Pillow inserts, often overlooked in the realm of home decor, are as crucial to our comfort as a mattress on a bed frame. Furthermore, a high-quality pillow insert bestows your pillow with a designer aesthetic and a luxurious feel. Are you seeking a moldable insert that maintains its “V-shape”, or do you prefer a bouncier, more resilient option? In this guide, we'll delve into the advantages and drawbacks of various insert materials and suggest reliable sources where you can find the perfect inserts for your needs.

For those of you who already have a clear preference for the type of pillow insert you're seeking, I'm pleased to offer recommendations for trusted sources with links where you can find the perfect inserts for Ciélle Home pillows sizes, whether you're in search of square, lumbar, or bolster pillow inserts. As a general rule, we recommend choosing inserts that are about 2" larger than your pillow covers.

Conversely, if you prefer a softer yet still bouncy option, we recommend  bolster insert in down/feather or bolster insert in down alternative or Perma Soft from Pillowxpress. Please remember to order the appropriate insert size: a 7x18” insert for our 6x18” neckroll bolster, a 9x24” insert for the 8x24” twin bolster, a 9x36” insert for the 8x36” queen bolster, and a 9x48” insert for the 8x48” king bolster.

Let's break it down further: 'down' refers to the fine feathers located beneath a bird's outer, tougher plumage. These feathers are typically sourced from the bird's soft belly, where they provide exceptional insulation to maintain warmth. Down fibers are known for their light and fluffy nature and their absence of quills. Conversely, 'feathers' are what you likely picture as the more common bird plumage, featuring a central spine with fibers or hairs fanning out to create the recognizable leaf-like shape. Due to its relative scarcity, down is much pricier than feathers.
