Large pillows for lovers of tradition and cosy comfort.
Here you can choose the feather and down filling that suits you best. In each product description you will find clear details about the exact down and feather ratio, so you can easily compare options.
Many of us remember jumping into our grandparents’ perfectly made bed, filled with big, lofty pillows. These traditional large pillows are still available here, in several colours and sizes. Our classic large pillow size is 70 x 90 cm, but you will also find other popular dimensions among the options.
You can choose higher down content for a softer, more refined feel or a more traditional feather-rich filling for a firmer pillow, depending on your preference.
The filling of a large pillow plays a key role in comfort, support and durability. At Pehely és Álom we generally use a higher filling quantity than many standard commercial large pillows. This results in a fuller, more supportive pillow that keeps its shape better over time.
On the product page you can usually choose from different filling options. You can request a firmer or softer pillow compared with the standard filling level. This adjustment is typically around 10–20%, depending on the quality and composition of the filling. This way you can fine-tune the pillow to your preferred sleeping position and comfort level.
The ratio of feather to down is also very important. A filling with higher feather content usually requires a larger quantity to achieve the same firmness, while a filling with higher down content needs less. This is related to what is known as fill power: the higher the down content, the greater the fill power. A high fill power means that the down clusters trap more air, creating a fuller, more voluminous pillow with a softer feel, even with less filling weight.
When choosing between different large pillows, the question often arises: what is the real difference between them? In terms of firmness, the pillows can be similar, because we adjust the amount of filling according to its fill power so that you receive the desired support level. The main difference is in the feel and refinement of the filling. A pillow with a higher down content generally offers a softer, more luxurious sensation and a smoother surface, with the small feathers hardly noticeable.
For those who prefer a more traditional, slightly firmer feel, a filling with a higher feather ratio may be ideal. Feather adds structure and support, while down provides softness and volume. The right balance between the two can deliver a pillow that is both comfortable and supportive throughout the night.
All pillows in this category are designed with durability in mind. With proper care, a quality feather and down pillow can serve you well for many years. Over time, if the pillow loses volume or freshness, it can often be professionally refreshed and refilled in a specialised down-cleaning service. During such a process, the filling is cleaned and renewed, and the pillow can be refilled to restore its original loft and comfort.
When browsing the products, pay attention to the following aspects:
- Size – the classic large pillow size is 70 x 90 cm, but other frequently requested sizes are also available.
- Filling composition – check the percentage of down versus feather to understand the feel and support level.
- Fill weight – higher fill weight generally means a fuller, firmer pillow, while lower weight gives a softer, more yielding feel.
- Adjustable filling – many products offer the option to choose softer or firmer filling compared with the standard.
If you are unsure which large pillow to choose, think about your usual sleeping position and how much support you prefer under your head and neck. Back and side sleepers often appreciate a fuller, more supportive pillow, while stomach sleepers may prefer a softer, more compressible option.
Within this category you will find large pillows that preserve the charm of traditional bedding while meeting modern comfort expectations. Whether you are looking for a classic, feather-rich pillow or a higher down content for a more refined feel, you can select the combination that best suits your needs. All options are designed to provide a comfortable, cosy sleeping experience night after night.
