How to wash your down pillow

Soft, fluffy and simply wonderful. Have you invested in your dream pillow? Here’s how to care for and wash it so it keeps its beautiful feel over time.

With a down pillow filled with premium-quality down, you get that soft, almost “whipped” sensation that only truly fine down can offer.

How do I care for – and wash – my down pillow?

Keep your pillow fresh for longer by using a crisp pillow protector in organic percale. This means you won’t need to wash it as often.

Shake, fluff and air your pillow regularly. This helps distribute the down evenly, allowing the pillow to retain its freshness, loft and fullness.

Wash your pillow sparingly, as each wash gradually affects the natural properties of the down.

Wash in a washing machine at 60°C to ensure it is thoroughly cleaned. An extra rinse cycle is recommended.

Do not use fabric softener.

Choose a soap-based detergent specifically suitable for down. Regular detergents contain surfactants that can damage the down. The natural oils in the down are reduced, causing the pillow to lose volume and its soft, fluffy feel.

Drying is essential

Down and feathers tolerate water well – and with proper drying, your pillow will maintain its soft, fluffy feel and beautiful shape.

Always tumble dry on low heat with a few dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help keep the down evenly distributed.

Pause the drying cycle, remove the pillow and gently fluff it so the filling redistributes and dries more evenly.

When the dryer cycle finishes and the pillow feels dry, shake it and check that it is completely dry on the inside as well. Continue tumble drying if needed.

Allow plenty of time for the pillow to dry fully.
