it off as a coincidence or take it as a great big compliment!
One of our first trial runs of bedding incorporated a waterproof backing but although it seemed like a good idea, I was never happy with it for a couple of reasons. Firstly I found that it actually created more problems than it solved in that it meant that the urine in heavy traffic areas just sat against the pigs skin as it had nowhere to go, and this meant far more regular washing and sadly the waterproof backing degraded very quickly rendering the bedding all but useless.
Secondly I would strongly advise against using this in the cage or in an unsupervised area as if the piggies manage to get at the waterproof backing, and they almost certainly will, they could develop serious if not fatal digestive issues
For some better information on how this type of bedding should work and how it is produced, and more importantly what the Piggies think of it have a look

The Hammocky Hammock Complete Piggy Bedding set comes complete with a Giant WashBag and spare 'high traffic' mats if needed so it really is an all in one solution, and as I say, one we've been selling to custom order for a few years now.
This bedding was originally developed and tested by us at Hammocky HQ, and by the Rescues who we work with and help to support. You can be assured that this bedding is safe and that all the money raised by the sale of it goes to great causes around the UK
Our Bedding is made from 4 individual layers which are carefully sewn together to create a unique wicking system, similar to how Vet Bed works but a lot less fluffy for those Piggies that like to nibble. It also utilises our unique
Nibble Detection System, so you get early warning of any naughty nibbling! That said my crew have had the same two sets on the go for years and never nibbled them <touches wood>
We have only ever made our Piggy Bedding to order, although it has been widely advertised across forums blogs and of course our website
It would be tricky for us to offer all sizes 'off the shelf' as it were, however we have been working on a modular system, which will be available soon.
