Hotel guests bring with them all kinds of sleep preferences. Some love a cloud-soft pillow, others want firm support—and then there are the allergy-prone. To cater to all of them, it helps to understand the ins and outs of pillow fillings.

Feather and down pillows offer plush comfort and warmth, but aren’t always suitable for everyone. Synthetic options like microfiber or hollowfibre are often more practical for hotels: they’re hypoallergenic, easy to wash, and stand up well to repeated use.
Finding that happy middle ground? That’s the key. The hotel pillows from Star Linen, specifically the Belvedere Luxury Pillow, for example, mixes feather and down with a soft cotton cover for a classic, indulgent feel—ideal for guests who love a bit of luxury but still need durability.
When hotels offer a few pillow options—or just choose a versatile, high-quality model—it shows they’ve really thought about their guests’ comfort.
