Claims6
A quilted-top featherbed, comprising:
- a featherbed member, adapted and arranged to lie on top of a conventional bed mattress in combination therewith for support of a human body, the featherbed member being further adapted and arranged to be readily removable from the bed mattress, the featherbed member having a weight and fill suitable for use as a featherbed in combination with the bed mattress but not suitable as a mattress by itself;
- and
- a quilted-top member non-removably secured substantially continuously around the periphery thereof to the featherbed member, by a line of stitching, such that the quilted-top member is not removable from the featherbed member, the quilted-top member including an upper fabric layer, an intermediate layer and a lower fabric layer, wherein said upper, intermediate and lower layers are stitched together in a quilted pattern, wherein the intermediate layer extends substantially the entire length and width of the quilted-top member and comprises a material which prevents feather quills from the featherbed member from being sensed by a user lying on the quilted-top featherbed.
