I didn't realize this is a baffle-channel construction, rather than a baffle-box construction when I ordered it, but that's my fault. This is a very good featherbed. You have to know what you're ordering when you get a featherbed. There is feather-proof ticking out there -- my great grandmother used it when she made hundreds of home made feather pillows. But no one in the industry acknowledges that it exists today. Because of this, feathers WILL come out of a featherbed. If you don't want to be poked by quills, you need to use a mattress protector. Not a super cheap one. The allergy protecting mattress protectors that zip on do a very good job of keeping the feathers contained, and keeping you from getting poked. And they are only about $** to $**.
You also need to be willing to fluff the featherbed frequently so that the feathers don't get matted down.
I have fibromyalgia, and I deal with pain every day. These featherbeds are not enough with just one by itself. I buy 2 of them and fold them both in half and then stack them. I put them both in a twin sized mattress protector. This keeps them in place pretty well. The featherbeds with ounces of filling will not be very good. You need to look in the description for featherbeds that contain POUNDS of fill. This one has 15 pounds of fill in the king-sized. Two of them stacked work nicely for me. It's like sleeping on a cloud. It reduces my daily pain level tremendously! If you can deal with these features, and look for a featherbed with plenty of fill, you will love them!
