Loose minute sized puffball fibers forming a pillow, the most down like in a synthetic pillow.
Care: Although manufacturers suggest synthetic pillows are fully washable, pillows are never the same after they have been washed. We always suggest you use a pillow protector to help keep the pillow from getting soiled and to help keep its shape. Cleaning the pillow protector is much easier than cleaning the actual pillow.

NATURAL PILLOWS:
Two types: Feather and Down
Feather Pillows
The feathers used in these pillows are water fowl (either goose or duck) and are generally considered to be a firm pillow.
Care: Air the pillow out before use, outside if possible to eliminate any odour (caused by natural products and plastic packing during storage). Dry cleaning is recommended for feather pillows. Never wash a feather pillow. A pillow protector is strongly suggested to prolong the life of any pillow. Cleaning the pillow protector is much easier than cleaning the actual pillow.
Down Surround Pillows

Never wash a feather pillow. A pillow protector is strongly suggested to prolong the life of any pillow. Cleaning the pillow protector is much easier than cleaning the actual pillow.
Down Surround Pillows
Many pillow manufacturers produce these pillows made with an inner chamber of feathers surrounded by down. This pillow offers both support, from the feathers, as well as the softness and comfort of down next to the face.
Care: Pillows should have protectors to keep down in place. Dry Clean Only. Washing is not recommended.
Down Pillows
Care: Pillows should have protectors to keep down in place. Dry Clean Only. Washing is not recommended.
Down Pillows
Down pillows are made up of white goose down and may contain up to 10% feather content. The down provides a soft, totally pliable low loft pillow that can be shaped to form a cradle for the head. The pillow breathes well and has a longer life span than a synthetic pillow.
Care: Down pillows should be aired from time to time. Always use a pillow protector to help keep its shape and prevent soiling. Dry Clean Only. Do not wash.

Down Feather
A down feather pillow has feathers and down mixed together in the same pillow. It is often 50/50 or 75/25 down and feather. This construction offers more height and loft in the pillow.
