If you have tried a feather pillow you either love it or hate it. A feather pillow has the notorious reputation for becoming flat after repeated use and you get poked in the middle of the night by the feather quills. A good feather pillow is only as good as what kind of stuffing is inside of it. If the stuffing is made of quality material you can expect the pillow to be fluffier, softer, have more loft, and not flattened out through repeated use. A feather pillow can be 100% feathers, 100% down or a combination of the the two.
Goose, duck or swan down feathers come from the undercoating of the bird. The feathers are lighter, larger and fluffier than feathers that the bird uses for flying. Down feathers are used to keep the bird warm and thus it makes sense that they would be fluffier. Normally the feathers of baby waterfowl are 100% down. Down is usually found in the highest quality of bedding and the cost is on average ten times higher than a plain feather pillow. If you plan to go with natural stuffing it doesn’t pay to go the cheap route because the pillow usually has poor workmanship and design which means that you’ll have to replace the pillow often.
A mature bird will give the best quality goose feathers you can expect. When the bird’s feathers have time to mature the fibers in the feathers are more durable and thereby create better sleeping comfort. A goose down pillow is generally softer and hold fluffiness better than duck down feathers. High quality feather pillows are hypoallergenic and much care is taken in processing and cleaning the feathers. Feather pillows are just like any other pillow in that you get what you pay for. When you pay for quality and properly care for these pillows they can last you for many years to come and you don’t have to be concerned that they will poke you at night
