Featherbed

The whole bed mess


never actually exploded when we clamped it all down with a fitted sheet, but it threatened to.

Want to know how well it worked? It was awful. Who knew a giant pile of fluffy feathers could be so warm? It didn’t sleep hot and sweaty, but it sure slept hot! Great insulation, that goose down. I don’t think we’re in the right climate for a featherbed. Maybe if we were in Minnesota in the winter….

So, subtract one layer, the featherbed, leave the foam pad on for comfort, and get separation from the foam with cotton. (Did you know that if you order a 100% cotton mattress pad, you’re liable to get a 100% cotton mattress pad with pure 100% polyester fill? Really. It can happen.)

A completely cotton mattress pad helped. More than one pad helped even more. It’s a good bed now.
