Feathers
editThe options are duck and goose down and feathers. We can classify them in down and feathers, where down of birds is a layer of fine feathers found under the tougher exterior feathers.
Goose feather. They are very soft, provide a great cushion and can easily move in any direction inside the pillow at any time.
Can be bought either in department stores or be bought as a pillow on sale (when they are 75 % off) and use the infill a pillow with a shape and design adapted to your anatomy.
