Quick answer
Choose Easibed Bale if you want a dust-free, supportive bed that has been a stable favourite for over 15 years. Choose Snowflake Supreme Woodshavings if you want a naturally warm, soft bed made entirely from kiln-dried softwood timber with a fresh odour.
Dust and support: Easibed's core strength
Easibed is described as dust free and supportive, which matters if your horse is sensitive to dusty bedding or you want a bed that holds its shape under hooves. The dust-free claim is a practical advantage in an enclosed stable, especially during winter when ventilation is limited.
Snowflake Supreme does not make a dust-free claim in the supplied facts. Its focus is on being naturally warm, soft and comfortable, so it may suit horses that need a cosy bed rather than a firm, supportive base.
Warmth and freshness: Snowflake Supreme's comfort focus
Snowflake Supreme bales are made entirely from kiln-dried softwood timber, which the catalog says guarantees a naturally warm, soft and comfortable bed with a superb fresh odour. That makes it a strong choice for horses that benefit from a soft, insulating bed, or for owners who prioritise a fresh-smelling stable.
Easibed does not specify its raw material in the supplied facts. If you need to know exactly what the bedding is made from, that information is not available here, so treat it as a decision limitation.
Bale size and value: matching quantity to your routine
Easibed comes in a 20kg bale, while Snowflake Supreme comes in a 15kg bale. A larger bale can mean fewer trips to the feed store and less packaging waste, but the right size depends on how often you muck out and how deep you like your bed.
Both products are listed with a catalog comparison price, so check the current price before you buy. Neither product record lists available option types, so confirm bale size and packaging with the store if you need a specific format.
Key trade-offs to weigh
- Dust sensitivity vs warmth: Easibed is dust free, while Snowflake Supreme is described as naturally warm and soft. If your horse coughs or reacts to dust, Easibed is the safer starting point; if warmth and comfort are the priority, Snowflake Supreme is the better fit. Match the bedding to your horse's respiratory sensitivity first.
- Support vs softness: Easibed's supportive properties help the bed stay in place, which can be useful for horses that move around a lot. Snowflake Supreme's softwood shavings prioritise a soft, comfortable surface rather than a firm base. Choose support for active horses; choose softness for horses that lie down often.
- Bale size vs storage: Easibed comes in a 20kg bale and Snowflake Supreme in a 15kg bale. A larger bale reduces how often you reorder, but it takes up more storage space and may be harder to handle if you have limited room. Measure your storage before committing to the larger bale.
