Even Support 230 Thread Count Ringlet Featherbed

I relied on the reviews in purchasing this featherbed, and I can't believe no one mentioned that it's crunchy! This is a very well-made product, however, it feels as though the filling is mostly quills, so it's crunchy when you squeeze it. Even my cat makes noise walking over it! I don't find it soft at all. It is generously stuffed with duck feathers, and it is very heavy.Relative to other products of the same type, this appears to be an extremely good value, because the cover has a high thread count, the filling is generous, and the ring stitching is effective in preventing the contents from shifting.As previous reviewers noted, the featherbed is slightly smaller than a queen mattress. I had good luck securing it to the bed by putting it underneath a mattress cover that accomodates thick mattresses.I made a mistake in thinking that a featherbed would be anything like a down comforter. The feathers that occasionally come out of my comforter are tiny and soft. The feathers in this featherbed must keep the Chinese ducks warm and dry, but they aren't something I want to sleep on. About 3 weeks after I bought this featherbed, my cat threw up on the bed and some of the liquid soaked through. I dragged it to the dry cleaner and realized that I had forgotten an important part of the value equation -- it would have cost a minimum of $45 to have them wash it (OK, I live in LA, where many things are expensive...). If it airs out, I'll be donating it to Goodwill, otherwise, it's going in the trash.Sometimes you get what you pay for. When I can afford it, I'll go for a product that is 95% down, not feathers.

So I have a cheapo memory foam mattress and I was not sleeping well. I added this featherbed and I must say, hands down, my bed is SO COMFY now! I'm no stranger to featherbeds - I've had many - and this is by far my favorite. I've had it for 3 weeks and only had to fluff it once. My mom stayed in my bed when she visited (I got the couch, lucky me) - she ordered one the next day! A very good quality and comfortable featherbed! (and it didn't even smell too bad like almost all do when you first open them)...

I just got it today...... so i havent slept on it yet..but we all laid on it (kids and all) and its very cozy......it's a little small not quite queen size but still great......the best part is it has no smell.........alot of times when you buy any down (we have tons) it has a funky smell when you first get it but this one doesn't.......now my son wants one so ill be ordering another today
