I'm always in search of the perfect pillow.  Seems like every time I'm in a hotel (one certain chain), I absolutely love the pillows, but haven't been able to find anything comparable in the stores or online.  So, I thought I'd give goose down a try.  These aren't super fluffy, more of a flatter pillow.  You can punch them around and shape them any way you want.  My only problem is that they're pretty hard - but yet floppy at the same time.  These pillows are well made, gusseted, and look very nice.  I've just never slept on goose down before, so wasn't sure exactly what to expect.  If you like a feather pillow, you'll probably like the quality of this one.  Any I definitely think it's the real deal.  My pup really is interested and sniffs the pillows like crazy, so he's probably looking for the duck!
