Fieldcrest Luxury Down Alternative Pillow filled with DACRON® Memory Fiber = Better Night’s Sleep

A down pillow is something luxurious to sleep on. Unfortunately, I’ve learned over the years that down pillows can be a bit expensive and some people have allergies to down. DACRON®, and Fieldcrest have come up with the answer. It is a down alternative pillow that is filled with a special DACRON® memory fiber fill. This pillow is affordable for any budget, is as soft as down and has an added benefit..you do not have to fluff this pillow every night! The memory fiber expands to its original size every time. Pretty great, right?  There are also no pinfeathers to poke through the fabric in the middle of the night.

The Target Fieldcrest Luxury Pillow w/Dacron Memory Fiber down alternative pillow is covered with 300 thread count cotton sateen fabric. That means the fabric has 300 threads to every inch. Most cotton pillowcases will have 150 thread count, which feels like a typical cotton fabric. A 200 thread count sateen feels smooth and luxurious. The 300 thread count cotton sateen will feel like superior luxury without the extravagant price tag. The pillows cost less than half the price of regular down pillows.

If you suffer from pain in your shoulders, upper back or neck, this new pillow is large and wide enough to offer full support while you sleep. Quality rest does not just come from the mattress alone. The most comfortable mattress cannot help if the pillow is not comfortable.

This hypo-allergenic product has a decided advantage to natural down. While natural down must be taken to a dry cleaners experienced in handling natural products, these pillows are machine-washable. They can be cleaned and hung to dry at home. This saves money for the customer while providing the ultimate in comfort.

Children love down alternative pillows too!

These pillows will make a wonderful addition to any bed. They will make great gifts for friends or family members who are having trouble getting enough rest every night. Use these in a house, dorm room, RV, boat or anywhere rest and comfort are needed. A good night’s rest is a sound investment.

DACRON memory fiber down alternative pillowThe global business director for INVISTA’S Dacron® Fiberfill business stated, “Compared to other super-soft down alternative fiberfills, DACRON® Memory Fiber fiberfill offers a full hand and resilience.”

My husband and I have really enjoyed resting our heads on our new Fieldcrest Luxury Down Alternative Pillows, available exclusively at Target stores and Target.com around June 17th, the last couple of weeks.  They look fabulous on our bed.. so much better than the flimsy, fluff filled pillows we had on our bed before.

This down alternative pillow is available at Target and bears the DACRON® fiber quality seal.

Review: Create your perfect pillow by Select Comfort

I’ve been on a quest for a good night’s sleep for about.. let me think .. 10 years. Since I was pregnant with Sebastian, almost 10 years old. I didn’t know at the time that the sleep I got during the first trimester of my first pregnancy included my last full nights of sleep. I would have thrown a farewell party.

Select Comfort - Create your own pillow

Just because I dont’ get a full night’s sleep doesn’t mean I can’t be comfortable when I am sleeping or in bed wishing I was asleep.  I was lucky enough to receive a Select Comfort personalized pillow recently and now know that a good pillow can make a big difference in the quality of sleep I get as well how good or bad my back and neck feel in the morning. Before using my new Select Comfort pillow created just for me based on my sleep position and comfort ‘requirements’, I woke up with a sharp pain in my neck and my neck would be uncomfortable for an hour or so after I got out of bed. I am a stomach sleeper (not so good) and my previous pillow had my neck in a very bad position, several inches above the level of my spine which I learned was not good for my neck or spine.

My new Select Comfort personalized pillow was created based on my answers to several questions and my comfort preferences.  My personalized pillow is filled with Down alternative, has a silver outer ‘shell’, and a silver protector.  Down alternative is less expensive than Down, equally shapeable, and hypoallergenic unlike Down. Other fills include real Down, feather, silver, and memory foam.   I love the silver outer protector.  It’s cool to the touch and is naturally antimicrobial (inhibits the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses) which is great for “germaphones” (Sebastian’s word for germaphobe) like me.

My Select Comfort pillow goes everywhere I go.  No, not to the living room.. just on vacation.  Once you get used to your very own personalized pillow, leaving it home when you travel is like forgetting to pack your bra.  Not good!

Go ahead, create your perfect pillow here.

Pilloroo – a pillow for kids with a surprise inside!

Pillaroo The Pilloroo is a gift givers (and recipients) dream!
Pilloroo is a 14″ pillow with a zippered pocket that opens to reveal a coordinating surprise.

Madelyn got a Pilloroo for Christmas and now has 3 comfort blankets and a Pilloroo.  I have to stop the growth of her comfort clan soon or it’s going to get out of control!

Perfect for long car rides, the Pilloroo is an all-in-one comfort item, and toy.. and in our case, a snack carrier too!  When we are going to scouts or going to be in the car for a while, I pack a snack bag and stick it in the Pilloroo pouch for Madelyn to find.  I love the surprised look on her face when there’s something new or different in the Pilloroo pocket.  Now, if I would find a million dollars in there, I would be thrilled.

Each pillow comes with a stuffed animal that lives in the pillow’s secret pouch.  Pilloroo pillows make great gifts and with about 20 designs to choose from, you’ll find one for every child you love.
