That's pretty low, Brain, the trick is to get the real thing, goose down, not just "feather" pillows (which are usually lumpy & prickly and can legally be from chickens, ducks or other fowl), but actual down.

My last one was the first one I ever had, from my childhood. At the end of about 30 years, it was just kaput.

In my experience, all discomfort starts and ends with my neck/spine and when it is properly supported in its natural position (visualize the curve in an x-ray), everything sleeps and wakes better.

I keep one for travel and never leave home without it.
