Goose down or duck down pillow?

A goose down pillow is preferable to a duck down pillow when you have high demands for the resilience and insulation value of your pillow. The down cluster of a goose is larger than that of a duck. The larger the down cluster, the better the insulation value and resilience of the down pillow.

A goose down pillow, therefore, gives you just that little bit more support and comfort than a duck down pillow. On the other hand, a goose down pillow is a lot more expensive than a duck down pillow. This is because, in addition to the fact that goose down has better insulation value and resilience, there are simply fewer geese than ducks. Goose down is therefore scarcer than duck down.
