Help Me Find Down Pillows

Mindy D — Mon, 03 Feb 2014 22:21:46 GMT

Hi. The Q no longer has 100% down pillows. I ordered some from them and they were marked at least 75% down. I know that this label allows QVC to buy and sell at a lower price point. The pillows were down, but they had a strange, crunchy cover and did not cradle the neck and head, so I returned them. For months, I stalled about purchasing some 100% soft down pillows from Pacific Coast. I like them because their pillows don't smell and they are hyper cleaned. I waited too long, because they have raised their price from $59.00 to $89.00 each. If you have recently bought real down pillows that don't crunch or smell and cost less, please let me know. I have tried Costco before, but the ones I bought were crunchy, so I returned them. Thanking you in advance.

I'm allergic to down, but when I was looking for alternatives, I looked at Lands End. They are always having sales.....and if you don't like what you get you can return them to any Sears store.

I have found 100% down pillows at Tuesday Morning stores in the past. If you have one nearby, you might check.

Pacific Coast Down and Feather manufactures the down comforters and pillows for QVC, Costco, Sam's, Macys, West Elm (aka Williams Sonoma) and a number of others.

Make sure when you buy a down pillow, that the ticking is at LEAST 300TC or higher or a high count Egyptian cotton; likewise the zippered pillow cover that either comes with it or that you buy. Otherwise, it WILL feel 'crunchy'. Down itself is NEVER crunchy.

Please consider an alternative. The way in which the feathers are obtained is cruel. Please.

If you want to look for alternatives to down you should consider a few things. The height of the pillow should support your head in all positions. If your head is too high or low you can get neck pain. If you sleep on your back this isn't as important but if you sleep on your side this becomes more important. A medium firm pillow will be best if you are a side sleeper. Also, look for a pillow that keeps your head cool in the summer. Most pillows will need to be replaced about once a year. If you have broad shoulders get a 5" thick pillow, if you are normal a 4" pillow, if you have narrow shoulders a 3" pillow. Here are the best pillows for side sleepers.

I love my down pillows. I got my last ones at Costco. I hope they still have them. If not I did get some at Macys years ago.

Most down items have the 75% down law label because that's the minimum amount of down allowed. All the pillows I have bought considered 100% down have that tag except for one from Cuddledown marked 80%. I buy down things from Cuddledown and Downlite. My favorite pillows were the Pacific Coast Uncrushable pillows I bought from QVC years ago and I've tried a ton of pillows since then from QVC/Pacific Coast, even the ones marked Uncrushable and they just aren't the same, they were feather pillows and so comfortable and not crunchy.

P.S. I think I tried those pillows you're talking about because I just remembered I told my husband that the pillows seemed like they had a plastic casing inside or something.

Try Amazon, Overstock.com or TJ Maxx-Marshalls. I have found very nice bedding on all 3 sights!

Why has Northern Nights ceased selling a variety of feather/ down pillows on QVC? Have they phased them out of the pillow biz? Will the Q ever sell Feather/ Down pillows again, like the uncrushable and/ or down around from NN's that I loved, and the gusseted ones? The pickin's are meager now for natural, rather than foam filled, from QVC.

Guess in the meantime, I'll have to use The Company Store again or Pacific Coast Down from BB&B, as well as other suggestions. Thanks.
