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.
