SEATTLE–The Stearns & Foster Down Caress pillow from Pacific Coast Feather has been awarded the best down/foam combo pillow honor from Good Housekeeping magazine.

The pillow received its citation in the magazine’s March 2011 issue. Good Housekeeping noted the pillow’s construction with a latex core surrounded by clusters of white goose down, and covered in a 700 thread-count fabric combining cotton and silk. According to a Pacific Coast Feather statement, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested the pillow by compressing it and washing it.

The Down Caress is also manufactured using Stearns & Foster’s trademarked TrueClean Process, which removes all dust, dirt and other allergens from the down.
