St. Genève Eider Luxe Pillow

St. Genève's finest pillow. A chambered design pairs a velvety outer layer of genuine Canadian Eiderdown with an inner pillow of 1000 loft Polish white goose down, for gentle softness on the surface and wonderful support underneath.

The story

The eider duck plucks the softest down from her own breast to line her nest. At the Société Duvetnor sanctuary on the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, specially licensed collectors visit each nest by hand, take only a small portion of the down and replace it with straw. The ducks are never harmed and return to nest there year after year. Each nest gives only 15 to 20 grams of down, less than an ounce, which is why Eiderdown is so rare. In the Eider Luxe, this rare Eiderdown surrounds an inner pillow of 1000 loft Polish goose down, the finest white goose down in the world.

Handcrafted in Canada. St. Genève has more than 50 years of experience in down. Each pillow is made by hand in their atelier in Richmond, British Columbia.

Why it is special

• Two downs in one pillow: Eiderdown for softness, 1000 loft goose down for spring and support.
• The inner pillow zips out, so the pillow dries faster when you launder it.
• Comes with a 100% silk jacquard washable pillow protector.
• A portion of every sale supports the sanctuary's conservation work.

Choose your firmness

• Soft: Best for stomach sleepers.
• Medium: Best for back sleepers.
• Firm: Best for side sleepers.

Down pillows settle and soften a little in the first few weeks.

Choose your size

We use US pillow sizes. One Standard (20" x 26") or Queen (20" x 30", UK Standard) for a twin bed, two Standard or Queen for a full or queen bed, and two King (20" x 36") for a king bed. A Standard Queen (20" x 28") is a little longer than a Standard.
