Synthetic down for pillows: pros and cons

Quality pillows are what make sound sleep possible. Today's bedding market is overflowing with choices, and synthetic swan down is one of the most popular options among shoppers. The filling is practical, comfortable and remarkably light — in many ways synthetic fibers have overtaken natural ones.

Synthetic down for pillows: pros and cons

Pillows are made from a single-layer material. It is exceptionally fluffy, so the pillow keeps its shape. That effect is achieved by treating the raw fiber with a silicone finish. Choosing the right down filling also does a lot for the health of your neck.

Head supports filled with synthetic swan down have a number of advantages

  1. Follows the shape of the body - the filling springs back to its original form.
  2. Easy to look after. It washes easily, and the filling comes out looking exactly as it did before.
  3. Hypoallergenic. The filling does not trigger allergies, which is good news for your health.
  4. A barrier to harmful microflora - damaging micro-organisms cannot live in synthetics.
  5. Affordable price. Large production volumes let manufacturers of bedding accessories keep prices attractive for buyers.
  6. Air circulation. Synthetic materials breathe well, and the pillow dries quickly after cleaning.
  7. A long service life for synthetic down.

A down pillow has drawbacks as well as benefits:

  • low moisture absorption;
  • synthetic down builds up static electricity;
  • it can leave you with aches in the upper spine.

Synthetic down is made from polyester microfibers. The prepared raw material is fed into a machine where high heat and air act on it. The fibers fluff up and become almost indistinguishable from the natural substance.

Items filled with synthetic down are machine washed on a delicate cycle. Ironing is not recommended, as it can ruin the filling. The pillow dries in the shade with air moving around it, and special clips are used for vertical drying. Stubborn stains are best left to a dry cleaner.
