Choosing Your Goose Down Pillow
A goose down pillow with very high quality goose down fill, such as the pillows
offered here, will always feel luxurious, while providing support where needed;
adjusting to the shape of your head and neck. The goose down used in the Lajord,
Ziegler and Salzburg pillows offer superior compression (the ability of the
down to sink down then spring back up again).
Choosing your firmness: Compression should not be confused
with Firmness. Choosing the correct firmness will help keep your neck and spine
aligned, allowing your muscles to relax - resulting in a refreshing sleep!
We offer these (general) recommendations for choosing your firmness:
- A Soft Pillow if you sleep on your stomach.
- A Medium Pillow if you sleep on your back.
- A Firm Pillow if you sleep on your side, unless you are petite. If you
are petite or have small shoulders, a medium may be a better choice.
Please keep in mind that goose down pillows will soften with use and over time. So, for instance, if you are wavering between a Medium or a Soft pillow, you might consider choosing the Medium.
Choosing your size: Regular and Queen sizes are the most
appropriate for sleeping pillows as the fill is held properly in place. For
the best appearance, we suggest a queen pillow on a twin bed, and a pair of
queen pillows on a full or queen bed, and use three regular size
pillows across a king bed. The pillows you sleep on should be where most of
your pillow budget goes to, so get the best you can afford.
King: the fill in this larger size tends to shift too much, and is not really
appropriate to sleep on. They are best used in pairs for a decorative effect
on a king bed, covered with either pillow cases, or better yet, pillow shams.
26" x 26" Euro: This pillow is often used for sitting up in bed,
and for a decorative effect. We suggest using two on a full size bed, and three
on a king or queen sized bed.
31: x 31" grand Euros: This size has been widely popular in Europe for
generations. We suggest Grand Euros if you like to sit up in bed to read or
watch TV. Use two on a queen sized bed, and two or three on a king sized bed.
