Overview
This is a 2-pack of standard size, 26 by 20 inch down alternative pillows from Amazon Basics, filled with polyester rather than feathers, aimed at back and side sleepers who want a medium loft.
Down alternative fill is the detail that matters most here: it is polyester built to approximate the feel of down without using feathers, which makes it a workable pick for anyone avoiding a feather or down allergy. Medium density puts it in the middle of the firmness range rather than at the soft or firm ends.
- Standard size, 26 x 20 inches, sold as a 2-pack
- Medium density built for back and side sleeping
- 100 percent polyester microfiber shell with edge piping
- Down alternative fill positioned for allergy sufferers
Who it's for
Suits back and side sleepers wanting a standard 2-pack replacement pillow at a medium loft. Stomach sleepers wanting a very flat pillow, or anyone wanting a firm loft, should look elsewhere.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 2-pack covers both sides of a bed in one purchase
- Down alternative fill avoids feather allergens
- Piped edge helps the pillow hold its shape
- Medium density only, no firm or soft option in this listing
- Not intended for stomach sleepers
Performance notes
The 100 percent polyester microfiber shell and edge piping hold the down alternative fill in place, and because the fill is synthetic rather than feather, it skips the fluffing and shell proofing that real down pillows need. Medium density is the middle setting Amazon Basics offers here, aimed at the back and side sleeping positions the listing names specifically.
