A stomach sleeper doesn’t need a pillow
Stomach sleepers should have no pillow at all that unnaturally bend the spine and neck. The more important consideration for them would be in the mattress leading into a discussion on mattress pads that can keep unwanted body fluids away from the mattress.
If a stomach sleeper prefers a pillow it should be soft. Remember that the neck and spine or back muscles will let you know if they are bending unnaturally as you may experience discomfort in the form of pain.
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.
