The
feather
beds,
much
used
in
Europe,
are
undesirable,
as
they
are
unsanitary
and
are
too
warm
for
nearly
all
seasons
of
the
year.
It
is
always
best
to
sleep
between
clean
linen
sheets.
For
purposes
of
warmth,
however,
bear
in
mind
that
cotton
is
of
very
little
value,
whereas
animal-product
covers
such
as
wool
and
down,
or
feathers,
are
exceptionally
warm.
Cotton
comforters
in
cold
weather
are
very
heavy,
but
cold,
whereas
woolen
blankets,
wool-filled
comforters
or
down-
filled
comforters
are
warm,
but
light.
"A
warmth
without
weight"
should
be
the
chief
consideration
in
cold
weather.
And
in
using
woolen
coverings
you
can
get
sufficient
warmth
without
much
weight
and
with
the
very
least
quantity
of
covering.
In
summer
use
only
a
single
woolen
blanket
or
a
light
cotton
coverlet
over
the
sheet.
When
the
nights
are
hot
and
sultry
it
would
be
well
to
use
no
covering
of
any
kind.
For
warmth
in
winter
special
attention
should
be
given
to
warm
fabrics
underneath
the
lower
sheet
as
well
as
the
coverings.
One
may
become
chilled
from
underneath
if
lying
upon
a
thin
mattress
or
an
uncovered
mattress.
A
wool-filled
comforter,
or
double
woolen
blanket,
placed
over
the
mattress
and
under
the
sheet
will
contribute
greatly
to
one's
warmth.
If
the
mattress
is
of
proper
thickness
one
can
be
comfortable
with
less
covering
and
therefore
less
weight.
However,
I
would
suggest
as
a
better
plan
the
one
that
I
have
presented
of
sleeping
in
a
virtual
air
bath
the
whole
night
through.
