We enjoyed using the pillow filling from Luxusfeder during the test. The down pillow is very comfortable and has no chemical odour. It is very light and therefore ideal for travelling. We find the quality of the pillow to be very good and the feathers feel soft. However, it is not yet clear whether the feather stems penetrate through the pillowcase and sting unpleasantly, as the pillow could not be tested long enough. The filling thickness of the pillow is appropriate for the living room and it is both firm and cosy. It provides the necessary support. We find the workmanship of the cushion to be very clean and good. Overall, the pillow filling is a good choice for anyone looking for a pleasant, hygienic and comfortable pillow.
