    Got a question about featherbeds...

    When I bought my bed, I bought a featherbed to put on top to make it cushier. Are they supposed to be taken off when the weather gets warmer? I don't know much about them and because the weather is so hot and humid it's making me sweat in my sleep.

    Don't know about the featherbed, but my down pillow does the same for me, and my head sweats like crazy using it in the warmer weather. I can't do without it tho, so I just wrap a heavy bath towel around it, and that takes care of the problem. Maybe there is some kind of cover you can get for it that would produce the same results for you.
    Good luck..............

    Try a light blanket or even just a sheet instead. I can't imagine using a down comforter where I am unless it's below the freezing point!

    I take mine off in the winter, Donna. When it is hot, I think smooth sheets feel cooler than the featherbed topper. You might also try putting a mattress pad *over* the featherbed.

    I've got a mattress pad over the featherbed AND a visco-elastic topper. I think tomorrow I'm going to take the featherbed off. I'm sure it'll be cooler. Thanks everybody!!

    Down or featherbeds are the standard here- but in summer I only use a sheet. (I used to leave the down bed at the end of the bed so that Filou could have his nest in there.)
