The quills in your feather pillow can poke at you as you sleep, making sleep uncomfortable. However, there are still advantages to choosing to sleep with a feather pillow. So, what do you do if you want to keep using your feather pillow but donât want it to make your nights uncomfortable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This article will discuss some ways you can make your feather pillow more comfortable<\/a>, as well as some tips for choosing a feather pillow that wonât poke you. Read on to get one step closer to a great nightâs sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this post, we'll cover:<\/p>\n
Using multiple pillow covers is the simplest solution if the quills in your feather pillow are poking you. If you can get another pillowcase, add it to your pillow. If you are still getting poked, keep adding pillowcases until you donât notice the feathers poking you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the type of pillowcases you have and the severity of your feather-poking problem, you will likely only need to add one or two additional cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pillow casing made of ticking material will go a long way in keeping the feathers in your pillow from poking you. Ticking is a material specially made to cover pillows and mattresses and ensure that the stuffing doesnât poke through. For this reason, having high-quality ticking in your pillowcase ultimately makes your pillow more comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best pillow ticking should have the following qualities:Â <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since ticking is not very comfortable to sleep on, you should consider placing a pillowcase or other cover over it. A pillowcase will also help if you donât like striped colors, considering that ticking fabric is almost always striped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can easily get ticking fabric online. This Waverly Timeless Ticking Fabric<\/a> on Amazon, made of pure cotton, is a great option. The fabric is a substantial weight, and the product is relatively cheap. Once you have the material, you can either make the casing yourself if you can or get someone to do it for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your feather pillow may be made of a high-quality shell that doesnât allow the feathers to poke through. However, the feathers could still be poking through at the seams. This happens for several reasons, including poor-quality sewing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If one of the reasons behind your poking problem is worn seams, you can resolve the issue by oversewing the edges. In oversewing, every stitch passes over a join. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oversewing tightens up the seams and reduces the chances of leaks happening in the future. And if the feathers in your pillow were only poking you through the seams, you would have solved your problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you have used your feather pillow for a long time, it is natural that it might have become worn out in some places. At times, only one spot or area is worn out, and the rest of the pillow looks fine. Such an area can cause discomfort by allowing feathers to poke through and get to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patching up such an area can solve the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You donât have to be particularly skilled in sewing. A basic stitch will do. In addition, if you are using a pillowcase or other cover, the material you use to apply the patch doesnât matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
