Just bought this at Texaco garage for £3.99. Looks great for Piggies. I'm no expert it's 100% polyester so will it be ok for Poo Machines. . 20171011_192444.webpThe minions found it very comfortable. ZZZźzz.
 
Just make sure you wash it through a few times with detergent to make it more absorbent. Don't use fabric softener though :)

There's some good instructions here:

Preparation
  1. Wash the fleece in warm or hot water.
  2. Dry after washing
  3. Repeat 3-5 times to break down the water barrier in new fleece fabric.
  4. DO NOT use any fabric softener or conditioner! This will replace the water barrier that you are trying to break down.
  5. Check after drying to see if the fleece is ready by pouring a small amount of water on it. If it is ready the water will pass through the fleece.
  6. If the water remains on the surface and does not sink through, return it to the washing machine for another cycle before checking again.
