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.
