FIVE STAR bedding is made from pulverised, untreated virgin softwood wood fibres, a by product of the forestry industry. The fibres are screened to a 3mm particle size, dust extracted in a cyclone then treated with steam. The fibres are then pressed into pellets under high temperature and pressure, reducing the moisture content to less than 4%. These pellets are then screened and de-dusted twice more and then finally vacuumed before packing.

FIVE STAR bedding is made from wood flakes with most of the water extracted.  It has a very high capacity for absorption, but just as you need to dampen a dry cloth before you wipe up a spill, FIVE STAR needs to be re-hydrated to maximise its rate of absorption.

In its dry state the 15kg bags of FIVE STAR bedding are easy to handle. In its rehydrated form the bedding has a full fluffy texture which will support the horse and will not compact down with use.

FIVE STAR bedding is made to strict quality standards resulting in a consistent product.
