ABOUT OUR FIBERS AND FILLS
Welcome to
Inside beautiful
…
a world of information about creating the foundations for pillows, indoor/outdoor cushions, bedding and more. After all, it’s what’s on the “inside” that counts! We have a wide variety of choices when it comes to filling, and that can be somewhat confusing when trying to choose the right combination of feather, fiber or fill. See below information that can help you when making those decisions.
100% Down:
We use cleansed and sanitized duck down. Our down is ethically harvested, triple washed, and then sanitized at our factory. We tumble it for several hours to produce a lovely mixture of soft and lofty fill.
Ideal for high quality bedding and decorative purposes.
Feathers:
We use only 2-4 cm soft feathers. The feathers are ethically harvested, washed, steam cleaned, and sanitized at our factory. These feathers have a nice curl, small quills, and a small percentage of down-like quality fibers.
Ideal for throw pillows and seat cushions.
Down & Feather Blends:
We custom blend and sanitize our down and feather at our factory. Typical blends include: Soft feather (5% down, 95% feather), 10% down/ 90% feather, 25% down/75% feather, 50% feather/50% down, 80% down/20% feather. Our down/feather blends are meticulously combined to ensure a uniform mix and exceptional loft. We then tumble each blend for hours to ensure a consistent, high quality product.
10% down and 90% feather is ideal for throw pillows, seat cushions and backs.
25% down and 75% feather is ideal for high quality throw pillows, seat cushions and backs, as well as envelopes.
50% down and 50% feather is well suited for sleep products such as pillows, duvet inserts, feather beds, and mattress toppers.
80% down and 20% feather is ideal for luxurious sleep products including pillows, duvet inserts, feather beds, and mattress toppers.
Fiber:
We process our fiber fills in the factory to produce an exceptionally light and "lofty" feel. Our fiber filled pillows feel smooth and soft and evenly filled.
Blended Down
is a combination of soft feather and fiber. It is a firm fill, and an economical choice.
Polysilk™
is a luxurious down alternative fill. It is a polyester microfiber that has a soft and silky feel. Polysilk™ is long lasting, machine washable, and hypoallergenic.
Polysilk™ is a .7 to .9 denier polyester microfiber. The fibers are coated with silicon and bonded using heat and pressure. This process increases the life span of the fiber, ensuring a washable product, and long-lasting pillows, comforters, and mattress toppers.
We do continuous in-house testing and have used Polysilk™ for numerous projects from bedrooms to outdoor furnishings. The results have been outstanding!
Polysilk™ performs and feels like pure down, is hypoallergenic, and cost effective. For home decorating and sleep products we choose Polysilk™ for ourselves and our friends. It is perfect for discriminating interior designers and their clients, and Polysilk™ has been proven, through experience, to be the best down alternative product we know of.
Polyester Fiber i
s a functional and durable fiber that has a firm and supportive feel. It is hypoallergenic, washable, and resists mildew. For our outdoor products we use Accord fabric for covers.
Poly Prima
- is traditional Polyester, a functional and durable fiber that has a firm and supportive feel. It is a down alternative option, hypoallergenic and resists mildew. This is the same fill as POLY listed above, however it has a cotton cover, and is designed for indoor use.
Poly Green Fiber
is made from recycled plastic beverage bottles. Poly Green is also down alternative, hypoallergenic and resists mildew. Our Poly Green inserts are an outdoor product, covered with our Accord cover.
Machine Washing Down and Feather:
Machine Wash in hot water with small amount of mild detergent in a Normal or Gentle cycle.
Tumble Dry on high heat for two cycles with a couple of clean tennis balls to enhance the fluffing. Let pillows cool completely between cycles.
Machine Washing Polyester Fibers:
Machine Wash Cold with small amount of mild detergent in Gentle cycle.
Tumble Dry Low Heat for two cycles, with a couple of clean tennis balls to enhance the fluffing.
And then of course, there’s always our Perfect Pillow blend!
