Product Information

Quince offers a line of quality pillows that contain either real down or down alternative fibers. The Luxe Goose Down Pillow is the brand’s luxury down pillow, with a notably soft feel that should appeal to sleepers looking for a plush surface. Of course you should wash your pillowcases regularly; at least monthly and more often if you can, and you should also keep the pillow itself clean according to the care instructions provided by the manufacturer (also see our guide to how to wash a pillow). That way you're less likely to find yourself wondering why pillows turn yellow. Spring is in the air and the birds in our garden are nesting. I had been thinking about how best to recycle our old down duvets, feather duvets and pillows, and it occurred to me that the birds might like the down and feathers for their nests. So, here are our top tips on how to recycle your old duvets and pillows. Plus, suggestions on how to help nesting birds. Wool: Wool is an all natural material which is temperature regulating, breathable, hypoallergenic and resistant to the build-up of bacteria. They are a sustainable option that supports the farming industry. Wool is biodegradable, too. Although the majority of feathers come from China, they are also “produced” in Hungary, Poland, Turkey, the European Union and the U.S. How are down and body feathers removed from the birds?

Lauren is a Certified Sleep Science Coach with extensive experience researching and testing a wide variety of sleep products.Regarding filling they’re stuffed with 90% white goose feather and 10% white goose down feathers. This makes them considerably soft and comfortable to sleep on. However, for optimum performance what they do need is occasional fluffing.

For this test we worked our way through a constant rotation of new pillows, looking for those that helped us sleep better. The first thing we learned is that material is a key factor. Broadly speaking, there are five types that you need to know about: washable cotton, luxurious down, memory foam for support, modern microfibre and hybrids of two or more of those. See the FAQ at the bottom of this article for a full explanation of the pros and cons of each. Remember that down and feather pillows may be washed under special precautions. When in doubt, take them to the dry cleaner. The filling is carefully selected, cleaned and disinfected allowing for an odorless product. Not only is it safe for you but also for the environment since it’s recyclable. Many side sleepers enjoy the support of a body pillow in addition to the typical pillow that cradles the head.The fill is made from 75% Hungarian goose feather and 25% Hungarian goos down. The cover is made from 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton, which is known for its breathability and durability. The down and feathers have received certification from the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). The pillow comes in three sizes: standard, queen, and king. Compost when planting in the garden - as feathers compost, they add nitrogen and minerals to the soil and and are especially good for soft fruit like raspberries and strawberries - be green and green fingered! On top of being non-allergenic, the pillows are rather easy to take care of – they’re machine-washable and dryer-friendly, which will save you a lot of time. Made of 100% Egyptian cotton it’s not surprising why we voted this Continental brand the best-rated feather pillows. If you know anything about Egyptian cotton then you’re aware of the excellent quality it’s associated with. But for such a luxury brand owning one surely doesn’t come cheap and understandably so. While misleading claims and specs are widely used throughout the mattress and bedding industry, this problem is particularly common with products containing down. Some pillows contain 100 percent down, but most contain a blend of down and feathers from the same type of bird. The feathers provide more support to stabilize the pillow and prevent excessive sinkage.

This also means you can expect hypoallergenic pillows which are strictly disinfected. You won’t be getting any odors from this brand. When drying be sure to set in on the “air-dryer” only function so you don’t end up with unpleasant smells. Because it’s a medium-firm pillow, it’s suitable for all types of sleepers, making it very versatile and cost-effective. They’re also breathable and safe to use year-round, making them a great option for people who live in hot and humid climates. Super Standard: The super standard size measures 20 inches wide by 28 inches long, giving sleepers a bit more space than a traditional standard. This size is not particularly common, but some brands offer “standard” sizes that are technically super standards based on their measurements.Feather pillows are typically available in the following sizes, though sizing and availability will vary between manufacturers.
