Elementa Luxurious 1000 Thread Count Gusseted Down Pillow

Like a lot of people, I didn't know if 100% down pillows were even available any more. Some maufacturers try to trick you by referring to a man-made material as down. Others advertise down pillows which are only 5% down, 95% feathers. THESE ARE THE REAL McCoy! I haven't had a real down pillow since I was a kid. You cannot beat these for the price, TGF OVerstock.com! BTW, the next step up from these is Eider down, which cost in the thousands. I would go with these :>)A few more comments: If you've never slept on a down pillow before, you need to know a frew things:(1) If you're used to a foam pillow, these do not bounce back in the same way. You sink in. If you want more support during the night, just fold the pillow over on itself or bunch it up. (2) For appearance, when making the bed, shake the pillow at both ends and the middle. They will fluff up to original size. (3) DO NOT WASH!!! You will take the oil out of the feathers and ruin the pillow. Take them to a professional dry cleaner. They will remove the down from the ticking and toss it in a machine with a UV light to kill any bacteria. Then they wash the ticking separately. If the ticking needs replacing, they will provide a new one. ENJOY!
