dress form questions

hey everyone was planning to make the bootstrap dress form and had some questions before i went ahead

for the filling is it best to use polyfill? or memory foam chunks i found some online amazon but which would be ideal to hold the shape?
and around how many lbs or kg would i need ? for like the half dress form with no arms

and another question is what did u guys use for the base? i found like a coat hanger but what have u guys seen work better? and should the dress form be taller than me or similar hight ?

any suggestions or links or anything would be much appreciated!! thanks
