Club Benefits
I've tested foam pillows and slept on ones stuffed with polyester — but I've never tried the feather and down pillows that luxury five-star hotels swear by. All that changed when I got my hands on the Helix Down & Feather Pillow, now $72,03 (was $98.66) at Helix with code TOMS27, and I don't think I'll ever be tempted by cheap fiberfill again.
Our team has tested all the best pillows on the market and adjustable shredded foam is the fill favored by sleep brands right now. But the Helix Down & Feather Pillow proves that nothing beats a classic. The natural fill provides the perfect balance of cloud-like softness and structural support that rarely needs fluffing for the right feel.
Now is the time to buy, too. Our 27% off discount code TOMS27 only crops up during big federal holiday sale events, so this may be your last chance to save on the cool, supportive Helix Down & Feather Pillow before the extended Memorial Day mattress sales officially end and summer begins.
3 reasons why I love the Helix Down & Feather Pillow
1. It offers great neck support
The Helix Down & Feather Pillow may be soft, but it offers stable support thanks to its clump-free natural fill. I've found in the past that shredded foam can lump together, creating an uneven surface that forces my head out of its natural alignment.
In the Helix Down & Feather Pillow, however, the fill is evenly distributed so my head and neck feel supported and remain properly aligned. From the first night of using I've been waking up neck pain free.
2. It's cruelty free
Natural down and feather pillows do use fill from birds but rest assured, the Helix Down & Feather Pillow is cruelty-free. Its certified by the Responsible Down Standard, which confirms that ducks and geese were treated humanely in the making of the pillow.
This certification means that no live plucking or force feeding is involved in the production of the pillow.
3. It sleeps cool
Paired with a breathable, moisture-wicking cotton cover, the airflow-boosting down feather fill provides a cooler sleep experience. I pair my down and feather pillow with a cotton percale pillows case or a natural silk cover for enhanced cooling synergy.
I've been using my pillow during a heat wave and so far, the cooling has impressed me.
If you want a hotel-style down-alternative pillow...
While Helix's down and feather pillow provides support and clump-free durability, pillows made with this fill tend to sit in the premium price tier. Down-alternative pillows are great budget-friendly alternatives, made with hypoallergenic synthetic fill that mimics down feathers.
