Down-On-Top Featherbed - Queen
$139.99
I was excited to get this bed, as I had read all the good reviews. I've been disappointed. The thing is, I'm not sure if the bed I'm reviewing is the bed we're looking at here. This is the bed that I ordered...it does NOT look like the bed I got.

I bought from hotbargainsnow, via Amazon. What I see in the picture is a double-layered feather bed, with a down top over a box-style feather bed. What I actually GOT was just the bottom box part. The bed came rolled up and tied, and I was so excited to get it that, believe it or not, I never noticed that it was NOT as pictured. It wasn't until I set out to write this review that I saw the pic and remembered the double layer--that was why I had ordered in the first place...so it seems I never even got what I ordered!

As far as what I got: the bed's shell is very thin--you can see the feathers through the fabric. Because the shell is as thin as it is, you can feel the quills inside. After a while, the quills started poking through and I started getting feathers everywhere.

The bed also came with a smell. Most down products do, but usually with some airing, the smell goes away. There has been a subtle smell to this bed that has not gone away after a month now.

I wrote hotbargainsnow for a refund--the first refund request I've ever made for ANYTHING I've bought through Amazon--but they refused. They offered to refund my shipping costs instead. I will NEVER do business with hotbargainsnow, and would recommend caution to all others out there as well who are considering a product from them.

As for the bed, I see that Target is now the vendor selling through Amazon, and I'm guessing one would have better success getting what is actually pictured from a company like Target. Hopefully what you'll get is as comfortable as the bed in the picture looks, and not like the bed I got. If hotbargainsnow offers anything further in recompense, I will update this review.

Woolrich Down Featherbed - Full
$69.99
I basically have two complaints about this product:

1) The featherbed slips down the side of my mattress after only 1 or 2 nights of sleeping on it. So, I have to strip my bed and reposition the featherbed every few days.

2) The feathers poke out and prick me, making it uncomfortable to sleep on. I solved this problem by purchasing a mattress pad to put on top of it, but that makes the process of stripping and remaking my bed more annoying.

Pinzon Chamonix Queen Reversible Dual Season Down Featherbed
$300.00
I had to send this one back. The feathers smushed down so after a short while, so it wasn't that soft. And it was hot! I believe they mistakenly sent me one that had been returned, since there was no consumer tag. Would recommend that you carefully inspect this if you order it. Feathers were also coming out of the seams.
