Down and silk pillows for lovers of natural materials
Down and silk are natural materials valued for their softness, lightness and breathability. Sisustus1.fi's selected range includes Quilts of Denmark down pillows, such as the SAMSØ, RØMØ and TUNØ ranges, and Butterfly Silk of Copenhagen silk pillows.
What does a down pillow feel like?
A down pillow is light, airy and mouldable, adjusting around the head and neck as you change position. The ratio of down to feathers is particularly important to the quality of the filling: the higher the down content, the lighter and airier the pillow. In the layered TUNØ pillow, for example, feathers provide structure while the surrounding down adds softness. Many models are available in different heights so you can choose according to your sleeping position.
How does a silk pillow differ from a down pillow?
While a down pillow is plump and mouldable, a silk pillow is thinner and feels smooth and slightly cool against the skin. Silk is known as a material that often suits sensitive skin too. Check the individual product details for the manufacturer's stated material and allergy-related properties.
Who is a pillow filled with natural materials suitable for?
Natural materials are a good choice when softness, lightness and breathability matter most. They particularly suit warm sleepers and anyone looking for a quality, long-lasting pillow. For an easier-to-wash option, explore fibre pillows. For more targeted support for the head and neck, see ergonomic pillows.
Care and lifespan
A down pillow retains its properties for years when aired regularly and washed according to its instructions, using a down detergent or a professional laundry. Silk pillows need gentler care. Many products in the range are OEKO-TEX-certified and made in Europe; exact care instructions are given in the individual product details.
