A baffle box makes for an even feather distribution.
A baffle box is a term in bedding referring to three-dimensional boxes of fabric wall that create a maximum thickness that is evenly distributed on the inside of Pacific Coast feather beds. A second attribute from the baffle box design is comfort, as the feathers are kept from shifting and leaving gaps and clumps.
Feather beds should be covered as you would any mattress, preventing direct contact of the body. It is important to protect the feather bed so that washing can be kept to a minimum to extend the life and the cover can be washed often.
Should you treat your feather bed like a mattress?
If you own a feather bed and did not purchase a feather bed cover here are a few details to consider. Unlike a mattress cover a feather bed cover needs to be zipped. The cover can be washed like a regular mattress cover.
A good feather bed cover will help your feather bed stay cleaner and help it to last longer. The cover should be snug fitting and it should be made with 230 thread count 100% cotton. Look for at least a 5-year warranty and a comfort guarantee.
What kind of feather bed warranty should I look for?
When shopping for a feather bed make sure to compare guarantees and warranties. A good feather bed should have at least a 30-day comfort guarantee so that you can try it out, with your money back if it is not right for you.
A good warranty is 10-years against workmanship and material defects, but you must register the product soon after the purchase. Because your feather bed is made of feathers you should look for an allergy-free warranty, which should be for the first 30-days.
Maximum loft from a well constructed feather bed
Pacific Coast Feather Company produces Luxury Baffle Box feather beds that are hyperclean. A restful night sleep is realized due to relaxed muscles and good circulation.
Baffle box construction allows for maximum comfort and loft that provides the best quality to be found in a feather bed. Your mattress is made better being supported by a good quality feather bed for your tired body at the end of a long day.
Good quality feather beds don’t need fluffing
problem that is experienced with feather beds is that feathers shift under the weight of a body, resulting in ineffectiveness. The bed must be re-fluffed occasionally to restore fluffiness and ensuring uniformity of comfort.
The design of Pacific Coast feather beds allow for maximum fluff and less feather shifting so that uniform comfort is realized night after night. A proper design allows your body to be cushioned and supported in the proper places for maximum relaxation of muscles and improved circulation.
Relaxation from stress on a feather bed
Pacific Coast Feather Company makes a feather bed that cushions pressure points to help your body relax in a higher level of comfort. At the end of a stress-filled day this feather bed will contour the shape of your body to relieve the shoulders and hips and give relaxation right where it is needed.
A special process is used to remove dirt, dust, and allergens from the feathers that leave them clean and fluffy. The fabric used is leakproof and 100% cotton that is soft and durable and ensures easy care.
Washed, dried, and sorted down and feathers
Manufacturers in the U.S. buy washed and pre-washed down product, that were sent through large washing machines that remove impurities. The fill is dried and sorted in separating machines for quality, feather size, etc.
Washed product is imported and is available for use upon receipt as soon as it arrives in the U.S. to be made into bedding products such as featherbeds or down blankets. Pre-washed down and feathers need further processing after arriving in the U.S. before it is put into a finished product available for public consumption.
A story of a family in a cold place
This is the story about a family that lives in a very cold place where the sun shines eight hours a day in the winter. This family has a mother and father and three children, one boy and two girls.
The father has the responsibility of providing a warm place for his family so that they can be raised healthy. Every night each of the children has a soft featherbed to sleep on instead of a synthetic mattress.
Softness with Support to Match
It’s not always easy to find a happy medium, and that’s especially true when it comes to bedding material. People demand a mattress that isn’t too firm because comfort remains a top priority. On the other hand, a mushy mattress that gives way under the slightest bit of pressure can be bad for the back and joints. The key is to find a balance between the two – a perfect equilibrium that’s one part comfort and one part support.
Feather beds are the sensible solution, as their downy softness is unparalleled. At first blush, one might expect a feather bed to err on the soft side, but baffle box technology keeps the material in place to ensure support. Some down comforters have a tendency to become bunched after extended use, but that’s never a concern with a high-quality feather mattress topper.
Separate feathers and down
Down has a quality that makes it ideal when compared with all other natural and synthetic materials used to make bed covers. Down has a remarkable ability to breathe, a quality that actually can lift perspiration away from the body, something that synthetic materials cannot do.
Feathers provide some of the same qualities as down such as insulation, but are different in that they are used to give support. Featherbeds are a common usage for feathers, which is something I will write about more in future posts to this blog.
