What is a feather bed and how do you know which one is good?
EdWaldo
Featherbeds are designed to fit over a mattress as a topper, and to provide additional comfort and temperature control. As their name indicates, the fill is generally feathers, which offers softness. They are constructed similarly to duvets, so look for a baffled or box stitch construction to avoid feather buildup in the corners of your featherbed.

Is a feather bed better than a regular one Why or Why not?
It will depend on each individual person as to whether a feather bed is better than a regular one or not. If you like soft beds with minimal support and are not allergic to feathers than feather bed may be best for you. If you require a firmer mattress or if you are allergic to feathers than it is not a better choice than a regular bed. Additionally a feather bed will hold more heat so in a warmer climate it may not be the best choice.

Selecting and Caring for a Feather Bed?
If your mattress is a bit too firm for your liking or your current pillow-top has lost it’s cushioning, a feather bed may be just what you need to make your current mattress more comfortable. A feather bed topper is considered a luxury item and it takes only one night’s rest on one to see why. Feather filled bedding is soft, yet supportive and provides excellent insulation while conforming to the contours of the body. When shopping for and using a feather bed, there are a few key things to consider. For those shopping for a feather bed, keep price in mind when choosing the type of feather filling. There are two basic types of feather filling available; actual feathers from birds such as ducks and geese and the under down from the same birds. Down is typically much more expensive than actual feathers, therefore, a feather bed that is comprised of mostly down will be much more costly than a bed that is an even mix. For an even more affordable option, choose a feather bed that is made up of almost entirely feathers, with just a small amount of down. Once a shopper has selected the desired feather bed, it is important to follow a few simple rules to ensure that the bed is properly cared for. The first step in properly caring for a feather bed is to remove it from any packaging shortly after purchase, and allow it to “breathe” or air out. This will allow any odors that may have developed during manufacturing or packaging to dissipate along with any humidity that may be present. The next step in caring for your feather bed is to fluff the feathers by lifting and shaking the bed, allowing the feathers to separate and spread out. This step can and should be done not only before the first use, but each time the bed linens are changed. This step will help to prevent the feathers from clumping and will prolong the life of the feather bed. Feather bed toppers can be dry cleaned when necessary. If cared for properly, a feather bed can transform a common mattress into a luxurious retreat.
Plus what to do with a feather bed overlay when feathers start poking out?
Feather beds are generally 95% feather and 5% down. Feather has a quill and will poke out. If you have not purchased a cover (like a pillow protector) consider one as this will slow the process down. As well a cover can be removed and washed to keep the bed fresher. On your next purchase of a feather bed, consider 50% down & 50% feather this will drastically reduce this from happening - the down side (so to speak) is down is significantly more expensive and the cost of your feather bed will more than double. You will also find as time goes by the quills of the feather will become slightly bent and not as prone to poking through. For the immediate fix - just pull the little buggers out - sorry, this will be a little tedious, but works. Steve@verolinens.com
