Down and feather are sometimes mentioned in the same breath, although they are not the same. Both Down or Feather sleeping pillows are long-lasting and offer years of comfort. However, there are differences between the two and here’s a closer look at what differentiates down and feather:
- The location of feathers on a bird are obvious, but down is more concealed. Down is found under a bird’s breast feathers, and is actually a cluster that is unstructured.
- Down is similar to some of the fibers you might notice floating around in the spring, which come from Cottonwood trees.
- Down is a wonderful filler used in down comforters, coats and sleeping pillows.
- Feather is not well suited for comforters but does make an excellent firm sleeping pillow.
- Down has a quill, but that quill is pretty much undetectable. Meanwhile, feather quills are much more noticeable.
- Down is considered to be among nature’s best insulators. It provides excellent warmth to weight ratio, which has yet to be replicated by bedding suitable synthetic materials.
- Both down and feather will not bunch up or develop knots the way some other pillow fillings do. Down and feather both hold their shape extremely well.
