Brooklinen stays true to its mission by offering affordable, quality down pillows to the masses. I had the privilege of reviewing all three different down pillows, plush, mid-plus and firm.
These pillows are stuffed with down sourced from the world-famous duck farms of Brome Lake Quebec, Canada and have a 500 thread count cotton shell. To get that picture of Brome Lake in your head, here’s a picture of the lake:
When you stay at a high-end hotel, chances are you will be sleeping on a down or down alternative pillow. They are very versatile and extremely comfortable. People often don’t invest in them because of the cost.
Pillows are finally getting the credit they deserve However it’s wrong to think of a pillow as just a mini mattress for your head. Although most online beds will appeal to most sleepers, foam pillows will appeal to far less. That’s because with a pillow you really want to be able to sink in immediately and not have to wait for it to adjust. It also needs to breathe and sleep cool throughout the night. There are very few foam pillows on the market that do this. Down is just flat out softer and easier to adjust than foam so it often makes for a better pillow. Finally, these pillows from Brooklinen are much lighter than any foam pillows I have reviewed so if you switch positions at night or just want to have a good pillow fight, these are the pillows for you.
Out of the three levels of firmness, I really liked the plush level of firmness. I sleep on my side and stomach so sometimes I want it flatter than normal but also want to be able to scrunch it up when I switch to my side.
The other levels of firmness would probably best suited to back and side sleepers. The Brooklinen pillows are just as good a bargain as their sheets:
Compare these pillows to the Scandia Home down pillow prices below:
It’s important to note that these pillows are made with duck down which at times be better than goose down.
Most people will enjoy sleeping on down pillows so I always keep a set for guests that come to visit. I actually started my own pillow bar where they can choose their level of firmness. It’s a nice hospitality touch. And it’s to my advantage to have well-rested guests since they will be less cranky in the mornings! The Brooklinen pillows come in their own zip cases as seen below:
Once again, Brooklinen comes through on price and quality. It’s refreshing to see all these new bedding disruptors come online. Everyone should be able to afford quality sleep products.
