Does IKEA use animal feathers in products?

Our pillow and bedding ranges can include duck feathers. IKEA is committed to the humane and respectful treatment of animals and does not accept any form of cruelty to animals.

IKEA supports animal husbandry where consideration is shown to the animals at all times, and we prohibit the live plucking of birds that is common in the goose down and feather industry.

To eliminate the risk of live plucked down and feathers entering our supply chain, we only use down and feathers from ducks, since live plucking in the duck industry is very rare.

 All suppliers are also audited by an animal welfare checklist.
