East Coast Bedding Goose Down Sleeping Pillow White 600 Fill Power with 400 Thread Count 100% Cotton for Couch, Side Sleeper, Travel & Bed Pillows - King Size Firm - 2 Pack

When I bought the pillows, I didn't realize East Coast Bedding was a small company. If you haven't visited their Facebook page, you really should. Watch a few of the videos. It's endearing. If those are not 100% genuine, the guy has a future acting in daytime TV drama shows if this bedroom furniture/bedding thing doesn't work out.The pillows are sold under the East Coast Bedding name directly, so I'm not sure who actually manufactures these. (I'm also not sure I care.) I doubt the owner has his wife in the back room sewing pillow cases and the kids stuffing them. I do know these are incredibly comfortable pillows that are absolutely silent. No crunchy noises here. I don't know it's 100% down as didn't cut it open, but what a nice feel they have.We really liked our previous feather pillows, but after a couple years of waking up with a feather or two stuck to us ... or on the bed ... or on the floor ... or finding a dozen feathers in the dryer's lint trap from washing the pillow cases, we needed to replace them after they lost about 1/2 their filling. I did some research and found out that down is better than feathers (or a down/feather mix) both in comfort and not "shedding." While I found sites with really good explanations of the various types of fill, pillow firmness and such, the prices I found at them were obnoxious. Some were as high as $400 each. I don't know what you paid for your bed, but in my opinion, the cost of two pillows shouldn't be a significant fraction of the cost of the bed they are on. I also found out "Fill Power" (FP) is a real thing with down pillows. From one site, I found out that "fill power is a measurement of the amount of space one (1) ounce of down will occupy in cubic inches when allowed to reach its maximum loft." Apparently, 500 is kind of the minimum, and the higher number the better. The highest I saw was 800 (and the pillows were $400 each). According to East Coast Bedding, these are 550 FP. I'm a "side-sleeper" and that seems to be firm enough for me while still being comfortable.I might recommend putting the "Set of 2" close to the beginning of the title like "East coast bedding Set of 2 100% White Down Pillow 100% Cotton Fabric - 550 Fill Power (Queen)" Based on the other prices I had found, $150 a pillow was not outrageous, but still more than I wanted to pay. I reread the item description and realized it was two pillows. Order placed.Be VERY CAREFUL OPENING THE BOX with a razor knife. The box Amazon used for shipping these really stuffed the pillows in pretty tightly with no gap in the box. The pillows were in a thick plastic bag, but even so, a little carelessness and you might just perform your own experiment to verify if these are stuffed with 100% down or not.

The price of these pillows is the only downside (I paid ~$135 ea). Why does comfort have to be so expensive. I think I am only upset at the price as I had to order a few pillow sets before realizing I should have purchased these first. Now, I will never buy a pillow that is not at least 50% downAny sleep position works well with these pillows. They fluff back to shape very easily. Yeah they smelled weird for a few days but that went away. Shipping was fast and the packaging isn't low budget. they come with a carrying case (who is really going to use that). I don't feel any poking feathers sticks thru the pillow even with the case off. This brand is not clumpy at all.Final Disposition: SMOOTH, SOFT, SUTTLE pillows that are true Hotel like; giving me the best sleep I've had. However, little question mark in my head thinks I could have bought the 50/50 version, saved $ and not know the difference

I'll give it 4 stars due to the fact its a quality pillow. Lesson learned though, don't buy down/feather pillows online. There is no firmness at all nor neck support if you use the pillow buy itself. I had to use both pillows stacked to give any type of support and I sleep on my side. You've been warned. These are good quality pillows without a doubt, but the fail is this ; not enough firmness at 550 fill power for side sleepers per pillow, no pillow cover that is removable and washable, so I'll have to go buy some, When I lay my head on the pillow it flattens out to where you have about 1 inch of cushion on the head with NO neck support. Definitely not the feather pillows I was used to when I was growing up. Next time I'll have my mom make the pillows for me at half this price.

I always preferred down pillows and I always out two covers over it. The covers get disgusting yellow and only some hard bleaching will make it white again. But finally the time had come and the pillows themselves had become too dirty. I could open them up use bleach on the cotton and only mild soap on the feathers, but this is a lot of work and a giant mess of feathers all over the place. So I bought new ones. I knew I could not buy the cheapest ones. These have a very high fill level, they are bulging out fully the moment I release the pressure. No need to fold them. I do not regret my purchase.Tip:People told me, that you could not bleach down pillows. Since I had new ones, I tried it on the old ones.YOU CAN bleach down pillows... I did, washed them to get rid of the chlorine smell, drier took a long time but they are just fine... never mind, now I have 4 pillows... the old ones in the middle of the bed as a dividing line.

These feather king pillows are the best I have every purchased I have also purchased gueen feather in another brand but they were not as nice as these

These pillows are NOT 100% down-filled. I have on all-cotton zipped pillow protectors, and when I take them off to wash them, I have gotten a white feather or two poking through. They are not crackly, however, so I think they probably have a high percentage of down. There is no odor. They seem much firmer than any down pillows I've owned before and don't squash down much. I found them to be a bit too firm for my neck, as I have neck issues. I was mostly disappointed that I spent what should have been $ for 100% down and was ripped off in the price department. I didn't send them back because I needed the pillows, didn't have any others, and I used them for about 8 months before purchasing what truly are 100% down pillows. They are much lighter in weight, much more comfortable to sleep on and there are absolutely no stray feathers. The new ones are on Amazon, url:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019ZV6C1A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1They cost a bit more but are well worth it.
