To care for your feather bed, flip and fluff it regularly - as often as you change the sheets, preferably. It will last longer if you keep it covered with a fitted sheet or feather bed protector (which can be laundered). Should your feather bed get damp or wet, make sure it dries out completely or it might mildew or rot. Finally, your feather bed should not be washed at home! If spot cleaning isn't enough, you'll need to take it to a dry cleaner for professional care.
