Scandia Down: Making Your Bed Softer

For over 3 decade, Scandia Down has been making beds across the United States softer. They have tried and true products, but recently they have went one step further to create an even better finished product. Our favorite collections, Versailles and Gossamer have been replaced with Vienna, Lucerne. They are basically the same pillow just up-scaled with some new details, like a softer, silkier fabric casing.

The great thing about Scandia Down pillows is that in each pattern, there is a pillow that is made specifically for your style of sleep. If you sleep on your stomach use the soft down, if you are a back sleeper use the medium fill, and if you are a side sleeper use the firm fill. Also, unlike other down pillows, Scandia Down uses state-of-the-art equipment to purify and remove all allergens from the down, allowing your allergies to take a rest. Sleep well tonight with the softest pillows by Scandia Down. To view other amazing soft down products by Scandia Down on Sallie home, click here.
