Soft, fluffy and enduringly warm, a lavishly-filled pillow or duvet made from the finest European goose down clusters will also have been made to strict ethical standards. This makes the higher price tag a small price to pay for luxury and peace of mind.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefit 1: Down Bedding is Naturally Anti-Allergenic\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing beats the snuggly feel of light-as-air down. Lightweight, breathable and warm, pure down is also naturally allergenic, making it ideal for sneeze-free sleeping. However, there are a few caveats to that claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anti-allergenic properties of a pure down duvet and pillow comes down to its quality. In products where the down has been poorly cleaned or manufactured, it’s not unusual for feather fibres, broken feather quills, dust and other undesirables to sneak their way in, triggering the night-time allergies many people attribute to the down itself. For this reason, look for the Downafresh® mark for assurance of the product’s cleanliness. The NOMITE certification assures the high-quality case weave will form a natural barrier against mites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee what we discovered in high street retailer pillow products in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tielleloveluxury.co.uk\/blog\/simple-life-hacks\/is-your-pillow-all-its-cracked-up-to-be\/\"\u003e‘\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cu\u003eis your pillow all it’s cracked up to be’. \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best anti-allergy bedding, team your pure goose down pillows and duvet with good quality bed linen and pillow protectors that guard against moisture, dust mites and stains.

That said, it's best to replace saggy old pillows that can disrupt sleep and lead to health problems such as the proverbial ‘crook in the neck’. The bobbling or pilling often found in poor quality bedsheets can also prevent you from getting the best night’s sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProlonging your pillow’s life\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll pillows need a little TLC.
