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.
