What is the difference between down and feathers
The structure and appearance of down and feathers are quite different. A down has a soft centre from which all the light fluffy filaments protrude. Feathers have a long and curved quill which makes them resilient in a way, at the same time providing them with the ability to expand back to their original shape after having been exposed to pressure. Thus, in contrast to down feathers are perfectly suited as filling material for pillows as they softly cushion the head at the same time supporting the neck as desired.
