We bought this Down Featherbed to put on top of a very nice mattress that we bought a few months ago. We decided that after a few months, the aches and pains in our shoulders, neck and back were coming from our top end pillow top mattress. We tried a mattress topper from Bed, Bath and Beyond, but, it felt like we were sleeping in mud. We thought we might give this a try. This Featherbed is extremely comfortable. It is soft and lets your body relax on it. It also looks and feels like a very nice high end featherbed. We are very pleased with our purchase and highly recommend it.
