A down pillow is a big, fluffy puff filled with feathers, right? Not necessarily. The seemingly subtle differences between pillows can make a major impact when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep. When you choose the right down pillow for your needs, a blissfully restful sleep is just moments away. Let’s check out the basic types of down pillows to choose from.
Often less expensive feather pillows are mistaken for down pillows. Feather pillows are filled with feathers with quills, which can be uncomfortable. They provide plenty of support but are not as resilient as down pillows which is why they cost less.
Down pillows are filled with the fluff located under a bird’s feathers. Down is nature’s own insulator on birds and when used in comforters or pillows. A resilient down pillow also lets air circulate so your head does not perspire or get cold during the night while you sleep. Because of these outstanding capabilities, down pillows are more expensive than feather pillows.
If you are allergic to down, alternative down pillows are another possibility. Washable down pillows also work well for some folks with allergies because they can launder them frequently.
For the ultimate night’s sleep, treat yourself to a luxurious down pillow!
