The Four Seasons pillow has mastered this combination with its signature Down and Feather pillow. Pair this with one of the best mattresses, and you're in for one of the most luxurious nights we could imagine.

This expert guide goes into all the details of the Four Seasons pillows, including where you can buy them and cheaper alternatives. Let's dive in!

What pillows does the Four Seasons use?

The Signature Four Seasons mattress is an innerspring bed that is complemented by Four Seasons' plush Down & Feather pillows. These are crafted from a hypoallergenic blend of 25% white down and 75% feathers, striking a perfect balance of fluffy comfort and support.

The Euro pillow model, on the other hand, consists of 20% down and 80% feathers.

Both come encased in a 240 thread count calendered (a finishing process to smooth out the fabric) cotton cover with double-stitched piped edges to complete the luxury look.

All materials used are OEKO-TEX certified, which means that they're free of harmful substances and are safe and skin-friendly.

When it comes to maintenance, Four Seasons Down & Feather pillows can only be dry cleaned. The brand also recommends fluffing up the pillows in a dryer at a no-heat setting for 20 to 30 minutes before use, as they may have become compressed during transit.

Should you buy the Four Seasons pillow?

The Four Season Down & Feather pillow is carefully crafted with a dreamy blend of premium materials, making it suitable for all kinds of sleepers.

We expect the natural down and feather mix to be supremely plush yet supportive, and a strong choice for those prone to hot sleep, thanks to its 240 thread count cotton cover.

However, as you might expect, considering the brand and the materials used, the Four Seasons Down & Feather is an expensive pillow with prices starting from $190 for a twin.

Unlike other bedding brands, these pillows also lack a warranty or sleep trial. This means you'll be stuck with these costly pillows even if you're not satisfied with the purchase.

The lack of benefits aside, Four Seasons is a luxury name, and if you're planning on recreating the same hotel experience at home, investing in a set of Down & Feather pillows from this prestigious brand is one great way to go about it.
