From: Salome on 3 Oct 2005 14:15 Has anybody here tried a featherbed? I'd be very interested in your experiences with it. My bed is way too firm and it makes my pain worse. I've been looking at featherbeds that are about 6 inches thick and contain a mixture of down and feathers. I've already tried Tempur-Pedic and had a terrible time with it, so I don't want a memory foam topper. (I'm sensitive to chemicals in the foam anyway.) Thanks for any info you can give....

Most mattress manufacturers have them. Margo Salome wrote: > Has anybody here tried a featherbed?

From: Mercy on 3 Oct 2005 22:09 My husband and I both have bed toppers that are like featherbed toppers but made of a synthetic something or other instead. I think they hold up better than the feathers. It really really is comfortable for me. I also have an extra top built into my mattress. I cannot sleep on a firm surface.... can't even fall asleep and if I do, I am hurting badly when I wake up. I got this mattress topper at Bed Bath and Beyond where they have both feather toppers and the kind I use. As well, whenever my husband and I travel, we take along our toppers. We both have a single one in the event we sleep in two queen beds. I also put a double on my guest bed. They are wonderful IMO.

I use a featherbed. On top of the featherbed, I have a 2 inch visco elastic mattress topper. There are many types of featherbeds available. You most definitely want one that's baffled so the feathers don't move all around. I find the mattress topper to be the best. Costco currently has a 2.5" topper which look to be of good quality. I've had my topper for over 5 years and no break down. I don't have the brand name temperpedic either. I also had to air my topper out as the chemicals were nasty..
