Which Zizzz pillow is right for me? A comparison of different pillow fillings: wool, feathers, and duck or goose down

Choosing a pillow can have a significant impact on sleep quality. Among the crucial decisions to make, the type of filling material plays a major role. Let’s look at the differences between the various filling materials: Swisswool, duck down, and goose down.

Swisswool Pillows: Natural, Breathable, and Hypoallergenic

Wool is generally a popular choice for pillow filling due to its natural properties. Swisswool, as a breathable and temperature-regulating material, provides optimal warmth in winter and coolness in summer. Additionally, wool is hypoallergenic, making it suitable for people sensitive to allergens.

Benefits of Wool:

• Natural breathability
• Temperature regulation
• Hypoallergenic
• Increased durability
• Adjustable thickness (with removable/adding wool balls)

Main drawback:

• May require more specific maintenance.
  
  

Duck Feather and Down Pillows: Plush Comfort at an Affordable Price

Duck down is a popular option for those looking for a plush pillow at an affordable price. It offers a soft and light feel, ideal for those who enjoy cozy pillows.

Benefits of Duck Feathers and Down:

• Soft and comfortable
• Generally affordable
• Good balance of feathers/down for optimal feel (85% feathers, 15% down)
• Ethically sourced and Downpass certified

Main drawback:

• Less plush and durable than goose down.
  
  

Goose Feather and Down Pillows: Luxury and Superior Quality

Goose down is often seen as a luxury option due to its superior quality. With a higher loft than duck down, goose down provides a plush feel and enhanced support. It is also known for its durability, making it a wise investment for those looking for long-term comfort.

Benefits of Goose Down:

• High loft
• Plush and comfortable (85% feathers, 15% down)
• Excellent durability
• Temperature regulation
• Ethically sourced and Downpass certified

Main drawback:

• Higher price.
  
  

Conclusion: Choosing the Right Filling Material for Your Needs

The choice of filling material for your pillow largely depends on your personal preferences for comfort, support, and budget. Whether you choose wool, duck feathers and down, or goose feathers and down, make sure to select a sleep experience that truly suits you. Sleep position can also be a factor to consider when choosing your pillow. To learn more: The Right Pillow for Every Sleeper.
