Best Feather Pillows

With three firmness options to choose from, the Brooklinen Down Pillow can accommodate most sleeping positions and body types. The Plush option should suit most stomach sleepers, while the Mid-Plush is particularly suitable for side and back sleepers. Side sleepers may also benefit from the Firm Down Pillow. Standard and king sizes are available.

The cotton shell features a 400 thread count sateen weave for a smooth feel. While the Plush model is filled completely with Canadian white down, the Mid-Plush and Firm models have an inner feather core for more support.

Brooklinen treats the cover with Ultra-Fresh Antimicrobials to help keep the pillow clean. The Down Pillow requires spot cleaning, and should not be machine washed. You can use the dryer for fluffing if you have a setting that does not use heat. Leave the pillow outside to air out when weather permits. Dry cleaning is suitable for large stains, but it may degrade the down faster and remove the natural oils, which reduces the pillow’s lifespan.

You can exchange or return this product within one year of purchase if you aren’t happy with it. The company offers a refund to your original payment method, or you can opt for store credit. Shipping and returns are free within the U.S.

A high-quality feather pillow can easily cost hundreds of dollars, but Pacific Coast has earned a stellar reputation for premium down and feather products with affordable price-points. One of the brand’s newest offerings is the Hotel Feather Best Pillow, which contains clusters of Hyperclean Resilia feathers. A mid-range loft coupled with an exceptionally plush feel makes the pillow best suited to side and back sleepers.

The pillow’s shell is composed of brushed cotton with a 230 thread count. The material has a very smooth feel and is also quite breathable. The feathers are cleaned at least eight times to wash out dust and dirt that can trigger symptoms for people who are allergic to feathers. However, Pacific Coast also backs each order with a 30-day allergy guarantee in case you still feel sniffly or sneezy after using the pillow.

Queen and king sizes are available. The pillow can be laundered at home by washing with mild detergent on a warm, gentle setting and drying on low heat. You can also use a protector to safeguard the pillow against spills and stains. The border is trimmed with thick piping to prevent tears from forming that allow fill to escape.

In addition to the allergy-free warranty, the Hotel Feather Best Pillow comes with a 30-night trial period and a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty against structural defects. Shipping is free for orders of $80 or more, but delivery for smaller purchases is reasonably priced.

The Snowe Down Pillow embodies everything we love about luxe, hotel-inspired bedding. White down clusters make the surface feel exceptionally plush and cloud-like, while the cotton sateen shell makes the pillow breathable and silky-soft on the surface. You can also choose from three density levels based on your preferred sleep position, and Snowe allows exchanges if you aren’t satisfied with your initial selection.

Our hands-on tests show each density is best suited to different sleep styles. Side sleepers should consider the firm design, which provides ample cushioning to fill the space between the head and downward-facing shoulder — this helps ensure even alignment for those who use the side position. Back and stomach sleepers will likely prefer the medium or soft density pillows. These models compress more to limit elevation and prevent neck strain. Many of our testers enjoyed these density options, calling out their cloud-like surfaces for targeted pain relief in the neck and shoulders

Down naturally absorbs and traps heat, but this pillow’s shell helps offset this process to keep you cool. The pillow’s Responsible Down Certification should also appeal to animal-conscious shoppers, as this indicates Snowe adheres to high standards regarding animal treatment and welfare. You may wash and dry the pillow in your household machines if they are large enough to accommodate it. Dry cleaning is an alternative option. Standard and king sizes are available.

Given its luxurious design, the Snowe Down Pillow is reasonably priced, and standard shipping is free for all orders in the contiguous U.S. You may return the pillow or exchange it for a different density within two weeks of the delivery date.

Few bedding materials can match the softness of natural down. Quince’s Luxe Goose Down Pillow nicely showcases this quality, using 700 fill power European white goose down for an exceptionally plush and lofty feel reminiscent of the pillows you might encounter at a high-end hotel. You’ll notice some compression as you lay down your head, but the fill is dense enough to prevent deep sinkage that can lead to neck strain.

You can choose from two fill density options. The soft/medium design sinks more, so it should reduce stiffness and soreness for stomach sleepers and combination sleepers who switch between the back and stomach positions. Most side and back sleepers will probably prefer the medium/firm pillow, which props up the head more and won’t compress as much. Standard and king sizes are available.

The shell is composed of pure cotton with a sateen weave. People with acne, eczema, and other conditions causing sensitive skin should appreciate the fabric’s silky-smooth finish and gentle glide. That said, the shell is also durable thanks to double-stitch seams and thick piping along the border. These features help protect the fabric from rips and tears that can cause fill to escape and permanently damage the pillow. Although the pillow is technically machine-washable, it may be too large for certain household washers including those with agitators. To ensure a maximum lifespan, we recommend using a durable pillowcase or protector.

