👉 A featherbedding is a type of mattress made from feathers. It is typically used for sleeping on, and it's often considered to be warmer than other types of bedding such as memory foam or down. Featherbeddings are made by weaving various strands of feathers into a sheet-like material, which then becomes the base of the bed. They're commonly found in the UK and Europe due to their popularity among people who value comfort and warmth.
