Feather pillows are typically filled with larger, sturdier feathers, often from the wings or backs of ducks and geese, giving them a supportive yet slightly firmer feel. Down pillows, on the other hand, are filled with the soft, fluffy plumage from the bird's underbelly, resulting in a lighter, more cloud-like experience. Many pillows combine both materials to offer the best of both worlds — support from the feathers and softness from the down. Our feather and down pillow strikes the perfect balance between plush comfort and reliable support. Pair it with one of our silk pillowcases for an ultra-soft sleeping experience.

Yes, silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mould, and mildew, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. The smooth surface of silk also helps to minimise the accumulation of allergens and bacteria, promoting a cleaner sleep environment. This makes our mulberry silk pillowcase an ideal option for those with sensitive skin or respiratory issues, offering comfort without compromise.

To maintain the loft and freshness of your feather and down pillow, give it a good fluff each morning to redistribute the fill. It’s recommended to use a pillow protector to keep dust and moisture out. Washing feather and down pillows requires a bit of care — most can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but always follow the care instructions. Dry thoroughly to prevent clumping or mildew, ideally using a low heat setting and adding dryer balls to maintain fluffiness. Our pillow protector is designed to keep your pillow in top condition for longer.

Feather and down pillows can offer good support if chosen wisely. Look for a medium to firm pillow that maintains its shape throughout the night. The natural fill can be adjusted easily to support your neck and head, making it suitable for those who prefer a more mouldable pillow. Back and side sleepers may benefit most from a higher loft, while stomach sleepers might prefer a softer option. For the best results, pair your pillow with a supportive mattress and luxury duvet from our collection.
