Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your new Silentnight Feather and Down Pillows is straightforward:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the pillows from their packaging.
- Fluff: Gently fluff the pillows by hand to help them expand and regain their full loft after being compressed during transit. This redistributes the feather filling evenly.
- Add Pillowcases: Place your preferred pillowcases over the pillows before use.
Compatibility
These pillows offer medium firmness and are designed to be highly compatible with all sleep positions – including back, side, and stomach sleepers. The natural adaptability of the feather filling allows the pillows to conform to various body shapes and sleeping styles, providing personalized comfort.
Care
Maintaining the freshness and longevity of your Silentnight Feather and Down Pillows is simple:
- Machine Washable: The pillows are machine washable at 40°C. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
- Drying: It's crucial to thoroughly dry feather pillows to prevent mildew and clumping. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, ideally with a few clean tennis balls to help fluff the feathers and ensure even drying. Stop and fluff manually periodically during the drying cycle.
- Regular Fluffing: For optimal performance and comfort, regularly fluff your pillows daily or every few days. This helps to redistribute the feathers and maintain their loft.
- Pillow Protectors: Consider using pillow protectors under your standard pillowcases. These add an extra barrier against dust mites, allergens, and spills, extending the life and cleanliness of your pillows.
