Everything stays in shape here: the properties of feather pillows

Isn't a feather pillow the same as a down pillow ? no Feathers come from the plumage of ducks and geese and have a quill. Down, on the other hand, is found on the lower plumage of birds and looks like small tufts with long threads. In addition to the visual difference, both also have different properties. While down feels soft and fluffy and warms well, feathers are firm and robust.

If you want a supportive pillow and not a soft, yielding one, then a feather pillow is for you. It stays in shape and doesn't flatten out as much when you lie on it. Another advantage is the good temperature regulation. Moisture is absorbed and released into the air, so you don't sweat as quickly. If you like it a little cosier, then opt for a pillow with a feather-down mixture.

Tips for buying: How to find a suitable feather pillow

If you want to buy a new feather pillow, you should think about the composition of the filling and the size. There is help here.

The filling

Feather pillows are pillows that are at least 70% filled with feathers. The higher the proportion of feathers in the filling, the firmer and heavier the pillow. To make the head pad softer, many models are made from a mixture of down and feathers. The more down is added, the more cuddly it becomes and the better the pillow warms.

Tip: So-called three-chamber pillows are comfortable . The fillings are separated from each other here and thus remain firmly in place. The two outer chambers are loosely filled with feathers and partly also with down, so that they feel very soft. The inner chamber, however, only with down, so that the cervical spine is supported.

The size

Feather pillows come in different sizes. The most common is the standard format 80 x 80 cm. Not only does your head lie on the pillow, but there is also space for your neck and shoulders. Pillows measuring 40 x 80 cm are often preferred by stomach and side sleepers so that the spine is relaxed and straight during sleep. If you lie on your back, your head and neck will be supported. Popular formats for decorative cushions are 40 x 40 cm, 50 x 50 cm and 40 x 60 cm.

The reference

The pillowcase that encases the feathers and down is usually made of 100% cotton. The material can absorb and release moisture well. With an additional pillowcase , which is available in a wide variety of materials, you can protect your feather pillow from moisture, wear and tear and dirt. Most pillowcases are part of the bed linen, but you can also buy them separately. You can choose covers for decorative cushions to match your style of living.
