Down

They don't make down filled things like they used to. My grandmother used to have a feather mattress and I don't ever recall seeing feathers all around and never remember getting poked by a feather. I used to have a pillow and it poked me really bad and feathers everywhere even with two zipper cases and a pillow case on it.

I love odd photos too, Grandpa Bob. This shot is really cool!

I have a down comforter that I love to sleep under. Unfortunately it is only ever cold enough to sleep under it about 12 days a year here in Texas. I sadly fold it down to the foot of my bed most nights of the year.

Hi Gpa Bob..

I love the feather photo..teeny tiny for sure...I got some pillows that have feathers in them...I got them from my neighbors at their yard sale for free...These pillows are very old....I love them...

I don't have anything with down in it, it turns out I'm allergic to it! When I was small we had feather pillows and I would find it hard to breathe at night. The doctor said I had asthma and I guess I did. I think the pillow aggravated it. Later, I had a down sleeping bag and was miserable. I found out when I was in my 20's that I'm allergic to down! But I sure did love those down pillows, they were great!

I have feather pillows and now one of them has been leaking feathers...so I have to repair it or part with it. It does make a comfortable pillow. It was given to me long ago. I am not sure how old it really is....and I have a few others that I got at the same time so I hope they arent all going to wear out at once lol

I have some pillows that were my mothers that are down filled. They are so soft and cuddly! They beat the new foam pillows by a mile.

Hi GRANDPA BOB,


My pillows are foam because I suffer from asthma and feathers are lithal for me,but the picture of the feather looks really pretty, almost magical looking.

No, I don't own anything filled with down. And now I feel deprived. I have heard references to down comforters and such, yet never have I had the pleasure of testing these things out for myself. I guess that is one of the things I'll add to do before I die.

Hey Grandpa Bob! Yes I used to have feather pillows! But,
the feathers kept coming through the pillows and they would
end up stabbing me in the face when I was trying to sleep!
I finally got tired of picking up the wayward feathers and
gave up those pillows to the garbage can! I have never bought
those kind again! I know down is very warm, but those feathers
do manage to poke through~!

My daughter has a down coat. It keeps her very warm. On a day like today when it s 15 degrees it came in very handy. It was a gift from her Aunt. I do not have a down coat. I have coats that are leather, wool, and jean. No down pillows either. THey tend to make me sweat. I have a memory foam pillow.
