How To Choose A Pillow

Step 1. Choose the Right Level of Firmness

Stomach

For stomach sleepers — extra soft to allow the head to sink to just the right level.

Soft

For back and side sleepers who want a softer pillow to cushion the head.

Medium & Overfilled

For back and side sleepers who want more support for the head and neck.

Step 2. Choose Down or Synthetic Fill Down Pillows

All of the down we use has been carefully washed four times and de-dusted to be hypoallergenic — less apt to cause an allergic reaction. This special process costs more, but we want our pillows and comforters to be the very best.

Choose which down fill you prefer from the selection of Fill Power choices below.

 

95/5 Feather and Down Blend

Made with 95% Small Goose Feathers and 5% Goose Down for a traditional feather pillow with a small amount of down for extra softness.

700 European White Goose Down

This exceptional down is softer and lighter than the best down sold by most competitors. A superior down distinguished by its insulating capacity and loft.

50/50 Down Feather Blend

The best of both worlds! Hypoallergenic 50% White Duck Down / 50% Small White Duck Feather Blend is a great quality at a very reasonable price — and the perfect combination of the loft and softness from down and the support and spring-back qualities of small goose feathers.

800 European White Goose Down

The special down we use in our highest quality pillows and comforters. Its absolutely the finest white goose down in the market. We constantly search Europe for this rare down, only buying small lots that meet our strict specifications.

600 European Duck Down

100% Duck Down from the French Pyrenees. Fill power of cubic inches per ounce exceeds the quality of most goose down on the market.

900 European White Goose Down

Simply the most luxurious goose down we have ever found. But it's rare, so we only have a limited amount; we suggest you call us to check availability.

600 White Goose Down

A better grade of White Goose Down testing at more than 600 cubic inches per ounce. Light, fluffy, and luxurious at a value price.

Rare Eiderdown Fill

Prized worldwide for its matchless insulation and lightness, collected by hand from abandoned nests in Iceland and Scandinavia. Truly one of nature's greatest treasures.

 

What Is "Fill Power"?

This is the number of cubic inches one ounce of down will fill; the higher the number, the higher the quality for a lighter, more resilient pillow.

We use fill power between 600 and 900, far exceeding our competitors.

Synthetic Pillows

If you are down-sensitive, try any of our synthetic pillows, made with our premium synthetic fill that lofts just like natural down. We make our synthetic filled pillows with the same care as our down filled pillows, and all carry our complete satisfaction guarantee.

Step 3. Choose from our Selection of Certified Eco-Friendly Downproof Fabrics

All of our pillow fabrics are certified by Oeko-Tex® to be free of harmful chemicals to you and your family.

Plus, as with any Cuddledown down product, a fabric that keeps the down and/or feathers in the pillow is essential. Imagine the nightmare of resting your head on a pillow that's leaking down and feathers...not our idea of a good night's sleep.

That's why all Cuddledown pillows are made with 100% guaranteed downproof fabric, and there are several different fabric qualities to choose from (shown on the list to the right).

  • Batiste is extremely light in weight with excellent durability
  • Sateen brings the same drape and feel as our sateen sheets
  • Damask is an excellent quality at a great price
  • Cambric is a basic weave with an excellent value
