I know the problem with the cushions; washing them with a mild detergent and then drying them in a tumble dryer for a long time helps well... I'm missing feathers in your list of pillow fillings - don't you have any eiderdown pillows?

I read about this hack somewhere, but I guess it only works with felt or down fillings? I don’t have any cushions or pillows like that, but I do have a down comforter. It’s super lightweight and so cozy—my daughter loves it! However, when it comes to pillows, we prefer something a little firmer, like those filled with cotton or polyester.

Have you ever tried one filled with cotton from the Sumbal tree (silk cotton tree in English. Its scientific name is Bombax ceiba. The fluffy cotton-like fibers from its seed pods are often used as stuffing for pillows and cushions.)? Once, we siblings spent days collecting it, and our mom made a pillow for us. It was so soft and incredibly comfortable!

No, I probably haven't tried that consciously. I know Kapok, maybe it's similar. And alpaca wool - it's also heavenly light!

Congratulations!

Feathers are awesome. But I like the other pillows too
