Overview
All of Scandia Home’s down pillows are stuffed with RDS-certified down, which means that the down is sourced as humanely as possible. Unfortunately, Scandia Home do not use organic cotton for their covers and cases and they also sell synthetic down alternatives, but they do offer a lifetime guarantee on their products and are one of the few companies to use RDS-certified down across the board.
The St. Petersburgh Pillow is Scandia Home’s loftiest pillow, in many ways. It ranges in price from $735 -$1,185 and is crafted from Siberian white goose down and covered in German silk Damask. It has a fill-power of 850-900, meaning supreme fluffiness, and the cover is made with a 439 thread-count 100 percent silk jacquard with crème floral and scroll baroque pattern. It is available in Standard, Queen, and King, is professional dry clean only, and is made in America.
The Luxembourg Pillow ranges in price from $630-$1,075. It is made to order, with the loft of 800 fill-power Siberian white goose down and German silk-and-cotton Jacquard.

Scandia Home vs. Parachute vs. CocoMat
If you simply must have down pillows, Scandia Home offer some of the most indulgent available. For sheer luxury, Scandia Home is hard to beat, and they have committed to using RDS-certified down in all their products. They still use conventional cotton (one of the most toxic resource hungry crops) however, and they don’t have a philanthropic bent to their company. If you want to pay a little less and don’t need the luxury cases, go for Parachute or CocoMat, both of which have at least some eco-credentials. Or, better yet, choose a kapok pillow: the truly eco-friendly option.
