Truthfully, I'm no fleece expert, but I've always used the anti pill fleece because it resists resists pilling and frays. I think this is what most vendors will use as well.
It will be more than what you have purchased, but you can buy any amount you wish.

The fleece I usually warn folks to stay away from is the very thin baby fleece that is more of a woven fabric that has been brushed to fray the thread and make it fluffy like fleece.
It does not have the same uniform texture that the polar or anti-pill fleece does.
If you have a Joann's or Hancock fabrics store - check their Remnant bins - there is almost always fleece in smaller size pieces 1/2 to 3/4 yards usually marked half price. These are plenty large enough to make a glider pouch or two and a hammock with some to spare for "blankies".

I prefer the Anti-Pill fleece. It is also easier to work with.

I haven't used any of the nicer fleece yet but I've been using the cheaper fleece (not the baby fleece) at Wal Mart for my bonding pouches, ropes, poms, etc. After about a week I have noticed the pouches pilling a little, but nothing they can get caught in, yet. The toys, which get a little less use as I still use the pouches daily, haven't shown much wear. I do notice it doesn't hold it's shape as well and is kinda stretchy. I'm curious as to what bedding you got? The only ones I know to be safe are the pellet beddings used for horses, and paper towels. I know pine, cedar, and woodchips are all supposed to be poisonous. I'd be concerned about them eating the cotton kind used for hamsters.
