There are several factors to consider when shopping for a new feather pillow. You will find bed pillows made of different types of feathers. The most comfortable feather pillows are made from goose down since geese are known to have the softest and yet the most resilient feathers. High quality goose down will often come from Canada, Hungry or Russia, where the cold winters produce geese with warm feathers. These pillows may be more expensive than other feather pillows, but they should last for many years if you take care of them.
Another benefit of down pillows is that the soft down “clusters” do not have quills that will poke through the pillow casing. Down pillows can be fluffed up so that pillows will remain plump and comfortable for years.
Other types of feather pillows include those made from duck or chicken feathers or a combination of different types of feathers. The packaging of the pillow or the online description should provide a breakdown of the type of feathers contained in the product.
Another factor to consider when purchasing a feather pillow is the desired firmness. Even though feathers are soft and comfortable, they can still provide support if you need it. Some people who sleep on their side will want a firmer pillow to support their neck. Check the fill power of the pillow to determine the level of support it provides. If you want a firm pillow, choose one with a fill power of 700 to 800.
It is also a good idea to select a pillow that has a pillow casing with high thread count and secure seaming for comfort and durability. Use a pillow protector in addition to a pillow case to extend the life of your feather pillow. For those people who may be allergic to feathers, there are down alternative pillows that mimic the comfort of feather pillows, while being hypoallergenic.
