goose feathers

Pillow stuffing material

Goose feathers are the plumage of a goose, valued for insulation in pillows, comforters, and outerwear.

Down—the soft underlayer—provides exceptional warmth for its weight, while stiffer outer feathers have traditionally been used for quill pens and arrow fletching: a down jacket filled with goose feathers.