Affordable pricing and free shipping for all orders make the Luxe Goose Down Pillow a great option for shoppers with tight budgets. Quince’s 365-night trial period is among the longest in the online bedding industry, ensuring ample opportunity to test the pillow and decide if it meets your needs.

The PlushBeds Hotel Chamber Down & Feather Pillow is a luxury product with hotel-like comfort to match. The softer outer chamber features 550 fill-power white down, which closely cradles the head and neck to alleviate pressure buildup. Meanwhile, a firmer inner chamber filled with a down and feather blend helps keep the head and shoulders aligned with the rest of the body. This pillow is also backed by a Responsible Down Standard certification, meaning the down filling was responsibly sourced with animal welfare in mind.

A shell made from 100% cotton cambric encases the pillow. The dense weave prevents feathers from poking through and escaping. Double stitching and German piping along the edges also make the pillow more durable. The pillow has a medium firmness, creating a balanced feel that supports the head while providing some contouring. This feel is best suited for side and back sleepers.

Most down pillows cannot be washed in household machines, but this product is fully machine-washable. Check that your washer is big enough to accommodate the pillow. Some down pillows have been known to damage washers with agitators. Wash in cold water and tumble dry on low.

Two sizes are available: standard and king. PlushBeds ships free to customers in the contiguous U.S. The company does not accept pillow returns for sanitary reasons, but each Hotel Chamber Down & Feather Pillow is backed by a 2-year warranty.

The Helix Down and Feather Pillow has three chambers for ample support and a soft, conforming feel. Our testers likened the pillow to lying on a cloud, but the chambered design helps ensure uncomfortable sinkage isn’t a major issue.

The inner core is filled with a blend of down and feathers engineered to provide neck and shoulder support. The two down outer layers with 550 fill power give sleepers the plush experience they typically expect from a down pillow. This innovative design also helps keep the fill evenly distributed. Double stitching along the edges creates a durable seam. The lightweight cotton cover is soft and breathable.

The Helix Down and Feather Pillow comes in standard and king sizes. Helix offers a 1-year limited warranty and a 100-day trial. Shipping is free for customers in all 50 states.

The Down & Feather Company Hotel Collection Feather Pillow is a hotel-style model filled entirely with a blend of feathers and down. Available in four firmness options, the pillow has a luxuriously plush feel that caters to a wide array of sleep preferences.

Shoppers can choose between soft, medium, firm, and extra firm models. The firmer the pillow, the thicker the profile. The firmest and loftiest pillow is tailored for side sleepers, who benefit from pillows that are thick enough to support the neck but still offering cushioning for the head. Back sleepers should find the firm and extra firm models suitable, while the soft option is recommended for stomach or combination sleepers. For anyone who likes to squish their pillow, the softer models mold quite easily.

The fill is made from 75% Hungarian goose feather and 25% Hungarian goos down. The cover is made from 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton, which is known for its breathability and durability. The down and feathers have received certification from the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). The pillow comes in three sizes: standard, queen, and king.

The pillow comes with a 30-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty. Shipping is free for orders of at least $150. Down & Feather Company also offers a free pillow adjustment policy within one year of purchase. This policy allows you to exchange your pillow for a model that is one firmness level higher or lower, free of charge.

Many people enjoy the exceptional softness of feather pillows, but this is not an opinion everyone shares and a large number of sleepers feel most comfortable with a firm surface for their head and neck. The Company Store’s Essentials Better Down and Feather Pillow is available in four firmness levels: soft, medium, firm, and extra firm. This selection ensures most people can find at least one suitable option whether they want a plush pillow, a more supportive surface, or something in between.

An even blend of down and feathers makes up the fill, resulting in a balance of luxurious plushness from the former and reinforcement from the other. The fill is certified by the Responsible Down Standard, indicating the plumage is acquired through humane and ethical means. A breathable cotton shell encases the fill. You may machine wash the entire pillow, though The Company Store recommends using a front-loading washer.

Our testing shows your ideal density level probably depends on your primary sleep position. The side sleepers on our team preferred the firm and extra firm designs. Due to their thicker profiles, these pillows should fill the space between your head and downward-facing shoulder to correct uneven alignment — a common issue side sleepers face. Our back sleepers enjoyed the mid-level loft of the medium pillow, while stomach sleepers felt more comfortable on the low-loft design because they didn’t experience any neck strain.

The Essentials Better Down and Feather Pillow is available in standard, queen, and king sizes. While the price-point varies by size and firmness level, the pillow is affordable compared to down and feather models from competing brands. The Company Store offers free ground shipping, and expedited delivery for an additional charge, and backs each purchase with a lifetime guarantee.
