In addition to a high quality foam core, Williams-Sonoma, Inc. also wraps the center foam
core with either poly fill or down.
Poly Fill
A synthetic material used as cushioning in pillows and bedding, poly-fill is soft, durable,
extremely fluffy and widely used in the furniture industry. Made from polyester, the
material can also be referred to as polyester fiber or fiberfill. Polyfill is non-allergenic.
Down Fill
The down of birds is a layer of fine feathers found under the tougher exterior feathers. The
down feather is considered to be the “simplest” of all feather types. In the United States,
Federal Trade Commission regulations require that any product labeled “100% Down” must
contain only down feathers, while products labeled “simple down” can contain a mixture
of fiber and feathers. It is important to note that Williams-Sonoma, Inc. is committed
to the ethical and responsible treatment of animals. All down used in our products are
by-products of the food industry. NONE of our down is live plucked and we offer down
alternatives for our products.
