I keep thinking about this topic and wondering *why* that mattress topper just does not feel right in summer - no reason that it should be hot since it is *under* us in this case - but I can't stand it in summer. There is just something more cooling about smooth sheets that you can't feel with the feather topper. In winter, however, it is SO COZY!!!

I am thinking that the European featherbeds go *over* like covers?......what Americans call down or feather comforters/duvets? Or do they go both under AND over? In summer, I still like my down comforter because it is so light and cool.
