What is better down or feathers?

Kusk Fink

Basically, this question still lacks the reference system. What should down be better than feathers? The answer must therefore always be seen in connection with a goal. Increasing the degree of warmth and softness of the down pillow or reducing the weight require a higher proportion of down, so down is better than feathers in this area. Feathers are the better alternative to achieve the goal of a firmer cushion. With down pillows, your bed type primarily determines the answer to this question.

Risk of confusion between filling ratio and size
The filling ratio of down to feathers is also included in the name of some down pillows. Thus, terms such as "Stoll 15 - 85 pillows 80x80" can contribute to the confusion. The size is connected with an x, whereas the down-to-feather ratio is indicated by a hyphen or as a single number for the down proportion.

The lifespan of a down pillow
The lifespan of a down pillow depends on several factors, namely the stress, the relationship between feathers and down, the care of the pillow and the desired support.

Stress on the pillow
Down pillows are designed for the nightly stress caused by the storage of the head. Stronger loads reduce the filling power of the down and feathers significantly faster and thus ensure that the pillow becomes flatter. Since the pillow does not have a warming function like a down blanket, the loss of filling power means only a lowering of the support height by the down pillow.

Relationship between feathers and down
The relationship between feathers and down affects the loss of filling power over time with average use. Down has a higher filling power than feathers, but conversely feathers maintain their original filling power longer due to their firmer structure.

Care of the pillow
To maintain the filling power, please follow the care tips for bed covers.

Support
sleepdream reviews of a down pillow is to guarantee you a restful sleep. For this reason, adapting the pillow to your type of bed is very helpful. The natural loss of filling power means that the down pillow's support capacity is reduced over time. An exchange of the pillow is only necessary if the sleep quality drops due to the loss of filling power. With a flat down pillow for belly sleepers at the beginning, the replacement time is reached much later than with a side sleeper pillow, which is said to offer a high level of support.
