Product details

A high pillow in soft cotton, filled with down and feathers.

Our waterfowl filling is recycled and contains a mix of feathers and down from aquatic birds like geese and ducks. It has excellent insulation properties and is especially suitable for pillows and duvets.

Choose this pillow if you are a side or back sleeper and need the support of a higher pillow.

Inner core with higher feather content than down to give resilient and comfy support for your head.

Outer layer with feathers and a higher down content giving you the softest feel closest to your skin.

You get a dry and comfortable sleeping environment since the cotton fabric breathes well, which helps air to circulate and moisture to evaporate.

The pillow is machine-washable at 60°C, a temperature that kills dust mites.

Good to know

Down and feathers are natural materials that sometimes have a slight smell. The smell is harmless and fades over time. Airing or washing , and drying it thoroughly in a dryer, helps the smell fade faster.

Tumble dry after washing until the filling is completely dry.

Reviews

Flattens in minutesAnonymous reviewerI purchased a high one, expecting it to stay high. It flattens to perfect flat, within a minute of putting your head on it. I am unhappy I paid 60 pounds for it. Not what i expected at all.. you want a pillow to stay in its shape for some time.at least.I wonder if i can return it1
Fantastic Pillow Anonymous reviewerOh my goodness, why are the Scandinavians so good with design. This pillow is heavenly !!! Packed full of feathers & down. It really is the BEST ! 5
Pillow Anonymous reviewerMost comfortable pillow I have ever bought 5
Love itAnonymous reviewerBought one to see what it’s like, love it and will definitely go back and get more. 5
Disappointing product for the price.Anonymous reviewerDecided to pay more for a quality product. This pillow does plump up nicely before bed but quickly goes flat during the night. As a side sleeper, I find I need at least two of these, despite being a pretty small human! Flat-packed pillows are perhaps not the way to go… I’ll purchase elsewhere in future.2
Lovely pillow but to hard for meAnonymous reviewerI did lay my head on the pillow in the store and it seemed fine, but after sleeping on it for two weeks I’ve had to give up and gone back to my old pillow2
A proper pillowAnonymous reviewerFinally, I'm getting the support my head and neck need. It's not cheap. But it's great quality and worth that little bit extra. Plumps up easily after a great night's sleep. It does need a 'super plump' when it comes out of the packaging.5
Love this pillowAnonymous reviewerI like the way how you melt down when you place your head at it. Fortunately I did not have issue with the smell when I bought it, but when I washed it myself it started to smell. I sent it over to dry cleaners and they managed to get rid of the smell. I like it and have no problems with it. 4
Awful pongAnonymous reviewerIt smells of sweaty socks, not my thing Ikea! Couldn't use it and sadly had to bin it. It was an impulse purchase so didn't check the reviews, if I had I wouldn't have bought. 1
A Scented LetdownAnonymous reviewerI bought this one and 5 FJÄDRAR cushion pads – they all smell really bad, like a wet dog. Airing outside didn't help. I can't return as I removed the labels too - what a waste of 110 quid.1
Disappointed. Anonymous reviewerBought the high version as needed new feather pillows and these seemed to fit our requirements. They are really well made but are so dense that they have no give so sit like a lump under your head. Reminds me of sleeping at my Grandma's. Both my partner and I have given up on them even though we have made sure they were left to plump up before we used them and then again every day. Expensive fail, should have gone for the cheaper options.2
AmazingAnonymous reviewerSupports you perfectly and great price for the quality!5
Extremely flat with smellAnonymous reviewerI’m writing this review when I should be asleep, due to this pillow. I thought I was buying something of higher quality due to the price but sadly that is not the case. It isn’t anything like what is advertised because it was sold to me as firm but I tell you now you cannot find a flatter pillow. To me, this is unusable due to the flatness but also it’s sour natural odour. sadly because I have used it I cannot return and refund.1
Horrendous smell and flattens easilyAnonymous reviewerHad this pillow for three days. First night I had a dream that someone had urinated behind my bed. I woke and all I could smell was a really strong ammonia. It was the pillow. I had put a fresh protector and pillow case on, so not that. It was so bad I put the pillow in the spare room. At £60 I was not giving in so easily, so aired it for 36 hours. Sadly it still smells horrendously of urine. The other significant issue is how quickly it goes flat. It is supposed to be high fill, but definitely not. Seriously disappointed with this. I treated myself to a very expensive pillow, and I wouldn’t even give it to the neighbours dog to sleep on1

Expensive but not quite what's neededAnonymous reviewerThis is one of your more expensive pillows - hi 'loft' but it flattened too quickly. Very comfortable initially but needs lots of plumping up.4
One flat pillowAnonymous reviewerI do not have a high opinion of this pillow. Even after leaving the pillow out of the package for a couple of hours, it is still a very flat pillow and not comfortable on the neck. £60 wasted.1

How to care for your down/feather pillow

With a little care, you can prolong the life of your down/feather pillow and keep it fresh. The filling has a natural smell which can be reduced by airing or washing. Wash the pillow separately with a mild detergent (1/3 of the normal amount) on delicate cycle at 60°C. Avoid bleach/fabric softeners. Tumble dry immediately on low heat. A dryer ball or a high-quality tennis ball in the dryer make drying mor efficient. Air your pillow regularly, if possible, in direct sunlight.
