<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 20242, member: 78"]I should explain, it is NOT a comforter or a quilt. It is a large bag of down and feathers. It is 6 ft square I bought it on a trip to Danmark 30 yrs ago. It is like magic since it squashes down to fit in a standard size pillow case but then pops up to be 11" thick. Growing up in Western Pa with no central heat we slept on a feather bed on top of the mattress and covered with one. I am glad it happened then when I was young and did not have to get up in the middle of the night to pee. Of course the ones I grew up with were chicken and duck feathers and heavier. This one is so light and fluffy.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
