One of my best friends is a bachelor who wishes he wasn’t. He never tried to be a ladies’ man and maybe that’s part of the problem. His neat demeanor and extremely tidy home seem to threaten women and them the other way.

I told him he had to make his bedroom more inviting. The flat mattress and sensible white sheets simply weren’t inviting. Since he’s on the budget, we checked out affordable Egyptian cotton sheets and fluffy discount featherbeds. When he discovered the ease of shopping online, I was able to get his bedroom decorated in a female-friendly fashion.

The results were stellar. Instead of watching women make excuses, my friend found a fabulous lady who was lured by discount featherbeds. They lounged around in his updated bedroom amidst the comfort of those silky Egyptian cotton sheets and a puffy down featherbed. Who can resist a man with a bed that hugs you all on its own? It seems she fell in love with him and that awesome bed because they’re talking about moving in together…

Make your bedroom a seductive oasis with irresistible down pillows and discount featherbeds. After all, these simple decorating updates worked for my awkward friend!


Are you having a harder time getting to sleep at night? If insomnia hit home, you’re not alone. Recently a National Sleep Foundation poll revealed 27 percent of Americans are awake at night worrying about unemployment, personal finances or the economy.

As bills rise and incomes lower, people find it more difficult to unwind for bed. Looking for a job, facing unpaid bills and watching falling stocks on the news adds to your stress level. In a time when every penny counts, make a wise investment in a good night’s sleep. Purchase quality discount featherbeds to make your old mattress more inviting.

Even if you can’t afford a new mattress, a feather bed transforms your old one into a comfortable nest. Sink into a plush, inviting featherbed and feel all the stresses of the day slip away. The plush comfort of a featherbed makes you want to lean back, close your eyes and relax. Put your head on a down pillow, cover yourself with a down comforter and you’ll be sleeping like a baby.

If you’re one of the 27 percent of Americans awake all night thinking about money, it’s time to take action. Add a featherbed to your room for the peaceful rest you always dreamed of.

Did you ever want to get goosed in bed? Hey, get your mind out of the gutter!  You can do with with luxurious goose feather bedding. Sink into the plush comfort of feather bedding for the best night’s sleep ever. Supportive feather bedding made from goose and duck down is the ideal foundation for improved rest and relaxation.

Basically speaking, a feather bed is a body length pillow placed on top of your mattress. Often a feather bed is protected by a soft feather bed cover. A Pacific Coast Baffle Box Feather Bed is cushioned to cradle your body and enhance the firmness of any mattress. The deep cushion of resilient feathers gives you the support your need for a peaceful sleep. This high end feather bed is also allergy free with a baffled box construction and a silky 230 thread count, 100 percent cotton cover.

Adding a feather bed is the finishing touch your bed needs. Feel surrounded by luxury when you fall into inviting feather bedding. Make sure to have plenty of fluffy down pillows and a down comforter to create a perfect bed for sleeping and lounging. You never imagined getting goosed in bed could feel as good as top quality feather bedding!

Recently the world-renowned Mayo Clinic discussed ways to a better night’s sleep.  Some of the techniques included avoiding snacks, drinks and alcohol before bed and taking time to unwind before turning in.  Another suggestion made by the Mayo Clinic was to have a comfortable pillow and mattress.  While comfort is subjective for everyone, down feather bedding is the ideal way to get cozy. 

Who isn’t lured by the appeal of several puffy down pillows on a well-made bed?  Then when you sink into a soft featherbed and cover yourself with a warm down comforter, you know sleep is mere moments away.  The winning combination of a down feather bed, down pillows and a toasty down comforter is a definite recipe for sleeping success.

If you have trouble getting to sleep at night, try avoiding foods for a couple of hours before bed.  Unwind and settle down to sleep in a dark, quiet room.  Surround yourself with down for total luxury that makes you want to slip into dreamland right away.  You’ll be amazed as how easily sleep comes when you wake up refreshed the next morning!

Down bedding is the most popular because it is soft, insulated and welcoming.  A bed dressed in a down feather bed, down pillows and a down comforter invites us to a restful night.  Sleep is right around the corner as soon as you sink into the delightful depth of bed well-dressed in down.

While we know comforters are filled with down from ducks or geese, how much down is required to refer to it as “down bedding”?  According to the Federal Trade Commission, a product with a minimum of 75 percent down clusters qualifies to be labeled as “down”.  The remaining 25 percent might be feather fibers, down and small feathers that are between 3 cm and 6 cm in size.

The large down content is what makes the comforter insulated.  Much like down on a bird, a down comforter will keep you warm in the chill and cooler when it’s hot.  If you’re allergic to down or feathers, alternative down comforters give you the alluring comfort without the bother.

Either way, down bedding is the perfect way to get a good night’s sleep.

