Pillows

A filling material suited for pillows should be able to support the head and possibly the upper part of the body for any length of time (cushioning) while asleep.

Therefore blends consisting of down and feathers are favourable, but more and more people prefer a soft down pillow.
 

Pillows with several compartments containing down or feathers are very popular as well. The feathers have a supporting function and the down filling ensures a comfortable feeling during the sleep.

 

 

With the purchase of bedding products it is generally advised to look out for good quality articles.

 

In this regard, the different trademarks Daunasan^® / Downafresh^®, NOMITE^® and KIS^® Komfort Information System play an important part.

Here is one point to remember: Pay attention to the labelled facts and the various brand names.

 

The labelled facts are very helpful, especially as regards the filling which is usually invisible to the eye. The label provides information on colour and origin of the down and feathers, indicates whether the down and feathers are new or have previously been used, the fowl species (goose or duck) and finally also the mixing ratio of down and feathers.

 

For restful sleep it is important to select the right duvet. People have different needs with respect to restful sleep. Some have a predisposition to perspire, others feel cold easily. Some might prefer a voluminous duvet, the so- called ballon or bag duvet, and do not want a flat stitched-through duvet.
