I go to the fabric store (Joann Fabrics), head right to the clearance
section and pick out the least expensive, most plush, fleece fabric.
Who cares about the color or patterns.  Usually summer is a good time,
as people aren't needing that heavy of fabric.  I get mine for under 3$ a
yard.  I buy enough to cover each floor of the cage.  I buy double that
amount to have 2 sets...that way one can be washed and they have new
linens on hand at all times.  If your wife can sew, I'd suggest using the
same kind of material to make your own hammocks...it's much cheaper.

Mine LOVE to sleep on the fuzzy fleece I use to line the floors of their
cage..they burrow into it and snuggle up..also good for hammocks as
mentioned.
 
GOOD LUCK!!!
