Featherbeds are better than their modern counterparts, says a writer who used to stuff her own mattress when she was a child.
Evelyn Richardson wrote in the News-Democrat & Leader how featherbeds used to be considered a luxury and were "considerably" cheaper than the foam or latex equivalents available today.
However, she also mentioned a doctor once told her father that the cause of his back problem was the featherbed upon which he slept.
Memory-foam mattresses, such as those made by Tempur, are designed specifically to aid bad backs through relieving pressure and providing support in all the right places.
Tempur products are also relatively low-maintenance when compared to featherbeds, which can smell - according to Richardson History - and may sometimes need to be emptied and washed.
The Classic Bed Company offers a number of Tempur beds with free pillows.
Classic Bed Company is the UK's premier bed store for ultimate comfort and luxury offering Tempur, Vi Spring, Willis Gambier and French Sleigh beds.
Sleep in comfort with a Tempur or Vi-Spring bed.
