Amazon.com offers almost anything you can think of. Hence, down pillows are also available for online consumers. There are a lot of goose down pillows to choose from. A  goose down pillow has to make your purchase worth it since they are not cheap after all, so you would want only the best down pillows.

While goose down pillow hunting in Amazon.com, I came across the Queen Size White Goose Down Pillow. It is filled with 28oz of specially purified hand plucked white goose feathers, which makes it all the more suitable for the sensitive sleepers.  It has a fill power of 750, which is really good count for softness and firmness factors. It will also give you durability, making it worth every penny that you have spent on it. It is encased in  100% Egyptian cotton cover and edged with  double silk piping for a neat finish. Now that’s luxury.

This particular pillow will normally cost you around $90 or more but in Amazon.com, it is listed only for $54.98 plus $ 9.99 for the shipping and handling fee. Yes, it does cost a lot for a pillow but do keep in mind that you don’t get the same comfort with regular synthetic pillows.

Here are some important facts to know when shopping for a goose down pillow:

1. Down pillow with goose feathers is a better choice than a duck down pillow due to a peculiar scent the duck feathers give off that most wouldn’t care to smell during their moments of rest and relaxation.

2. Now to make the most out of your purchase you need to know the proper care for a down pillow. Down pillows require dry cleaning. This makes your pillow retain that firmness and fluffiness for the longest possible time. That is why machine washable goose down pillows are uncommon.

3. A useful tip in buying down pillows is  to pay attention to the fill power. Do not buy anything that is below 500 fill power, it will not be worth the money you spent on it.
