They seldom have odor or allergy-causing potential. THE BAD: Fiberbeds may be too thin and lumpy for some. They tend to provide little support. Shaking / fluffing may be needed to maintain loft and comfort. Machine washing and drying may cause damage. THE TOPPER: A fiberbed is filled with polyester fiber or down alternative puffball. Despite its name, a fiberbed is not an actual bed or mattress, but rather a mattress topper or thick mattress pad.
