The secret of pillow fillings: Which one is best for you?

Choosing pillow fillings is very particular. There are three main types of fillings on the market, each with different characteristics and usage experience. Today we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of these fillings to help you choose the most suitable pillow filling.

Down filling 🦢

Everyone should be familiar with down. The down jackets worn in winter are made of down. Down is very fluffy and very comfortable to sit on. It is not easy to deform after long-term use and has a long life. However, the rebound speed of down filling is relatively slow and the production cost is also high, so it is usually used to make high-end sofas or cushions.

Artificial cotton filling 🌸

Artificial cotton is a material that is widely used in modern society. It is very soft and feels very comfortable to sit on. However, the mechanical properties of artificial cotton are poor and the compression load capacity is also small, which is suitable for the internal filling of sofa cushions. It is rare to use artificial cotton alone as sofa filling. In most cases, it is used in combination with sponge.

Sponge filling 🧴

Sponge is another common sofa filling material, which mainly includes three categories:

• Conventional sponge: made from conventional polyether and TDI, with good resilience, softness and breathability.
• High rebound sponge: made from active polyphosphorus and TDI, with good mechanical properties, strong elasticity, large compression load, flame
• resistance and breathability.
• Random pore sponge: The inner pores are of different sizes, similar to natural seaweed, with good elasticity and excellent cushioning during compression and rebound.

Random pore sponge is suitable for cushions, with fast rebound speed and high comfort.

Summary 📝

When choosing the filling material for the pillow, you should decide according to your needs. If you are looking for high comfort and long-term durability, down filling is a good choice; if you like the soft feeling, artificial cotton and sponge are also good choices.
