Feather Bed

Feather beds have long been used in Europe, but are relatively new in America. Traditional feather beds were, of course, made out of feathers, but modern versions can be made out of polyester, goose down, or a combination of feathers and down.

Feather beds should be covered with a protective feather bed cover. This ensures that the featherbed will be kept clean.

Most feather beds are 4 inches thick, and stitched together using a baffle box design (internal three-dimensional fabric boxes which allow for even distribution, thickness, and comfort). This design is what makes feather beds feel so comfy.

Feather beds should be shaken, flipped, and rotated every couple of weeks. This ensures that the feathers are distributed evenly, so that they aren't bunched up in an area that gets more surface-area use.
