    No offence.
    I also heard that the animals are not killed for feathers. I tried to research it about two months ago, as my sister and I had a conversation about it.

    I would really like to know the truth, however, and would amend my purchases from this point out.

    I think most of the feathers come from China where duck meat is a common food - far more even than chicken. I'm sure they do'nt kill ducks just for the feathers!

    I remember sleeping at my grandma's house on a feather bed.. it was wonderfully comfortable.

    I love my feather bed, I wouldn't be without it. I have a down pillow and a down throw too, I can't sleep without them.

    I hate them. I must sleep on a rock hard bed. My grandmother has old fashioned feather beds, real matresses rather than just toppers, and pillows. The pillows to me are too squishy and suffocating and little feather pieces always escape and they are pokey.
