The Empress Goose Down Fibre Pillow from the Linen Chest is our final pick for 2024. It is made with 100% natural white goose down fibre with a 100% cotton shell. The shell is designed to be down-proof with the 370 thread count and silk cord piping with double stitches preventing the filling from escaping.
All the down fibre used in the Empress pillow is responsibly sourced and certified with the Responsible Down Standard. It has gone through an ultra-fresh patented treatment to preserve its freshness and prevent odours.
These down fibre pillows from Linen Chest are suitable for all sleepers. Regardless of your preferred sleeping position, it will support your head and neck so your spine stays in alignment. However, some users find that they don’t offer the same loft and insulation as down pillows.
The Empress pillows come in three sizes which is a definite plus because it can be challenging to find queen size pillows with many manufacturers only doing standard and king size pillows. While there is no sleep trial available, these pillows come with a six-year warranty and Linen Chest offers a 1-year lowest price guarantee.
What We Learned
There is a difference between down and down fibre fillings such as the one used in this pillow from the Linen Chest. Natural down is the fluffy and soft undercoating beneath the feathers of geese and ducks. Natural down fibre is generally made from broken-down feathers. In some cases, it can also be made using synthetic fibres.
We Recommend the Empress Goose Down Fibre Pillow for:
- All sleeping positions. The pillow offers support for your neck and head whatever position you sleep in.
- People who are sensitive to smells. The patented treatment used on this pillow prevents smells.
- Queen size pillow cases. If you own queen size pillow cases and you would like to use them with your new pillows, these Empress pillows are one of the brands that come in queen size as well as standard and king size.
