The feather pillow from KNERST was part of a collective order with several products of the brand, so that the product protection could not be evaluated individually.

Although the pillow was wrapped in a plastic bag, this protected it from contamination during transportation and ensured hygienic storage.
The packaging contents of the feather pillow fully corresponded to the product description.
As it is a self-explanatory product, no separate instructions for use were enclosed. However, all instructions for washing the pillow were provided on an instruction leaflet and on the pillow itself.
Overall, the feather pillow from KNERST left a positive impression. The packaging was practical and protective, the contents of the package met expectations and important information on washing and how to contact us if necessary was provided.
