What is this made of? I have purchased a comfy down feather bed and love it except I get poked by the feathers. Will this help or hinder?

Jolted: The Encase mattress cover is made of a soft polyester material, its not really a down feather bed. the Lucid Memory Foam Mattress I got is all foam not feathers to poke you with. Enjoy

Its a wonderful cover and I love it but Id suggest either a padded cover or I myself would get a memory foam topper. I actually bought this cover to go over my mattress and my memory foam topper but I bought a 3" memory foam topper and it was so comfy (and I have chronic pain), that I folded my memory foam topper three ways so its like a 9" twin topper and its heaven. I think you will feel those feathers through the cover alone.

This goose down is made of real feathers. I love my goose down and the older it gets the more the feathers fluff up.

It's a fiber fill (like polyfil that goes into stuffed animals but better) and it mimics the abilities of the feathers. Some people may be allergic so the alternative is nice. I am not allergic but I love this blanket. It has been great to keep me warm enough without keeping my husband overheated. Great purchase, great price.

No feathers - it's only a sheet-like cover for an existing featherbed. I had to return mine because I thought the same thing.

Feather Bed are not meant to sleep on directly, meaning not naked. They need a cover.Pacific Coast® Feather Bed Cover w zip closure Queen(feather bed not included) 157I bought this Pacific Coast® Feather Bed Cover w zip closure in tandem with this Feather bed and they are perfect together. The cover not only keeps it clean, but not a feather pokes through. Wonderful purchases. Highly recommend.

I don't find it hot at all. I sleep on a temperpedic mattress and find it sometimes too hot as the foam holds the heat. With the down feather bed on top of the temperpedic mattress, I am much more comfortable. Perhaps the down allows for air circulation the foam doesn't.

We have not had that problem. However, we do use a duvet cover. Again, we have not noticed any feathers.

It isn't feathers at all. Its a alternative to feathers. which is some form of stuffing. Just as soft though

Not firm at all. The feathers are very lose in the pillow and like I said I had to stuff them in small pillow cases to make them somewhat firm. I hope this helps you.

It should work. I haven't had any trouble with feathers sticking me at all. It's soft, I'm not sure if it is really something to use for support but very comfy.

That is specifically what I bought it for and secondly, because I hated all the little feathers all over the place (and probably in my lungs) from the down comforter.Buy the summer weight and don't use a coverlet on it. (You can wash these even tho it says dry clean. I've washed mine about a dozen times.)I think you will like the weight and the fact that it keeps you cool. I use it in conjunction with Hot Flash Rescue by Peaceful Mountain. You spray it on your chest and back of your neck. I don't wake up nearly as much as I used to. Hope this helped. (BTW: your doctor can prescribe a completely safe bio-identical cream that does not have estrogen to help you) That is specifically what I bought it for and secondly, because I hated all the little feathers all over the place (and probably in my lungs) from the down comforter.Buy the summer weight and don't use a coverlet on it.

Bed Cover w zip closure and I highly recommend it. No feathers poking me and it is so much easier to wash then the actual feather bed. Let me know if you have any further questions Heather

This thing isn't thick like a pillow -- it'll make a nice soft surface, but the foam topper would be more significant.I had a similar situation, and put on a foam topper plus this feather topper and the bed is pretty much heaven now. :)I recommend it.

Yes, it should have a heavy-duty cover that comes with it, too. And, yes, it sits on top of the mattress, then you put the fitted sheet on top of both the feather bed and mattress. Hope that helps!

A feather bed is heavy - you sleep on top of it. A cotton stuffed comforter is bulky, heavy, and not so warm. This down comforter is light, airy, incredibly warm. It breathes well and is not clumpy like cotton.

I read reviews and one person said the trick is to put a mattress pad over the featherbed so it makes it a lot harder for the pokey end of the feather to stick thru. I did that and have had no problems so far. I flip and shake out the featherbed weekly to keep it fluffy and evenly worn.

I put a hypoallergenic cover on mine and Ive had no issues with feathers poking through.
