If you like your pillows crunchy...DavidI have a hard time believing that this pillow is really filled with "duck feathers" like the listing says. It feels more like the filler is shredded plastic. I've never had a pillow so noisy or uncomfortable. It literally crunches under your body. Ugh. Returned for classic poly filler.1
Mostly happy; could maybe be fuller?CarolineI bought two 20x20 inserts five+ years ago but only just unpackaged them. (Long story!) They were aggressively compressed, so I punched inward on all sides a few times and let the pillows rest horizontally for 30 to 60 minutes. I then put them in 17x17 covers. (Btw, you should always size up with down inserts for fullness. For a 20x20 insert, I recommend a 17x17 or 18x18 pillow.) They look nice and full in the couch corners when at rest. In use, the jury is still out. Down gives to body weight easily, but it could be that these should be made to be fuller for their size. I kind of had to "negotiate" my position on the couch in relation to the pillow to get comfortable. Maybe it's just an adjustment on my part after using synthetic inserts with this couch for years. P.S. If you want to avoid rampant poking and feather loss, you'll be happier with more expensive down inserts, generally. They will contain the feathers better. I can't yet weigh in on that front with these inserts, though.4
Horrible smell.RylenI purchased 3 of these pillows in store. Before purchasing I made sure they were good quality, & had no oder. When I opened the package the smell of the duck feathers was so strong, since they had a horrible smell I followed the care instructions and they made the washer/whole house full of this smell. I would like a full refund considering there should not be an oder associated with 3 brand new pillows.1
Fluffy but firmRethaFeather filled, soft for flexibility but firm enough; it is 26x26 so a smidget bigger than the standard. I like it.5
Horrible smellMadelineI washed these pillows in the washing machine and they smell horrible after because of the way the water interacts with the duck feathers. I dried it for 6 straight hours and then left them to air outside and the smell still did not go away. I now see that people warn about this online, but the instructions with the pillows say they're fine to put in the washing machine - a bit misleading.1
Go to piillowDHave been buying these pillows for years. The quality is good and a great value.5
Less filling than beforeJenniferThe price went up and the filling amount OBVIOUSLY went down. I’ve been buying these for years. The most recent purchase they didn’t even look like the same product. They flatten into a pancake with any pressure. So disappointing. IKEA is going the wrong way. Who’s even going to be their customer base after a while? Now they’re worse quality and not even affordable anymore. 1
Terrible smell, do not buyMatthewOn opening, the pillows had a horrible smell coming from the duck feathers. We followed the instructions for washing and drying, and now our entire house smells awful.1
LuxuriousJenniferMuch more luxurious than I expected! Easy to fluff!5
very comfortable with a good fitAnthonywe used four of these with new cushion covers to add extra pillows for the Livingroom, they look and feel well made and very comfortable.5
Smells badYuliiaPillows were full of dust and the smell was so bad. Even after washing they still smelled.1
FEATHERSErikaWhen I picked out 5 pillowcases, this pillow was the suggested item to pair for each one…. I should have done my due diligence, and not just added them to my cart! It’s not clear in the name / title of this product, or in the short description that pops up, that these pillows are down… 1
Pillow is flat should have more fillAnonymous reviewerI like it except that it is not filled enough and doesn’t appropriately fill out the ikea pillow cases made for that size fill/. It is the lack of plumpness vs dimensions that is the issue.3
Too ThinDanielBought a lovely set of throw pillow covers, and this was the recommended pillow insert. I find it to be way too thin, and ended up using just normal pillow insert.3
Full and cuteLindsayI love the versatility and quality5
Love it!AnnetteAlways hated the cushions on my couch until I replaced the inner cushions with this fabulously soft and cozy feather filled cushion! I love it!5
Less filling skimping on feathersDallasOf course you will notice if you like to make feather pillows and the inserts you purchase regularly are arriving with less filling than in the past. Especially the 26x26 insert, it now makes a perfect 22x22. It was formerly a 24x24. I think this is called “shrinkflation”. Did someone think no one would notice?? And the 20x20 went up 100 %3
Pillow is flatDottieI bought several 20 inch pillows. I prefer a fuller pillow. They don’t hold their shape and are not comfortable.2
FJADRARCarmenThe FJADRAR inner cushion is beautifully made, comfort soft and true to it's high quality and value. All it needs is a cover and you have up graded elegance to any room setting!!5
