I wanted to come here first thing because if I didn't I probably wouldn't get a chance to post my experience with this feather bed and if you're thinking about purchasing this feather bed think no longer make the purchase you won't be disappointed. Upon receiving my feather bed in the mail I noticed how very large white clean and thick it was, it also comes with the outer cover to keep it clean and also as some people suggest keep the feathers from flying around. I have not noticed that at all...My first nights experience was awesome to say the least....I really can't remember when I slept so good. If you want a higher bed truly by the 5" they talk about then this is for you, if you want something of really of great quality then this is for you, if you want something to help you to sleep better then for sure stop what you're doing and order this before it's gone. That's all I have to say. I might add that it helps to fluff up the feather bed once a week when you change your bedding as it keeps the bed nice and fluffy, and distributes the feathers.