Do you sleep with a fan on?  Many people put on a fan automatically before going to bed.  Some want the movement of air.  Others like the steady sound of the fan to drown out other noises that prevent them from going to sleep.  Either way, a fan is reassuring for people during the summer and through other seasons of the year.

If you run a fan at night, make sure to read the manufacturers’ specifications first.  Some fans can only be run for a certain period of time.  Avoid unnecessary risks and invest in a quality fan that serves all  your needs safely.

Another way to ensure a good night’s sleep is comfortable down bedding.  Down pillows, feather beds and down comforters welcome you to your nest.   Sink into their cozy softness and feel like you’re on a cloud to the land of rest.  Down bedding is insular to keep you cool in the warm weather and toasty in the cold.   Through all the seasons, a good fan and attractive down bedding are the perfect way to get a restful sleep.

Everyone waits for the long, languid day and sultry nights of summer.  Warmer weather means more time outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine.  Summer also means hotter nights that make it more difficult to fall asleep.  How can you help yourself get to sleep on an excruciatingly hot evening?  Consider these easy ways to catch some zzz’s:

1. Wear light, cotton pajamas to bed.  Going naked or wearing polyester is not as cool as pajamas made from natural cotton.  They absorb perspiration and help to keep you cooler.

2. Keep the room at about 75-80 degrees.  Whether you use air conditioning, a fan or open windows. make sure your room is no more than 80 degrees at night.  Higher temperatures make it harder to get your essential rest.

3. Use a soft down pillow.  A soft natural down pillow will not hold in heat while keeping your head and neck completely comfortable.

4. Take a warm bath.  Take a warm bath a couple of hours before bedtime to help circulation and cool down.

5.  Put on a sleep mask.  If it’s still light out during your customary bedtime, a sleep mask is an affordable solution.

In just minutes, you’ll be slumbering on a sultry summer night!

A soft, comfy bed isn’t just for slumber.  Many people like to sink into their bed to relax and get away from it all.  When you close the door of your bedroom and slide between the cotton sheets and down comforter, the outside world feels a million miles away.

Consider a few common ways people unwind in bed:

 -Snuggling up to several puffy down pillows to feel like you landed in a cloud.  Before you know it, you’ll be taking a nap.

-Watching television propped up on a stack of thick down pillows.

-Reading a great book with no interruptions.  Make sure you have a good nighstand light.

-Cuddling up with your children and telling stories.  Plenty of giggling and snacking is encouraged!

-Lay in a prone position for 10 minutes of deep breathing and streching to feel energized and renewed.

A cozy bed with down bedding is an inviting place to escape reality and recharge your personal batteries.

Getting Down To Business

Instead of coffee breaks, many businesses are considering the benefits of a “nap” break. While caffeine might perk employees up for an hour or so, they wind up tired and less productive afterwards. A nap rejuvenates the body, mind and spirit to face the remaining hours of work with greater energy and enthusiasm.

A book entitled, “Take A Nap! Change Your Life” is changing the face of break rooms everywhere. Sara Mednick authored the book and tested the napping concept out on employees of its publisher, Workman Publishing Co. The employees who napped worked better than those who did not. As a result, Workman now allows their employees to take a “nap break”.

These conclusions were confirmed by Dmitry Lvovski, Bridgeport Hospital director of the sleep center. He noted many folks feel tired between 1 PM and 5 PM. Quick naps are refreshing and Lvovski commented, “If you take a nap, you kind of unload that need for sleep, and you feel more awake.”

Whether you’re an employee or employer, it’s time to change the face of your break room. Instead of bright lights and coffee machines, dim the lighting and add a few down comforters and pillows. After a few minutes snuggled up in a down comforter, employees will return to work feeling motivated and relaxed rather than jittery and nervous. Even the most stubborn employee won’t be able to resist the relaxing lure of a down pillow!

While you may know the basic differences between a down pillow and a feather pillow, there is more to consider when you pick the perfect pillow.  Let’s consider what you may not know about down pillows for the best night’s sleep.

The outer casing holding the down is called ticking.  Ideally it should be 100 percent cotton with a high thread count to keep the feathers in.  Fill power is the space in inches an ounce of down takes at expansion.  Try to get a fill power around 600 to feel that puffy fluff you want under your head when you go to bed.

If you sleep on your back, get a medium down pillow.  Tummy sleepers will want a soft pillow while side sleepers should opt for a firm one.  The position you start sleeping in how you determine which firmness to choose.

 While some folks think you can only get a down pillow or a feather pillow, there are other options.  If you have allergies, down alternative pillows are a good option.  Those on a tight budget might consider a down and feather combo pillow.

Replace your down pillow everyone one to two years.  Heavy sleepers may need to update their pillows every six months.  Make good use of the tags on your pillows to write the date your bought them so you know how old they are.

 Now you’re ready to choose the perfect down pillow for a dreamy night’s sleep!
