Live like a Queen with Luxury Pillows in Your Home by Melena Ingersol
I spend a lot of time on the road. That means a lot of nights spent sleeping in hotel beds. Depending on whose footing the bill, I might be staying at a Best Western, or at the Marriott.
It was staying at five-star hotels that first got me interested in having some real luxury pillows for my own home. After all, when I’m sleeping in my very own bed, I want to feel like I’m at the Ritz-Carlton, not at the Super 8.
So I began the search for the ultimate luxury pillow. Basically, I was in the market for a super fluffy goose down/feather pillow that provided great support for my head and neck.
I was dropping questions on an online forum when somebody suggested that I check out Pacific Pillows. I couldn’t believe it when I saw that they had everything I was looking for.
Pacific Pillows actually carries all the great goose down/feather pillows used by the best hotels in the world. And their big secret is the “double down” pillow.
The double down is basically a big down pillow with a smaller feather pillow inside. The small feather pillow is a bit firm, which is what provides support for your neck, and the outer down pillow creates the pure cushy softness that makes you feel like a queen.
I tried to get my sister onboard with these amazing goose down/feather pillows, but even though the manufacturer guarantees that they are allergy safe, she insisted that her personal sleeping centre uses ONLY hypoallergenic pillows.
It turns out that was just fine with Pacific Pillows. Apparently, many fine hotels today are replacing down pillows with hypoallergenic pillows. You wouldn’t know it, however, because these pillows are made out of silk-fine synthetic micro-fibers that come with all the comfort and none of the sneezes.
I bought my sister a four-pack of jumbo hypoallergenic pillows just like the kind they use at the Crowne Plaza hotels. Now the only thing that she’s allergic to is getting out of bed in the morning!
Definitely, definitely take a minute to check out the amazing selection of luxury pillows available at Pacific Pillows. There is no better way to treat yourself. Whether it’s a goose down/ feather pillow, or a hypoallergenic pillow containing silky micro-fibers or lighter-than-air fiber puffs, these pillows will actually change the way you sleep. For the better, of course.
Buying and Caring for Feather/Down Pillows by Sherry Bloom
Did you know that the original pillow was little more than a flour sack stuffed with straw? Can you even imagine? And for a long time, pillows pilled with goose down and feathers were only for wealthy lords and ladies.
Thank goodness we no longer live in those dark ages. Today, we can easily go online and find the most high-quality pillows in the world available to anyone with a credit card.
When choosing a goose down/feather pillow, it’s important to determine the type of down and feathers you want inside the pillow. Heavier feathers last longer, and provide support, while down provides softness and warmth.
You should also make your selection based on how you sleep. According to The Company Store, one of the world’s leading suppliers of down comfort products, we require different levels of goose down/feather pillow density depending on whether we sleep on our stomachs, sides, or backs.
In fact, many of the best orthopedic pillows on the market today are not foam but goose feather/down pillows. You can get regular pillows, neck pillows, or full body pillows designed to meet all your orthopedic needs.
Feathers are so effective in orthopedic pillows because they retain their fluffy clustered shapes while moving to conform to the needs of your head, neck, and body. They also naturally retain warmth and wick away moisture, assuring that sore joints stay warm and dry while you sleep.
In order to make sure that your goose down/feather pillow stays comfy and cosy for years to come, you have to take care of it. Here are some great pillow care tips:
-Use a pillow protector with a high thread count. This keeps down and feathers in, and oil and humidity out. Hair, dander, and natural oils from your skin will ruin a feather pillow faster than you can say, “straw please.”
Fluff your pillow daily. With regular fluffing, feathers will far outlast foam.
Sun your pillow. Every few months, give your goose down/feather pillow a day or two of sun. This will keep your pillow dry and fluffy.
Wash your pillow about once a year. Either take it to the dry cleaners, or wash on a gentle cycle using a special down detergent. Dry on a cool setting with a couple of tennis balls or clean tennis shoes thrown in for added fluffiness.
