Got some at hobby lobby. Make sure that it is not anti-microbial or flame retardant and you will be good.

I actually got some at Walmart but I can't get an answer from the manufacturer....I've gotten some a few years ago from Joann but I don't think they have the same kind anymore...

The trick with manufacturers is to ask about any additives. Never mention a reef. Most will just say unsure to be safe. Also look for hypoallergenic felt. That is 100% no additives.

Well that’s no good. I know hobby lobby has reef safe felt. Joanns closed where we are, so that is the only option. I also get my poly fill there for the biocubes. Cheap as can be and reef safe.

Thanks...what brand from hobby lobby do you get?

The prop 65 warning for any color on there and white is not a good sign. It is typically only used for coloring and is in some foods, as well as make up. It may or may not be reef safe, but I have no idea on that.

This one. Not for sleepwear is what you need to look for for flame retardant. If it has it it will not say that. Anti microbial is typically used on the small felt sheets sold individually or in a pack.
