Benefits of a Feather Bed

Soft

• The main benefit of a feather bed is its softness. If your mattress feels too firm, layering a feather bed on top can help make it more comfortable. In particular, it can help reduce pressure on various parts of your body, including the shoulders, arms and legs. However, while it provides a softer feel for your bed, it does not affect the support that your mattress provides, so you do not have to worry about straining your back, neck or other joints.

Plush Look

• When you cover your mattress with a feather bed, it instantly takes on a plush, luxurious look. As a result, it is an effective option for an older mattress that may be showing the first signs of sagging. With the feather bed on top of the mattress, your bed still looks full and your comforter lies across it more smoothly.

Conformance

• Because the down used in a feather bed is so soft, the topper tends to conform to your body when you lay on it. As a result, it provides a snug, comfortable feeling as the feather bed surrounds you. In fact, you may find that you toss and turn less due to your feather bed's conformance.

Easy to Clean

• Unlike many other types of mattress toppers, a feather bed is extremely easy to clean. Some models are machine washable, so cleaning them is extremely convenient. However, if the washer is not safe for your feather bed, you can have it dry-cleaned as well.

Temperature Regulation

• If the temperature of your bedroom affects how you sleep, a feather bed may be the ideal accessory for your mattress. The feathers in the topper do not retain heat or react to changes in temperature. As a result, your feather bed remains cool no matter what season it is.

Price

• There are a variety of mattress toppers available that can make your bed more comfortable. However, they are often very expensive so they are not practical for all budgets. Compared to other mattress toppers, such as a foam model, a feather bed is relatively inexpensive. It can also be a cost-effective option because if you opt for a feather bed that utilizes compartments or boxes for the down, it will last for quite some time.
