When choosing a pillow, the first question is: do you prefer natural pillow fillings or synthetic ones? Natural fillings are breathable, sustainable, and offer excellent comfort for various sleeping needs.
In the past, natural materials were the only option, sourced directly from farms or nature. Today, modern options combine these traditional materials with innovative designs to create pillows that fit every sleeper.
Down and Feathers
Down and feathers are widely used for duvets, jackets, and sleeping bags—and they make exceptional pillow fillings. They’re soft, breathable, and provide excellent comfort.
- Down: A lightweight, breathable filling that provides luxurious softness and wicks away moisture for a cozy sleep. Check out our Aeli Goose Down Pillow.
- Feathers: Feathers add firmness and structure to pillows while maintaining excellent airflow and moisture control.
Down and feather pillows are perfect for those seeking a luxurious, cloud-like sleep experience.
