Featherbed Rocks were once a considerable feature, a stack or an arch, perhaps taking their name from the resemblance to a four-poster bed; however, the feature collapsed in the late 19th century and much of the material was used as building rubble, leaving now a flat area of rock shelving, accessible at low tide.
