I have not seen or felt one feather poking through! I love this comforter, it is however VERY warm. We keep our room cool at night (~60 degrees) and I have felt too hot at times. Great deal for the money.

I have had the comforter for almost 1 year and I have had a few feathers come out but not enough to cause me any concern. The weight of the comforter is perfect in Texas. It is not heavy to overheat me and captures my body heat in the winter weather.

Received as a gift. I am so happy to have it! It is tiny, tiny micro feathers that come out. No feathers poking through.

So, I really like the blanket, almost say love, but what I don't love about it is that feathers do fly everywhere. Little ones, but that makes it hard to clean up. With my last comforter, I never used a cover bc I didn't like the cover. But with this one, I MUST use a cover or the feathers do get everywhere. No feathers poke through either. Also, the temperature of the cover is good. Cool enough to use in the summer, and warm enough for the winter. So, not really a regret bc the price was right, but as long as you use a cover, I think you will be happy with it!

The plastic like lining to the interior of the pillow cover will absolutely keep any feathers from coming out through this cover. It would also keep any dust or other detritus from coming in contact with you while sleeping. I am still using and satisfied completely with this cover. By extension, I would never use any pillow without a "sanitary" over-cover on the pillow. I have not washed it yet but will not put it in the dryer as I am afraid the dryer might damage the interior lining. That's OK as I only wash the over-cover "so often" as it is protected by the pillow case which is changed regularly.Hope this helps. Please ask if you have further questions.

Yes it will fit. I think there was a choice for 'long' but I didn't not get that. My daughter returned a different brand because it was fluffy and heavy enough. This one is quite heavy and extremely warm. Gets very fluffy especially after a few days and use and loosening of the feathers . She loves it.

I have only had my duvet for a few months and I haven't had any problems with the feathers comin thru. The only closure the duvet has though, are buttons. Guess it depends how bad yours shed.

I bought them for my 10-year daughter. She likes them but I have to put them in and take them out. I bought them as party favors for her birthday party too and the girls were excited about them and I put the feathers in several girls' hair before they left the party.

Truthfully, I don't know...it was a great price & no feathers flitted about when I put it on so I'm thinking no....would love to find out about the humane plucking...it hurts MY human head for me to pull out a stray gray...

I bought mine from china. The description was in inches from one posting and cm on another they ended up the same length. With peacock feathers the eyes are what is used. The length comes from trimming down the white parts that actually keep the feathers in the bird. I don't know what your situation is or what you are using them for but in my experience these feathers were missing a lot of eyes!!

It is a little warm. I have a difficult time getting sheets or mattress pads that will cover both the mattress and the feather bed. You are better off using a separate cover made just for the feather bed. I do not have a problem getting stuck by feathers at all. Very comfortable.

It may be a little bottom heavy for hanging. And it's a bugger to clean. You have to relocate your bird and take the bottom off to clean it. I bought 3, used one and I don't like it. I did at first.....until it got dirty.

Hey Hoot. I've been DE shaving for a while and it really doesnt take anything special. I rinse the razor in hot water after each shave and do a more thorough cleaning when I change blades. Feathers last three shaves for me.

I've not noticed the feathers leaking out but because it is a down & feather mix there is a rare feather poke from time to time. I've bought more expensive comforters and the feathers started leaking after 2-3 washings. So far this one is on wash 3 & still no leaking.

My feathers are now missing also but they like it just the same....Never heard of there being replacements for them. Good luck! :)

The feathers and such are held together with a plastic coupling that attaches to the string using a fishing clasp so you can replace it with other other ends. Totally safe.

After months of use we have yet to be poked by a feather. These are made with very high quality material that seem to keep any feathers in...although there should be very few feathers mixed in with the down.

I have one and I am not a big fan of dry cleaning down. The chemicals are not good for the feathers. I have a large capacity front load washer that I used with a mild detergent and it came out beautiful. I would not use the sanitize setting on the washer. I also dried it at home on a gentle setting. Next time I will have it professionally laundered, ensuring a mild detergent is used. The feathers get brittle a break from dry cleaning. These comforters last for years if taken care of properly. Just think of the detergent used to clean ducks and shore birds after an oil spill ;-)

Feathers are great but don't hold an edge as long as Wilkinson Sword. The feathers are the sharpest I've used but with a coarse beard they're only good for a couple shaves. Wilkinson is my everyday blade, but if I haven't shaved for a few days I throw a Feather in my Edwin Jagger D89 and it'll go right through it. Parker 92 is my everyday razor I pair with a Wilkinson blade.

We have not had that problem. However, we do use a duvet cover. Again, we have not noticed any feathers.
