In our product test, we scrutinised the 3-chamber down pillow from Calmont. It was developed to promote restful sleep. The outer chambers contain 90 % down and 10 % feathers, while the inner chamber is completely filled with down. The test also showed that the pillow retains its shape and that the filling is not unevenly distributed and only minimally deformed even after prolonged use. This combination offers a balanced mix of softness and stable support for maximum comfort in all sleeping positions. The cotton cover is suitable for allergy sufferers and is pleasant on the skin. The DownPass certificate guarantees ethically sourced down and high environmental standards.

The material is pleasant to the touch. The soft cotton cover and the cosy down filling contribute to the high level of sleeping comfort . The breathability is also impressive, as the down allows good air circulation and prevents overheating.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €74.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €34.99 . The Calmont down pillow is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €42.82. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
