Extra Pillow - 100% Down Feather

Softness you sink into

The Extra pillow by Minardi of Italy is filled with 100% soft goose down — with no coarse feather at all. The soft layer closest to the bird’s body, without the stiff quill, is what gives the pillow its exceptional give and its lightness. Your head sinks into it rather than resting on top of it.

Technical Specifications

Who Is This Pillow For?

For anyone looking for the luxurious hotel feel. The down distributes and shapes itself to your head and neck whatever your position, cradling you gently rather than imposing a fixed shape. It suits a range of sleeping positions and a range of neck shapes, and it is the ideal choice for anyone who prefers soft pillows the head sinks into.

What is the difference between down and ordinary feather?

Down is the layer closest to the bird’s body, cloud-like and without a stiff quill — it is the source of softness and lightness. Ordinary feather has a quill that gives the filling its body and stability. Extra is entirely down with no ordinary feather at all, which is why it is the softest.

Other Pillows You Might Like

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it the softest in the range?

Because it is 100% down with no ordinary feather at all. Ordinary feather is what gives a filling its body, and its complete absence means maximum softness and the lightest weight.

Does it have a smell?

No. The down goes through treatment and washing stages that leave it clean and completely odourless.

Can it cause an allergy?

The filling is treated and dust-mite resistant, certified by DowNoMite. If you have a known feather allergy, consult a specialist.
