The best natural pillow fillers

A large number of people prefer natural materials. They are safe for health, do not contain harmful components. But the main problem is the increased requirements for maintenance and operation.

Feather

A classic and common pillow filler. It is assumed that it should be filled with down or feathers.

Expensive models have a down to feather ratio of 90/10, although 50/50 is more common.

disadvantages

• you must follow the rules of care.
