Caring for Your Featherbed

At Restful Nights, we honor this rich heritage with modern craftsmanship, creating featherbeds that elevate sleep while remaining easy to maintain. With proper care, your featherbed will provide years of supportive, restorative comfort.

Upon Arrival

Your featherbed may appear compressed after shipping, this is natural and temporary. Gently shake it out and allow it to breathe. Over the next 24–48 hours, the fill will gradually expand, restoring its full loft.

Ongoing Fluffing

Each time you change your sheets, give your featherbed a quick refresh:

• Grab a corner and give it a hearty shake, ideally with another person for best results.

• Rotate or flip it regularly to prevent uneven wear.

This simple habit helps your featherbed stay full, balanced, and supportive night after night.

Protecting Your Featherbed

While featherbeds are designed to last, protecting them is essential for preserving their comfort and cleanliness. Since they’re not easily machine-washable, prevention is key.

Use a Protective Layer

• We recommend pairing your featherbed with a featherbed protector or high-quality mattress pad.

• This added layer helps guard against spills, stains, and allergens; extending the life of your featherbed while enhancing hygiene.

Spot Cleaning Tips

• For minor spills, gently move the fill away from the affected area.

• Clean the fabric surface with a mild detergent and damp cloth.

• Allow the area to dry thoroughly before use.

Professional Cleaning

If your featherbed requires a deeper clean:

• Look for a professional laundry service (not dry cleaning) with experience in handling high-volume bedding.

• Always confirm that the cleaner has the capacity and proper equipment to launder featherbeds safely.

What to Do If It Gets Wet

If your featherbed becomes damp:

• Dry immediately. Feathers must be fully dried to prevent clumping or odor.

• Shake and redistribute the fill during drying to ensure even airflow.

• A lingering smell or heavy clumping signals that moisture remains and further drying is needed.

Featherbed Maintenance at a Glance

• Daily: Give your featherbed a gentle fluff when making your bed.

• Weekly or Biweekly: Rotate or flip the featherbed for even wear.

• As Needed: Spot clean any spills promptly and dry thoroughly.

• Long-Term: Use a protective layer at all times and consider professional laundering when necessary.

Featherbeds transform ordinary mattresses into plush, cloud-like sanctuaries of rest. Whether you're adding softness to a firm mattress or rejuvenating an aging bed, proper care ensures your featherbed remains a luxurious foundation for Restful Nights year after year.
