What True Down Feels Like
There is a reason the world’s finest hotels still rely on down. Properly made, it disappears beneath you while maintaining perfect support.
The Original Queen Anne Pillow is dense without weight. Silent without stiffness. Soft without collapse. It responds as you move and restores its shape by morning.
Luxury Without Compromise
Most down pillows on the market are compromises. Blended with feathers. Over-processed. Built to meet a price point.
The Queen Anne Pillow was designed without those constraints. It uses only pure goose down, finished in small batches, and assembled individually at the time of order.
The result is a pillow that performs consistently, night after night, year after year.
Materials, Responsibly Sourced
The down used in the Queen Anne Pillow is sourced exclusively from Europe, where animal welfare standards are among the strictest in the world. It is obtained as a by-product of the food industry and processed without live-plucking or force-feeding.
Every batch is traceable, triple-washed, and certified for cleanliness and purity.
Made One at a Time
Each Queen Anne Pillow is hand-filled at the time of your order and finished with 300-thread-count, 100% cotton feather-proof ticking.
Reinforced double-rail stitching and piped edges ensure the pillow maintains its shape and integrity long after mass-produced pillows fail.

HOW THIS PILLOW COMPARES TO OTHER QUEEN ANNE PILLOWS
To the Princess: The Original Queen Anne Pillow will be slightly softer than the Princess. This is because 50% of the Princess's fill contains goose and duck feathers. These feathers give the Princess more loft and sturdiness than a 100% down filled pillow.
To the Duchess: The Original Queen Anne Pillow will be much softer than the Duchess. This is because 75% of the Duchess's fill contains goose and duck feathers. These feathers give the Duchess far more loft and sturdiness than a 100% down filled pillow.
To the Majesty Down: The Majesty Down is designed to be the synthetic down alternative to the Original Queen Anne pillow. Both pillows are near identical in the way they feel and perform. They are very soft. However, the Majesty Down is machine washable and does not contain any organic material that may break down over time.

What makes a down pillow \"ethically sourced\"?
An ethically sourced down pillow is one where the fill is obtained humanely as a byproduct of the food industry. At Queen Anne, our down is never harvested through live-plucking or force-feeding. We ensure all materials meet the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) and are IDFL certified to guarantee animal welfare and supply chain transparency.
Is 100% goose down more ethical than other down/feather blends?
While both can be ethical, 100% goose down is often considered the premium ethical choice because it utilizes only the softest under-plumage from mature birds. Pure goose down offers superior longevity and a smaller environmental footprint over time.
How can I verify my pillow wasn't live-plucked?
Verification comes from third-party certifications. Every Queen Anne Pillow is traceable to European farms that adhere to strict animal welfare laws. Our triple-washing process and IDFL certification provide documented proof that no live-plucking occurred.
How long does an ethical goose down pillow last?
A high-quality, ethically sourced down pillow can last 10 years or more with proper care. Because natural down clusters are more resilient than synthetic fibers, they maintain their 650 fill power much longer. This durability makes it a more sustainable, \"zero-waste\" option compared to synthetic pillows that need frequent replacement and are rarely biodegradable.
What is the difference between European and Asian goose down?
European white goose down is widely regarded as the gold standard for ethics and quality. European farms typically have stricter animal welfare regulations and colder climates, which result in larger, more insulating down clusters. This allows The Original Queen Anne Pillow to provide better
support with less weight.
Are ethical down pillows hypoallergenic?
Yes, most \"down allergies\" are actually reactions to dust and dander, not the down itself. Our ethically sourced down undergoes a rigorous triple-washing and purification process to remove allergens. For extra protection, we use a 300-thread-count, quill-proof cotton cover to keep the fill securely inside.
Is 100% goose down biodegradable?
Yes, 100% natural goose down and our 100% cotton ticking are fully biodegradable materials. Choosing a natural down pillow helps reduce the microplastic pollution associated with polyester \"down alternative\"
fills, making it the preferred choice for eco-conscious sleepers.
Why is European goose down more expensive?
The price of the Original Queen Anne Pillow reflects the cost of humane farming practices, small-batch processing, and hand-filling in our South Carolina studio. Unlike mass-produced pillows, each one is made to order to ensure the highest standards of luxury and ethical integrity.
Which firmness level is best for my sleeping position?
To get the most out of your ethical down pillow, choose a firmness based on
your sleep style:
- Firm: Ideal for side sleepers who need extra neck alignment.
- Medium: The best \"all-around\" choice for back sleepers.
- Soft: Perfect for stomach sleepers who want a low-profile, cloud-like feel.
How do I clean an ethical down pillow?
To preserve the natural oils and loft of the down, we recommend Dry Clean Only. Specifically, use a cleaner equipped with a pillow vac for down products. For daily maintenance, fluff your pillow every morning to restore its 650 fill power and maintain its shape for years to come.
