Tents tend to be rather damp, condensation from you body and breath if nothing else, and everything you take inside that's wet from outside rain and dew etc. just adds to the problem!
Wonder whether the untreated feathers and probably cotton cover would have tendency to get and stay damp! Most camping gear uses synthetics for it's lack of water absorbency and quick drying.
I know plenty use domestic bedding in caravans, but they tend to be much dryer/less condensation than tents.
As a hill walker, natural fibres like cotton are frowned upon (called killer cotton!) because they so readily get damp and wick the heat out of your body, and are slow to dry. Down in itself is not waterproof, and gets wetted easily. It can be a problem with insulating 'Puffa' jackets.
I'm a big bloke, and I find some sleeping bags quite claustrophobic, bit like being wrapped and restrained like an Egyptian Mummy, so I sympathise with your plight, but there are some bigger and more comfortable ones around.
