About Feather & Down Pillows

A proper night’s sleep should leave you feeling refreshed and restored. We all need great sleep, each and every night. You may not realize it, but the pillow you lay your head on is a huge part of creating a bed that feels like a slumber oasis. For many, a down or feather pillow may be the right choice.

Feather & Down Materials

Down is not the same thing as a feather pillow; this is a common misconception. Some pillows combine the two materials, though. Down pillows are made from quill-less feather clusters of the chest and underbelly of geese and ducks, while feather cushions are comprised of soft, quill-containing feathers from the wings and backs of the birds. Down holds its loft up to three times longer than synthetic alternatives and is very soft.

What Else You Should Know About Feather & Down Pillows

If you take care of your down or feather pillows, they can last a long time. Be sure to treat them gently and with care. Compressing them for storage or using them in pillow fights can break down the material more rapidly. It is also very important to use both a protector and pillowcase to avoid exposure to moisture and other elements that will prematurely destroy your down or feather pillow.
