down is the fine hair or fine feather , of the goose, it is an insulator, and softer,
feather are not as soft, but next to it,
best buy is a pillow at wal-mart, for $ 8.00
Down pillows are softer, more “moldable” than feather pillows, they’re especially good if you like to sleep on your stomach, and there’s no feathers poking through – though in your better feather pillows they’ll use a denser cover to prevent this. Feathers provide more firmness, while still being pliable, they’re better for back and side sleepers – these are just generalities though, it’s still up to personal preference. Good quality down pillows will last for many years and are a real luxury.
