FAQs
How often should I wash my feather and down pillow?
It is generally recommended to wash feather and down pillows every 6-12 months, or as needed. Over-washing can degrade the filling.
Can I use this pillow if I have allergies?
This pillow contains duck feathers and down, which can be allergens for some individuals. If you have severe allergies, consider using a hypoallergenic pillow protector or consult with a healthcare professional.
What does 233TC mean?
TC stands for thread count. 233TC refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric, indicating a good quality, tightly woven percale cover.
Is the filling 100% down?
No, the filling is a blend of 85% duck feather and 15% duck down. This blend is designed to provide a balance of softness and support.
What is the best way to store the pillow when not in use?
Store the pillow in a breathable fabric bag or pillowcase in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
Does the pillow come with a pillowcase?
No, this product is for the pillow only. A standard pillowcase is required and sold separately.
How do I ensure the pillow dries completely after washing?
After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls. Check for complete dryness periodically and continue drying until no dampness remains in the filling to prevent mildew.
Troubleshooting
Pillow feels flat or lost its shape.
Gently fluff the pillow by hand or tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls to restore loft and shape.
Faint scent from the filling.
Air the pillow in a well-ventilated area for a day or two. The scent usually dissipates with airing and use.
Pillow feels too firm/soft.
The pillow offers a balanced fill. For significant adjustment, consider using it with a firmer or softer pillowcase, or layering another pillow.
