signed. It's an inconvenience for me,Highly allergic to feathers and down.
Have to have then changed to foam at every hotel I go to.
When I was staying at the Sheraton,the couch pillows were also feather and learned it the hard way.
More than just the birds suffer, makes no sense to me.

No need to do this to the animals, there are other ways to make pillows. Poor birds.

Hope those who use the pillows have nightmares. Stop this practice. I'd give you another star but you just got one. Hope this will do ******** thank you Cher.

I've heard the do this in the east-countries, but I thought it had been stopped. They can pluck them several times before they die. How can these people live with themselves?
