Know before you buy
Firm density indicates that the pillow is designed to provide more structural support and loft. It is best suited for side sleepers or those who prefer their head and neck to be elevated rather than sinking deeply into the fill.
The pillow is filled with a blend of 85% Polish goose down and 15% feathers. This combination provides the signature softness of down while the feathers add the necessary structure to maintain the firm density.
The Cortina pillow is engineered for excellent shape retention. The high-quality Polish goose down is naturally resilient, allowing the pillow to spring back into its original shape even after consistent nightly use.
The insert is encased in a silky, 100% cotton sateen cover. This material is chosen for its smooth, breathable feel and durability, ensuring the fill remains securely contained.
While the pillow uses high-quality natural down and feathers, it is not specifically labeled as hypoallergenic. If you have severe sensitivities to down, you may want to consider a synthetic alternative.
