What guests usually need Because you cannot know whether a guest is a side, back or front sleeper, a medium-loft, medium-firmness pillow is the safest general choice. Extreme loft or extreme softness can disappoint more people than a middle-of-the-road option. At Pillow Store, multipack and guest-oriented options appear in the catalogue. Guide prices and some […]
What hollowfibre is Hollowfibre consists of polyester fibres that are hollow in the centre. The hollow core traps air, which helps the fibre spring back after compression. Hollowfibre pillows often feel resilient and hold a consistent shape with relatively little daily plumping. At Pillow Store both fillings appear in the range. Exact fill weights and […]
General principles before you wash Read the care label. Check whether the pillow is suitable for machine washing at all. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent when washing is allowed. Ensure the pillow is completely dry before putting it back on the bed. Wash pillowcases regularly on their own schedule. At Pillow Store, care […]
Typical characteristics of hotel-style pillows Higher or more generous loft than basic everyday pillows. Plump, full appearance on the bed. Frequent use of box-edge or quilted constructions. Medium to soft-medium feel in many cases. Emphasis on a “sink-in” first impression. At Pillow Store we use the term carefully and keep specifications honest. Final cloth, fill […]
How the box-edge construction works The gusset creates height at the perimeter of the pillow. This helps the pillow maintain a flatter top surface and more consistent loft from the centre to the edge. The filling has a defined space to occupy rather than sloping away at the sides.

The result is often a more even surface and less tendency for the filling to migrate. At Pillow Store, quilted styles appear alongside plain and box-edge options. […]
The loft requirement for back sleepers When you lie on your back, the pillow needs to support the natural curve of the neck without tilting the head upward. Too much height creates strain; too little leaves the neck without support. Medium loft is the most common starting recommendation. At Pillow Store some product details remain […]
Why loft matters for side sleepers When you lie on your side, there is a gap between your shoulder and the mattress. A pillow that is too low lets the head drop. A pillow that is too high pushes the head upward. The aim is a height that keeps the neck closer to neutral. Exact […]
What duck feather pillows are Duck feather pillows are filled with the outer feathers of ducks. The feathers have a central quill. This gives the pillow a traditional, mouldable feel that many people associate with older-style bedding. The exact ratio of feather to any down content varies by product and should be read from the […]
Why the right pillow matters A pillow that is too high, too low or the wrong firmness can leave your neck and upper back unsupported. The practical goal is straightforward: keep your head and neck in a reasonably neutral position while you sleep. There is no single perfect pillow for every person. The right pillow […]
