Rev.,
  My gramma, of Alsatian descent, had a featherbed, which was a grand-delux comforter, and which I still remember fondly. A while back I learned about the duvet cover, which is essentially a hugh pillow slip generally made of cotton into which you put the comforter/featherbed as though it's a really big pillow. This makes for easier washing, when needed.
  Try <overstock.com> to find exactly what you want, cheaply, but of the highest quality. They also sell extreme-high-count, (threads per inch), all-cotton sheet sets which are supremely luxurious and at a lower cost than even WalMart. I have a featherbed for me and another one for the grandkinder--he loves it.
  It is likely that the main difference between what is known as a comforter and a featherbed is that comforters are full of poly-fil-fiber (man made and lighter weight) and featherbeds are filled with down. The high-thread-count fabric cover is to better keep the feathers from escaping.

  Hello Wayne and Honor,
The question is not weird at all. Comforters are something nice soft plush and warm 
in the winter and the thin kind cool enough in the summer. Usally presized to fit most beds 
they are filled with down. You will have to cover them with slip over buttoned or zippered 
sheets for soil protection.
No plastic Material all organic down cotton or better. They are not too expensive and once 
you got used to them, this is easy, you´ll not want to be without. (Sales pitch). If you have a 
queen size or king size bed get two, one for each of you to wrap up in. 
2,00 meter by 1,40 m is a good size.

I´m going out to check on size and price in the next few days and will answer this e-mail again with pertinent info.

All the best,
Ciao
