Pillow and Cushion Inserts
Pillow and cushion inserts in natural white goose down, 100% cotton, feather-and-down and Memory fibres. High quality for rest and comfort.
The pillow’s filling determines your posture through the night: height, firmness and how well it adapts to the neck and shoulders. The cushion insert’s filling determines the look of the bed: the volume, shape and proportion of the whole. At Matarranz, we select pillow and cushion inserts to the same high-quality standards as the rest of our bed linen collection.
Types of Pillow Filling: Down, Cotton, Feather-and-Down and Memory Fibres
The filling material determines the feel, firmness, breathability and care required. At Matarranz, we work with the most comfortable fillings, in qualities selected for every type of use:
Down Pillow Filling: Softness and Breathability
Down is the filling with the greatest natural softness and breathability. At Matarranz, the down we use most is white goose down, for its excellent qualities. A down pillow moulds to the weight of the head, recovers its loft between uses and regulates temperature better than any synthetic fibre. It is the reference filling for those who sleep hot. See our pillowcases in percale and sateen to complete your bed.
Feather-and-Down Pillow Filling: Volume and Medium Firmness
The combination of feather and down offers greater firmness than pure down, with an equally soft feel. The feather provides structure and the down provides loft. It is the most suitable option for side sleepers, where lateral support and comfort are important criteria.
Memory Soft Filling: Adaptability and Neck Support
Memory Soft filling moulds to the shape of the neck and shoulders and slowly recovers its original form. It offers neck support without pressure points. It is the most suitable option for those with neck discomfort or who sleep on their back.
Hollowfibre Pillow: Comfort and Easy Care
Hollowfibre filling is an option that offers great comfort with simple care. Its hollow-core fibre structure encourages air circulation, helping to keep the pillow cool and breathable throughout the night.
It is an ideal option for anyone looking for a comfortable, practical pillow, as it can be machine washed without losing volume or its properties. Its medium firmness offers a perfect balance between support and comfort, adapting to different sleeping positions.
It is also particularly suitable for skin sensitive to a down allergy.
Cushion Insert Fillings: Volume and Proportion for Dressing the Bed
The cushion insert is the square cushion placed in front of the pillows. Its filling determines the volume, shape and appearance of the bed as a whole. A filled cushion insert keeps the look and comfort the bed requires.
To get the cushion insert to sit plump and well-shaped, we recommend a filling the same size as the inner space of the cover.
We offer cushion insert fillings in down, for maximum volume and loft; and in Memory Soft, for cushion inserts that are also used as support while reading or resting.
Pillow and Cushion Insert Sizes
The standard sizes for pillow inserts correspond to the width of the bed:
- 90 cm pillow: for 90 cm beds.
- 100/105 cm pillow: for 105 cm beds.
- 70 cm pillow: for 135–160 cm beds.
- 90 cm pillow: for 180–200 cm beds.
For cushion insert fillings, the most common size is 60×60 cm.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a down filling and a feather-and-down filling?
Pure down is softer, breathes better and moulds more easily to the weight of the head. A feather-and-down blend offers more firmness and structure. Pure down is the choice for those seeking maximum softness and comfort; feather-and-down suits those who prefer a pillow with a little more support.
Which pillow filling is best if I sleep on my side?
Side sleepers are best suited to a medium-to-firm filling that keeps the head aligned with the spine. A feather-and-down blend, fibre filling, or Memory Soft are the most suitable options.
How do I keep a cushion insert looking plump and well-shaped?
A down filling gives the greatest volume and the best recovery of shape; Memory Soft adds more firmness and holds its position better if the cushion insert is used as a support.
