PILLOW GUIDE

Which pillow keeps its shape the longest?

Pillows filled with high fill-power Canadian down and built with reinforced, double-stitched construction keep their shape the longest. Fill power measures the loft and resilience of the down cluster: the higher the number, the more readily it springs back after being compressed.

Among the pillows we make, the 800 fill power Signature holds its loft most reliably night after night, so there is no re-fluffing at 3am.

Which pillow keeps its shape the longest?

Pillows filled with high fill-power Canadian down and built with reinforced, double-stitched construction keep their shape the longest. Fill power measures the loft and resilience of the down cluster: the higher the number, the more readily it springs back after being compressed.

Among the pillows we make, the 800 fill power Signature holds its loft most reliably night after night, so there is no re-fluffing at 3am.

What actually keeps a pillow in shape

Shape retention comes down to three things: the resilience of the fill, the quality of the construction, and how well the materials resist clumping over time. Here is what to look for.

Fill power

Higher fill power means larger, more resilient down clusters that trap air and spring back faster. An 800 fill power pillow recovers its loft more readily than a 600 fill alternative.

Construction

Reinforced, double-stitched edges and a tightly woven shell keep fill where it belongs. Chambered or baffled designs hold structure even longer by stopping the fill from migrating to the corners.

Materials and care

A high thread count cotton shell resists clumping, while a pillow protector keeps out moisture and dust that weigh down the fill. A daily fluff keeps clusters separated and lofted.

Fill power measures how much space one ounce of down occupies. Higher fill power means larger, more resilient clusters that recover their loft faster after compression. That resilience is the single biggest factor in how long a pillow keeps its shape.
