Amazon.com Product Description
Revel all year round in the glorious comfort of a unique triple-layer featherbed that cradles and insulates the body, and relieves its pressure points. Chamonix's Dual Season Featherbed is fully reversible, with a quilted white goose down chamber on one side for warmth and comfort in the Fall and Winter, and a quilted, blowable Tencel chamber on the other side for breathability and moisture wicking in Spring and Summer. Contrast piping gives an immediate visual cue indicating seasonal reversibility, so you'll always know which side is up.

The cushiony chamber on the cold-weather side is filled with 20 total ounces of white goose down, and the warm-weather side is filled with 36 ounces of blowable Tencel. Filled in the supportive core chamber with a 17-pound blend of 40 percent polyester and 60 percent white goose down and feather, the featherbed enables healthy neck, spine, and hip alignment. Boasting a premium fill power of 650 in the cold-weather down chamber, the featherbed provides a real down value. Fill power indicates how many cubic inches of space an ounce of down will occupy, and anything at the 600 level is considered in the industry to be excellent. The higher the fill power, the larger and stronger the clusters of down. Large clusters provide superior insulation, breathe better, and last much longer than smaller, fragile down clusters used in lower quality bedding. And fret not about any stray feathers poking through this topper. The Chamonix featherbed's patented SoftPLUS dual-layer system provides a barrier to keep them in.

Dual Season Featherbed Diagram For superior softness, the featherbed's Tencel cotton outer shell boasts a 300 thread count in a dobby weave. Available in Full, Queen, King, and California King, the California-king-sized Chamonix Dual Season featherbed measures 72 by 84 inches. It is safe to spot clean at home or to dry clean.

Fabric Definition

Tencel Cotton: Far stronger than cotton alone, Tencel is durable, comfortable, wrinkle-resistant, machine washable, has little elasticity, and is very soft. In addition, it has good moisture absorption, and good static- and heat-resistance. Tencel Cotton fabric is a blend of the cotton fiber with the trademarked, man-made Tencel fiber, uniting the good qualities of each. Like rayon, Tencel is made from cellulose derived naturally from dissolved wood pulp. Unlike rayon, Tencel is processed without producing large amounts of sulfurous waste, sometimes leading it to be labeled "low impact" and "environmentally friendly." Tencel producers use a closed-loop chemical process in which its solvent can be filtered and reused. Tencel fibers can be used alone or blended with cotton, flax, polyester, wool, and spandex. Tencel fibers can be knitted or woven into a wide range of fabrics, including crepes, chambrays, poplins, and twills. Tencel fibers produce "fibrillation," the forming of tiny hairs, which can give some Tencel fabrics a soft, peach-fuzz texture.

Customer Reviews

Like Sleeping on a Cloud!
I ordered this product and got it on time. It is about 5 inches thick, is fluffy and made of nice material. Although there is no way to attach this to your mattress, so far that has not been a problem. Probably because the featherbed weighs 31lbs and stays in place. I have not had any feathers poking me as the down is in the top chamber, and not feathers. It was absolutely heavenly to sleep on and most of my circulation problems have not returned. I toss and turn a lot at night, and turning used to be difficult. Now it is very easy and comfortable to move around.

I would highly recommend this bed to anyone. Keep in mind that because of the thickness that makes this so comfortable, you will probably have to use only sheets that have a bottom sheet that is extra deep to accommodate the thickness.

Wonderful cloud
Our 16-year-old pillowtop mattress was getting less comfortable. When I read the reviews about all the problems with new mattresses, I decided to try this instead. I put it over the mattress, under the mattress pad. Voila---the cloudlike quality of our mattress is restored! I just shake it when I change the sheets--no other care needed. I like the 2 sides---one to use in warmer weather and one for cooler weather. I had read some reviews of down featherbeds that said they were too warm in summer, so I was happy to find this one. Very comfortable!

Finally, A Featherbed That Does Not Poke
I just got my queen size reversible featherbed last week - it has been amazing. Now I love feather beds ever since I traveled to Germany two years ago - but I have always had occasional feathers poke through. I can report back that one week later it has not poked me and it feels amazing. The site mentions lots of techy stuff - but I know form some shirts I have bought that I love Tencel fabrics. I also like the fact that I have the worm down side now in the winter and when it gets warmer in the summer I can flip it to the cool Tencel side.

My wife agrees that this feather bed has been a great buy and I we recommend it whether you have an older mattress or a brand new one!

Cheers,
Stef
