Need of use of pillow is caused during sleep by anatomic features of our body. That stay was comfortable and full, backbone, being in horizontal position should not be bent. When choosing good pillow much attention should be paid to filler.
At once It should be noted that when stuffing pillows the chicken feather should not be used. Because of extreme hygroscopicity it absorbs in itself moisture and in the course of production of bedding the ferry cannot be processed and it is properly washed out, and in use at all begins to decay. Therefore in the majority of the European countries it is strictly forbidden to use these raw materials the legislation. There is delusion and about use of swan's down. Swan's down, suitable for production of bedding, does not exist as swan – thermophilic bird who flies away to the warm countries on wintering. Severe conditions are necessary for forming of sound pushina: cold reservoirs and hard winters. By the way, under the influence of such conditions, eider down which products with application are appreciated worth its weight in gold is formed and represent luxury goods. The duck and goose quill and down are most widespread. Goose down larger also possesses the best, in comparison with duck, heat-insulating properties. It is more elastic and elastic. At appropriate care the pillow life cycle with filler of goose down makes 15-20 years, of duck – 5-10. Therefore, getting down pillow, pay attention what down was used when stuffing. Use of goose down, as a rule, is specified on the label and explains the high price of pillow. There is still such subtlety as color of goose down which can be white or gray. Down of white color which meets in the nature less often is more highly appreciated. At release of pillows from gray down dense fabrics of dark coloring are used that allows to hide color of filler. For production of products from white down, as a rule, use elite fabrics of white color. Also the price and quality of down are influenced by environment of keeping of birds: the closer to the North they lived, the its pushina is more qualitative and larger, and the indicator of fullness (FILL POWER/FP) is higher. Big distribution was received today by pillows with synthetic fillers. The cost of such products can strongly differ depending on type of the used synthetics. And less subject to drop Komforel filler from DuPont is recognized as the most modern. This thermoprocessed siliconized fiber transformed to small balls. Availability in product of sewn in number labels guarantees originality of this filler. Use of cheap analogs of spherical filler reduces the cost of pillows and sometimes their quality. Synthetic fillers were created on similarity natural, but any of them cannot replace completely on quality feather and down. Nevertheless, in the modern world, problems of shortage of natural raw materials and increase in number of the people having allergy push to their creation. The qualitative pillow with filler from synthetics is always cheaper down, it is easier to look after her. Minus of synthetic pillow is its rather low wear resistance. Qualitative down pillows, on the contrary, have high wear resistance, but demand special care.
