Recently stayed in a hotel that provided down pillows.  Came home and decided that I should try some so went to Wayfair to shop.  After searching, chose these and am not disappointed.  As other posts state, they came in a zipped bag, very flat and compact.  The pillows are well made and have very nice covers. I shook them, and they were fine.  I've slept on them for a week and am very happy.  I might add to this post that I am a bit of a pillow freak.  I have a virtual graveyard of pillows that I try and discard.  Try these, you won't be disappointed!!!
