Classic hotel down/feather engineering. Old solution, still relevant.

Why Scores Moved
| Category | Why | Receipt wanted |
|---|---|---|
| Support 3.7 / usable | Loaded height does the main work here: 4.9 in under 10 lb, then side/back angle. | Side 3.3 deg, back 3.2 deg; fill control noted. |
| Comfort 4.2 / good | down comfort starts with first squish. The 2 a.m. roll-over gets a vote too. | Night notes, pressure marks, cover wrinkles, and whether dual chamber: feather/down inner chamber with goose down outer chamber shifts. |
| Cooling 4.0 / good | Material airflow plus heat rise. A cold cover earns points with the probe. | TRI 31.5, +4.5 F heat rise, 10 minute pad. |

Bad Signs
Soft comfort gives weak structured support.
First physical test: Run feather migration check and post-wash clump score.
