Our perfectly plump pillow is hand-made in Hungary and filled with a special blend of naturally breathable goose down and feather. It features a chamber construction, think 'sandwich', that has a firmer inner core with a high feather content surrounded by a softer squashier layer that's rich in goose down. It's covered in dust mite-proof, smooth sateen cotton. Fluffy and supportive, our pillows invite you to just sink in and drift off. Hello sweet dreams...

Our Hungarian goose down pillow comes in two sizes:

  • Standard size (50cm x 75cm)
  • King size (50cm x 90cm) - Also sometimes called 'Super king'.

And two firmness types:

  • Soft/medium - For side sleepers & stomach sleepers.
  • Medium/firm - For side sleepers & back sleepers.

Ethically sourced Hungarian goose down and feather pillows designed by Emily & Jonathan in the UK and made in small batches in Hungary using renewable energy. Every pillow comes with an Original Hungarian Goose Down tag and QR code for guaranteed traceability.

Materials:

  • Filling: Hungarian goose down & selected small white Hungarian goose feather.
  • Cover: 100% super soft sateen cotton, in 300 thread count with a special tight dust mite proof weave.
  • Chamber construction: Medium firm inner core: 15% down + 85% feather; softer outer chambers: 90% down + 10% feather.
  • Pillow types: Soft/Medium & Medium/Firm with 600-650 CUIN down fill power.

Care:

  • Shake and plump up your pillow daily to keep the goose down airy.
  • Stand your pillow up each morning and open the window to allow air to circulate.
  • Use a pillowcase in a breathable material like 100% cotton or linen and change it once a week or more often. Synthetics aren't breathable.
  • An overly tight pillow protector or pillowcase can squash the down and affect the loft and feel of the pillow.
  • Wash at 40° every 6-12 months using non-bio (enzyme free) detergent - about a third of the usual amount.
  • Tumble dry on low heat. Your pillow will take longer to dry than a clothes load. Shake the pillow several times during drying to prevent clumping.
  • Use our Wool Tumble Dryer Balls to keep the down filling aerated and to reduce drying time.
  • Replace your pillow every 1 to 2 years for peak support.
  • Love your Scooms pillow and it will love you.

Why we love Hungarian goose down pillows

What should you think about when buying a pillow? First pick a pillow designed for your sleeping position. This will dictate the support the pillow provides and help you decide which type of pillow filling will suit you best. Next, consider the breathability, the durability and possible allergy issues. Then check the certifications meet your high standards. Details matter, which is why we take care to get our pillow exactly right and why we believe Hungarian goose down and small feather is the perfect pillow filling.

Ethically sourced Hungarian goose down and small white goose feather filling with a 300 thread count 100% Supersoft sateen cotton casing.

Our cotton casing is crafted with an especially tight weave to make it dust mite and down feather proof. Approved by the experts at Nomite.

Naturally breathable and moisture wicking Hungarian goose down and goose feather provides three to four times more air circulation than synthetic fillings.

Our chamber pillow (think sandwich) has a high percentage goose feather core for firmness and an outer surround of mostly soft and springy goose down that contours gently to your head. Your pillow will plump up perfectly with a morning shake, but make sure any covering isn't tight or unbreathable as this can stop air reaching the filling and prevent it from fluffing up.

We don't offer a trial period for our Scooms Hungarian goose down pillow due to hygiene reasons but we would be happy for you to try our pillow at home and return it if it doesn't suit you. Please use a pillowcase when testing your pillow and note that we can only accept pillow returns if they are unused, unwashed and in the original packaging.

As the filling is mostly goose down, our pillows can seem fuller and puffier at first use when the down clusters are at maximum loft. If you push your arm on the pillow to remove some of the air, then you can get the feel of how it would be to sleep on.

We always recommend choosing the type of pillow that suits your favourite sleeping position:

  • Soft/medium pillow: For stomach sleepers and side sleepers who like a lighter, squashier pillow with a medium amount of fluffiness and loft.
  • Medium/firm pillow: For back sleepers and for side sleepers who need added head support. Fluffy and supportive with more loft.

If you choose to use a pillow protector, make sure it is made from a breathable material like cotton and that the protector is not overly tight as this can squash the down and affect the loft of the pillow. Alternatively, change your pillowcase every few days to keep your pillow clean. See our guide on How to care for your Scooms pillows.

Follow our care tips to maintain the loft of your goose down and feather pillow and ensure it lasts longer.

  1. On arrival, leave your pillow on the side in your bedroom for a day so that it can return to full loft after delivery, then shake before use.
  2. Shake and plump up your pillow daily to keep the goose down airy.
  3. Stand your pillow up each morning and open the window to allow air to circulate.
  4. Use a pillowcase in a breathable material like 100% cotton or linen and change it once a week or more often.
  5. Note, an overly tight pillow protector or pillowcase can squash the down and affect the loft and feel of the pillow.
  6. Wash at 40° and dry carefully every 6-12 months.
  7. Replace your pillow every 1 to 2 years for peak support.
  8. Love your Scooms pillow and it will love you.

Yes, you can wash Scooms goose down and feather pillows in your washing machine if your drum is large enough or at a laundrette. Follow the instructions on the care label. We recommend that you wash your pillow at 40° every 6-12 months or when required to keep your pillow filling fluffy. Make sure you dry your pillow carefully and shake your pillow during the drying process to unclump the wet down. Read our guide - How to clean your pillow.
