When our rhapsody wrap pillow appeared on Jill’s Steals & Deals on NBC’s Today morning show, on July 21, 2021, fans of host Jill Martin purchased all 3,000 of the pillows we made available before the morning was over. We weren’t surprised.

What Makes the Rhapsody Wrap Pillow Special for Your Home and Your Guests?

Customers who were introduced to down etc through NBC’s Today purchased the rhapsody wrap for the same reason our hotel clients have chosen it for their guest rooms for nearly twenty years: it has the right combination of soft comfort and firm support to satisfy side sleepers. That comfort is the reason the editor at BILT had selected our rhapsody wrap as her pillow of choice when telling her audience “How to Get a 5-Star Night Sleep” like she’d experienced during her stay at The Park Hyatt Toronto.

1.     Rhapsody Wrap Perfectly Combines Softness and Loft for Side Sleepers

Sleeping in an awkward position can cause you to wake with a stiff neck or shoulder pain. The goal is to find a neutral posture when you sleep. A study in Nature and Science of Sleep found more than half of participants slept in the side position. If you’re a side sleeper, you’ll want a thicker pillow to position your head in the middle of your shoulders to avoid sleeping with your neck at an uncomfortable angle. Our rhapsody wrap provides the necessary support for side sleepers with its white goose feather core while retaining a comfortable softness with its outer wrap of a combination of white goose down and feathers. To learn more about the ways in which your pillow choice can reduce your neck pain, read our article linked below.

2.     Rhapsody Wrap’s Detailing Makes It Durable and Long-Lasting

We began by designing and manufacturing pillows for luxury hotels around the world. It was in response to guests who had slept well on our pillows reaching out to us to purchase the same pillows for their homes that led us to create our retail website. One thing our retail customers can rely upon is the detailing of our pillows that makes them durable enough to withstand the institutional laundering they receive when in use in hotels. Covered in 235-thread-count, 100% cotton fabric ticking, which is preshrunk and down-proof, our rhapsody wrap pillows are fabricated carefully with double stitching and German cotton piping for strength and durability.

3.     Rhapsody Wrap Is Easy to Care For

Down and feather pillows should be laundered if there are visible stains or noticeable odors and should be laundered at least every six months in the absence of stains or odors. You want your pillows to be easy to launder and care for, and that’s what we provide in the rhapsody wrap.  It can be dry cleaned, but it can also be machine washed in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent in a washing machine large enough to allow movement in the drum.

It should be tumbled dry on low in a front load dryer until thoroughly dried to kill dust mites and to prevent mold growth. Down and feather pillows may be dried along with dryer balls or clean tennis balls in order to open up the down and create maximum fluff. Even if down and feather pillows do not need laundering, they will benefit from being placed in the dryer for 3 to 5 minutes on low heat to open the down thereby fluffing and refreshing the pillows.

Since a great pillow reflects an investment of time and money, we want them to last. That’s why we highly recommend using zippered pillow protectors to protect against sweat and spills and to extend the life of the pillows you love.

4.     Rhapsody Wrap Is Available in a Variety of Sizes and Styles

The size of the pillow you choose can depend on your size, your sleep style, and the aesthetic of your bedding. Our rhapsody wrap bed pillows come in the standard, queen, and king size. We’ve also created a unique bespoke size, between a standard and queen, which is dreamy for interior decorators looking for something special to include in their projects.

For side sleepers who like to hug a pillow, we’ve designed our rhapsody roll, a bolster pillow that offers the same soft firmness as our other rhapsody wrap pillows. Since sleeping on your side can reduce the snoring that might occur when you—or your partner—sleep on your back, a bolster placed behind you can support side sleeping. To read more on how snoring affects your sleep, read our article linked below.

For those in search of organic products, our d.o.e. down on earth® rhapsody wrap is manufactured with 100% organic cotton ticking. From this selection, you’ll be able to find what works for you and on your bed.

If you’re a side sleeper, consider a great night’s sleep on one of our rhapsody wrap pillows. You’ll be in great company.
