Choosing which blend is best depends on your personal preference and what is within your budget. Classic featherbeds include 75% feathers and 25% down.
At least 200 would be recommended as this can help prevent the feathers from poking through the fabric.
Most featherbed covers are made from 100% cotton, but many come in a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend.
The 50% cotton twin featherbed cover uses half cotton and half rayon for a natural/synthetic blend.
Featherbed covers can always be bought at Bed, Bath & Beyond or at your local mattress store. You can find featherbed covers anywhere that you can purchase a featherbed. Many shopping websites carry featherbed covers in a variety of sizes and prices.
Ordering featherbeds through direct-order warehouses is a good way to save money, as is buying online, though shipping may be costly.
Sealy posturepedic is the best brand you can buy.
You can store your clean featherbed in a waterproof blanket storage bag. You may even want to add some cedar chips or mothballs.
Sealy makes the best pads for a price.
Aireloom makes a very soft featherbed. anonymous@oola.com
The best of these covers are made from the down of eider ducks, Less expensive ones are stuffed with the down and feathers of domestic geese.
The Serta Feather Bed is a good one.
