Human hair has been collected and used to stuff things for eons. It is soft, available, pliable and resilient.
My grandma kept a pretty tin can by her bedside and when she combed her hair she would carefully remove her hair from her comb and place it into the tin, saving it because that was what she had always done! She would stuff small mattresses for her dogs and even Tat (make lace) with it.
It wasn't too long ago that nothing was wasted or thrown away. There was a use for it all. So if there were mattresses found, it wouldn't be an unusual find.

No disrespect intended but doing some fact checking research one Yahoo Answers is probably not the best way to go about confirming "facts". This place profvides a good first point of research - but i think maybe you should go to the library and do some reading on Post WW2 Germany and the Hololcaust evidence that remained....
And with reference to your other WW2/NAZI/Holocaust questions - why not just say there is no ONE authority and just many people with varying experiences who offer lots of insights into the cruelties of a regime ....

Fact
In Auschwitz, Poland, in the cell blocks that once housed human beings like cattle, awaiting their turn to be slaughtered, are displays of the mingling of the Nazis' advanced technology with their enlightened ethic: lamp-shades made of human skin, mattresses stuffed with human hair, and gold dug from the teeth of corpses on their way to the ovens.
One display case, some 30 metres long, is wholly filled with human hair which the Nazis gathered from the people before and after they were slaughtered.

A-man you seem conflicted about this subject. Sufficed to say that many died in the death camps. I've seen the crude tattoo of the 'work camps'. There is no master race. There is only the human race.
Good luck in your search. Always listen to dissent. It helps strengthen the ideal.
