Adjusting Your Pillow

Our adjustable down pillows provide an unparalleled sleep experience by allowing you to tailor the amount of filling to your personal preferences. This ability to customize your pillow's comfort level is exciting, but should be done with care and safety in mind. Down and feather materials are lightweight and can easily scatter during handling. They are so light that they can often float in the air, which can be a respiratory risk. Please follow the instructions below to ensure a safe adjustment experience.

    Adjusting Your Pillow: Step-by-Step Guide for New Pillows

    1. Work Area: Opt for a clean and spacious area for the adjustment process. You can do this indoors for better control or outdoors when the weather is good and not windy. Indoor adjustments might contain the material better but require more extensive clean-up, while outdoors adjustments may be easier to clean up from but risk losing material in the wind.
    2. Mask: While optional, it is advised to wear a mask while handling the material to prevent accidental inhalation of the material. Consider wearing gloves as well if you are uncomfortable with making contact with the filling.
    3. Children & Pets: Ensure that children and pets are kept away from the area for the duration of the process. Children and pets are more susceptible to choking on floating down and feathers.
    4. Locate and Open the Zipper: Find the white zipper pulley on one side of your pillow. Carefully unzip the pillow, being mindful that feathers can sometimes get caught. If this happens, gently pull the feather out or move it away from the zipper's path. 
    5. Adjust the Fill: Carefully add or remove filling to achieve your desired loft. Have a container or resealable bag ready to hold any excess material. Over time, down & feathers typically condense so you may need to add more in the future. If you run out and need more filling, it can be purchased on our website.
    6. Close the Zipper: After adjustment, zip the pillow fully shut, being cautious of any feathers near the zipper to avoid jamming it.
    7. Test the Comfort: Lie down with your adjusted pillow to ensure it meets your desired comfort level. Fluff it a bit to achieve an even distribution of material.
    8. Clean Up: Have a vacuum cleaner, wet cloth, or dustpan handy to collect scattered material. Be patient, as this may take some time.

    Additional Safety Precautions for Used Pillows

    • Dust Mites and Potential Allergies: Microscopic dust mites naturally thrive in bedding. A small portion of people are allergic to dust mites. For that reason, wearing protective gloves and a mask for any filling adjustments after initial use is strongly recommended. Make sure to follow all other precautions listed as well.
    • Identifying Allergic Reactions: Allergic reactions to dust mites or down material might include skin rashes, itchiness, watery eyes, sneezing, or breathing difficulties. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using and modifying the contents of the pillow, and consult a medical professional.
