Super Snooze 5-inch 230 Thread Count Baffled Featherbed Set

After returning from a trip to Chicago where I slept on a luxurious featherbed at the posh W hotel, I went on a mission to find a comparable bed. Sleeping at the W was the best sleep I'd had in ages... like sleeping on a cloud as they say! My hunt ended when I found this wonderful featherbed from Overstock.com. I was skeptical at first... could it really be as great as the reviews and at such an affordable price? YES YES YES!!! My featherbed arrived amazingly fast and the quality is unbelievable. The bed is thick, heavy, luxurious and very well made. To be honest, I didn't expect much from the included cover and was prepared to purchase a separate cover. To my delight, I was wrong. The cover is wonderful as well! I'd buy another for my guest room but I'm sure my guests would never leave!!! <g> This is my second purchase from Overstock and I can't begin to sing their praises loud enough. Great customer service and super fast shipping add to the incredible bargains.

It was delivered yesterday (Friday). No bad smell at all. It had to be shaken and aired out so that it can "breathe" to allow it get fluffy. We call it the PUFFY bed. This featherbed is HEAVY - the fill is very high. Its comfortable and soft - while it gives support. You will have to shake it every day or so to make sure it remains "puffy" - as you would with any other featherbed. The included duvet cover is very smooth (high thread count) - fits like a glove and does not allow for the feathers come through. The height of ours is as stated 5". Its stitched in sections to prevent the feathers from shifting to one side of the featherbed. We purchased the King size and its covers our mattress perfectly. We are very pleased with this product. It was purchased to replace the (more expensive) 3" featherbed we've had for over three years and was not as high and highly filled as this one. Highly recommend a featherbed to all my friends, its the ultimate luxurious item for your bedroom. This one will be on the top of the list of recommendations! Our first night sleeping on it, well ...let me just say we did not get out of bed until noon!! A great purchase at an incredible price. Super fast shipping. Overstock.com does it again!

I received my feather bed one day while my husband was out-of-town. When he came home and laid down for a good night's rest, he raised the sheets and said, "What is this?!?!?" I said, "It's our new featherbed!" He said, "I'm telling you right now, I'm not going to like it". I asked him to sleep on it just one night and if he didn't like it, I would take it off." Much to his dismay, he loved it! He said, "That was the best nights sleep he had in a long time." We have had it for about a month now and can't wait to climb into bed every night. We loved it so much that we bought another one for our guest bedroom. Try it - you'll love it!!!!!

Alright, so. Let me just start off saying that i found most other reviews lacking much information and i wanted to leave one with a bit more substance to it to hopefully help at least one person make a well informed purchase regardless of other reviews. So. I was browsing the web for mattress toppers at reasonable prices, because i'm on a budget. i came across this. After much comparing, i came up with a verdict. most, if not almost ALL Higher end feather-beds, especially with down content (this one has none) are usually HALF as thick as this one, but cost TWICE the price. Down is for warmth and a little extra softness, feathers provide softness and more support than down. I get really hot easily when i sleep so i was avoiding down, but looking for plush softness, So, that's what prompted me to make the purchase. I did however start browsing the comments and reviews a day after i made the order, and came across the negative reviews..i did worry a little, but once it arrived, l was more than certainly satisfied. some reviews said it was "too flat" or "crunchy"..I would just like to let everyone know the "crunch" associated with this particular feather-bed, is from the cover. It is because it is extra tightly woven cotton, (to prevent the feathers from poking through) As for those people who stated "it isn't 5 inches" or "Feel like it was misrepresented" in terms of thickness or flatness...Feather beds, regardless if they're all down, or all feather, or blended WILL be comfortable and WILL flatten down, EVERY, NIGHT. The secret is it MUST, MUST, MUST!! I REPEAT MUST!!!! a MILLION times MUST!!!!!!! BE FLUFFED EVERY DAY FOR THE "CLOUD" or "SINK IN" FEELING AND TO REACH MAXIMUM LOFT (height) I REPEAT ...DAILY!!! and i cannot stress that enough. Fluffing every day = Thick, Puffy Soft, cloud 5+ inches high. Not fluffing = flat, still comfy not 5 inches high This feather bed is 5 inches + when fluffed. When i fluff it, which i do very thoroughly, EVERY DAY, is EASILY 5 + inches, never any less. i repeat, NEVER less than 5 inches, when fluffed. Thats the way feather-beds have been since the 14th century, and its STILL that way today. There is simply NO way around it unless you have someone else do it for you. so if you're lazy, you probably wont enjoy any feathered, ever. Sorry. I might also add this was my first mattress topper / feather-bed purchase ever, and i am very very please in terms of comfort to price ratio. I am sleeping comfortably every night thus far (its been a month since i received it) and have not had a problem with feathers poking/ coming out or anything of the sort. Cover is very high quality, as well as the baffled part itself. Amazing for the price, and considering buying a second one to put on top of this one. Just because im a glutton for comfort.
