FAQs

Is this pillow suitable for allergy sufferers?

Yes, the down filling is washed, sterilized, and steam purified to the highest European standards, making it hypoallergenic and anti-dust mite.

What is the best way to wash this pillow?

Machine wash at 40°C using a mild detergent in a large capacity washing machine. Ensure it is thoroughly dried, ideally by tumble drying on a low heat setting, possibly multiple times.

What bed sizes is this pillow best suited for?

Due to its large emperor size (50cm x 100cm), it is best suited for King or Super King beds to complement the pillow's dimensions and provide a balanced look.

How much filling does the pillow contain?

The pillow contains approximately 1700 grams of Hungarian goose down filling, providing extra fill for maximum support and comfort.

Can I use standard pillowcases with this pillow?

No, this is an emperor-sized pillow (50cm x 100cm). You will need to purchase specific emperor-sized pillowcases to fit.

How often should I clean my down pillow?

Down pillows do not require frequent washing. Spot clean minor stains and air the pillow regularly. Professional cleaning or washing at home should only be done when necessary, typically every 1-2 years, following the care instructions carefully.

Will this pillow sleep hot?

No, the natural Hungarian goose down filling is breathable and helps regulate body temperature by trapping warm air for a snug feel without causing overheating.

Troubleshooting

Pillow seems flat upon arrival

Gently fluff the pillow by hand or tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls to help the down filling expand and regain its natural loft.

Pillow has a faint odor

Air the pillow in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours. The odor is typically natural and temporary.

Difficulty finding emperor size pillowcases

Search online retailers or specialty bedding stores using the dimensions 50cm x 100cm or 'emperor pillowcase'.

Pillow clumps after washing

Ensure the pillow is completely dry. Tumble dry on low heat, using dryer balls and running the dryer multiple times if necessary. Break up clumps manually during the drying process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Upon receiving your pillow, gently fluff it to help the down filling regain its natural loft. It is recommended to air the pillow for 24-48 hours in a well-ventilated area before first use to allow any natural odors from the filling to dissipate.

Compatibility

  • Pillowcases: This pillow is an emperor size (50cm x 100cm). Ensure you have compatible emperor-size pillowcases. Standard king or queen size pillowcases will not fit.
  • Bed Size: It is best suited for larger beds such as King or Super King sizes to complement the pillow's dimensions.

Care Instructions

  • Washing: Machine washable at 40°C. Use a large capacity washing machine, as the pillow's size and filling can become very heavy when wet and may strain smaller machines. Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is crucial to ensure the pillow is completely dry to prevent mildew and clumping of the down. You may need to run the dryer multiple times or periodically remove and air the pillow to break up clumps. Adding dryer balls can help to restore loft.
  • Maintenance: Regular fluffing will help maintain the pillow's shape and loft. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or if unsure, consider professional laundering specialized in down products.
