Canadian Down & Feather Co. King Size Microfiber Down Alternative Pillow

Want a similar pillow with a bit more support? If so, this product is for you :) This Gel Microfiber Down Alternative Pillow is filled with plush microfiber, providing a true moderate support level that suits most sleepers.

The standard size measures 18" x 24" with a 30 oz fill, the queen size is 18" x 28" with a 37 oz fill, and the king size is 18" x 34" with a 48 oz fill. This pillow is made with microfiber, a polyester material designed to mimic the properties of down as closely as possible, composed of fine, delicate strands.

Microfiber is soft and plush like down, but denser, trapping less air. This means it doesn't sink down quite as much with the weight of the head. The shell of this pillow is crisp, durable, 260 thread count cotton. This soft support, flatter-style pillow provides support while keeping the head at a low level, working best for front or back sleepers who don't need much head elevation.

For a higher level of support, the Gel Microfiber Down Alternative Pillow offers a Medium support level. This single-chamber pillow has a box edge design, helping achieve even neck alignment. The 260 thread count, 100% cotton fabric houses the microfiber down alternative fill, a fluffy, slightly slippery substance made up of fine polyester strands.

Compared to down or feather pillows, microfiber has a different look and feel. Feathers consist of a hard quill with fibers extending from each side, while down consists of clusters of filaments growing from a central point. Microfiber, on the other hand, is a fluffy, slightly slippery substance. In terms of loft, down quality is measured by fill power, a metric not used for feather or microfiber.

Feather provides excellent support due to the springy quills, while down provides little support as the delicate clusters compress significantly with the weight of the head. Microfiber is plush like down, but denser, providing more support than down, but less than feather. Support level can also be adjusted by changing the fill weight.

Down is more expensive than feather or microfiber due to its scarcity and insulating properties. Microfiber products provide that soft, snuggly feel at a much more affordable cost. They also stand up to washing much better than down and feather products, making them great for homes with kids, pets, or frequent use.
