filled with chicken feathers from the farm. i hauled it around in my truck for a month, taking it to different cleaners and the price to take the feathers out, wash the ticking and put the feathers back in was around 400.00. so, i put it out in the sun every day for a month and beat it every day with a rug beater. that’s what they used to do in the old days. it is a problem to display beds in the shop. i get them set up and put some wonderful quilt or bedspread on it and then the cat sleeps on it all day. oh….were we talking
