FAQs

Is this pillow suitable for front sleepers?

Due to its extra fill and density designed for side sleepers, this pillow might be too thick and firm for front sleepers. It is best suited for side and potentially back sleepers.

How often should I wash my pillow?

It is generally recommended to wash pillows every 6-12 months, or as needed. Follow the machine washable at 40°C instructions carefully.

What makes the filling hypoallergenic?

The filling is washed, sterilized, and steam purified to meet the highest European Down & Feather Association standards, which removes allergens and dust mites.

Can I use this pillow without a pillowcase?

While the cover is made of soft cotton, it is strongly recommended to use a pillowcase for hygiene, comfort, and to protect the pillow's fabric.

What is the difference between feather and down?

Feathers provide support and structure, while down (the soft undercoating of birds) provides loft and plushness. This pillow uses a blend for balanced comfort and support.

How do I know if this pillow is the right firmness for me?

If you are a side sleeper who requires significant support to keep your head and neck aligned, this extra-filled pillow is likely a good choice. If you prefer a very soft or sinking feeling, it might be too firm.

Troubleshooting

Pillow feels too firm initially.

This is common with extra-filled natural pillows. Use the pillow for a few nights; the filling will naturally settle. You can also gently press down on the pillow to soften it slightly.

Filling seems to be escaping the cover.

Ensure the pillowcase is properly fitted and has no tears. The high thread count down-proof cover is designed to prevent this, but check for any damage to the cover itself.

Pillow loses its loft quickly.

Fluff the pillow daily by hand or in a dryer on a no-heat setting. Ensure it is fully dry after washing to prevent the filling from clumping.

Uneven filling after washing.

Ensure the pillow is thoroughly dried, preferably in a tumble dryer with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help break up clumps. Fluff manually once dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers significant support and comfort specifically for side sleepers.
  • Uses high-quality, natural duck feather and down for a luxurious feel.
  • Hypoallergenic filling makes it suitable for sensitive individuals.
  • Durable construction with double stitching and piped trim.
  • Easy to clean with machine washability.

Cons

  • Natural filling may require occasional fluffing to maintain loft.
  • 1400g fill weight might be too firm for those preferring very soft pillows.
  • Requires specific washing instructions to maintain filling integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Upon receiving your pillow, remove it from its packaging. Gently fluff the pillow by hand to help the filling redistribute and restore its natural loft. Place it inside a standard pillowcase (48cm x 74cm).

Compatibility: This pillow is designed to fit standard pillowcases. It is ideal for side sleepers but can also be used by back sleepers seeking a medium-firm feel. Those who sleep on their front may find it too thick.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine Washable: Wash the pillow at 40°C.
  2. Tumble Dry: It is recommended to tumble dry on a low heat setting. Ensure the pillow is completely dry before use to prevent clumping of the filling.
  3. Regular Fluffing: To maintain optimal loft and comfort, fluff the pillow daily by hand or periodically in a dryer on a no-heat setting.
