Although it’s hard to believe, down and feather filled pillows have been around for centuries, dating back to ancient European times! Over the course of these hundreds of years, every imaginable combination of down clusters and feathers have been used, trying to get to that “perfect” blend and weight of a pillow that works for most sleepers.
As a “farm to bed” vertically integrated down and feather bedding manufacturer, Blue Ridge Hotel, with hundreds of years of collective experience, understands how hard it is to create the “secret recipe” that creates great pillows. Crafting pillows using superior materials and designs that “fit” most sleeping positions is ridiculously hard, but something we do exceptionally well and are passionate about.
So, our goal is to figure out what is the pillow most people of all shapes and sizes will fall in love with more than others, providing them a more restful, sounder-sleeping night in bed.
It turned out to be what we believed, which is the perfect blend of 50 percent down and 50 percent small, highly curled feathers, enveloped in our enhanced soft, supple and durable extra-tight woven cotton fabric, BarrierXT. We have designed this exclusive fabric just for hotels, as it offers incredible comfort and stands up to hotel use. The 50/50 blend provides the soft luxurious feel of down combined with the support of blending small, highly-curled feathers, giving hotel guests a pillow experience they’ll never forget and want to have at home!
Not only do we know the perfect way to make these “perfect pillows’, they also come with many other benefits important in today’s sustainable-focused world, things we’ve always believed in:
- Down and feather is truly natures miracle material: eco-friendly, compostable and biodegradable
- FreshLoft® Cleaned using only chemical-free, biodegradable soaps; dust, dirt and allergy-free
- Down and feather is a bi-product of the poultry industry, the down and feathers would otherwise be thrown away!
Check out our 50/50 down and feather pillow and have the best night’s sleep ever!
