If you’ve stayed at a Ritz-Carlton hotel lately, you’ve probably had some of the best nights of sleep in recent memory. The pillows that they use have a lot to do with this!
The right pillow not only offers the correct support, but also nestles your head in a soft cocoon of luxury. It strikes that perfect balance between soft and loft.
If you’re looking for that pillow, then you’re looking for the Pacific Coast Tria Down Surround pillow.
The down and feather Tria pillow from Pacific Coast is not like most pillows, which are basically just a big bag filled with either down or polyester.
The Tria pillow specifically has three built-in chambers.
These chambers not only keep the feather and down fill in place, but they also provide a balance of soft and loft. This results in consistently fluffy support!
This is what provides the final touch, for example, of any great hotel bed.
General specs
The Tria pillow from Pacific Coast is available in the following sizes:
- Standard – 20″ x 26″
- Jumbo – 20″ x 28″
- Queen – 20″ x 30″
- King – 20″ x 36″
They feature a 300 thread count 100% cotton cover, 3 individual chambers, and Pacific Coast’s “barrier-weave” fabric to keep the feathers and down locked inside.
Hotel pillows at home
Ritz-Carlton hotel rooms are widely recognized for the luxury and the comfort that they provide. They spare no expense in providing their guest with a supremely relaxing and inviting bed.
Unlike some bedding products used in hotels, these pillows are available for retail sale. So, you can actually use these on your bed at home.
To recreate the Ritz-Carlton experience at home, the pillows are an integral piece, of course. If you want these pillows, specifically, you’ll need the Tria pillows from Pacific Coast.
What makes these Tria pillows so great?
The Tria pillow is definitely a luxury model. It has a list of features that other pillow styles just can’t match:
- Design
- Fabric
- Fill
Let’s take a closer look:
Their superior design
Tria pillows feature a 3 chamber design.
Traditional pillows don’t have chambers. They’re just a pillowcase filled with down, feathers, or polyester. Regular chamber pillows, for instance, have 2 chambers – one around the other.
Kind of like a balloon inside of another balloon.
While this design offers more support than a traditional pillow, regular chamber pillows still compress as the night goes on, and eventually deflate in the middle.
Exactly where you need the most support.
The Tria pillow has three individual chambers filled with Resilia feathers.
These chambers are lined across the length of the pillow, and hold their integrity throughout the night. They offer the right amount of support, all night long.
Trapping the feathers within 3 smaller chambers leaves them with no wiggle room – they stay put!
The outer layer is filled with luxurious goose-down fill, to provide that plush outer layer for comfort. When it comes to pillow filling materials, nothing can match goose down in terms of softness.
Allergy-free
Tria pillows contain Pacific Coast’s hyperclean Resilia feathers and down fill.
Due to the washing and sanitizing treatment that they receive, the down and feather blend contained within these pillows is guaranteed to be allergen-free.
Most feather or down allergies are from allergens within the feathers, of course, not the feathers themselves. The sanitizing process eliminates most, if not all, allergy-related concerns.
This is what allows Pacific Coast to offer a Limited Allergy-Free warranty. If you see any signs of an allergy, they will take back the pillow, and issue you a full refund.
Barrier Weave fabric
A common issue that people experience with down or feather-filled pillows is that the feathers tend to leak out. Feathers, because of their sharp quills, tend to poke through the fabric.
And, even if they don’t leak out, they can still poke you.
So, it can feel like you’re sleeping on a pillow filled with nails – which is quite uncomfortable.
The outer cover of the Pacific Coast “Barrier Weave” fabric keeps quills from poking out. And it keeps the entire feather and down fill from leaking out.
Pillow specs
As mentioned above, Tria pillows are available in:
- Standard – 20″ x 26″
- Jumbo – 20″ x 28″
- Queen – 20″ x 30″
- King – 20″ x 36″
They feature an 83% to 17% ratio of feather/down. The inner chamber is all feather, the outer is all down.
Some more specs:
- 500 fill power down
- Medium support
- Navy edge to edge cording
These pillows are rated medium density – which is great for back sleepers. These pillows also offer great loft, so side sleepers should also appreciate them.
Why these are superior to other pillows
Tria pillows from Pacific Coast offer superior design and fill that other pillows just can’t match.
For allergy concerns:
The Barrier Weave fabric keeps the feather and down fill neatly tucked inside, and away from you. If the feathers do somehow leak out, they are ultra clean and sanitized – and virtually allergen free.
As far as comfort is concerned:
Down pillows offer a plush sleeping surface, but tend to flatten out – offering little to no support. Feather-filled pillows offer support but can be a bit stiff for most people.
Regular down surround pillows combine feather and down, but in a lackluster package. They are basically one bag of feathers, inside another bag of down.
They also flatten out throughout the night.
Tria pillows combine the advantages of both fill materials. You get the support of feathers, with the comfort of down fill. The 3 chamber design improves on the down surround pillow model by keeping the fill in place, to offer proper support.
Finally, Pacific Coast pillows are quality made, in the USA. Not only do these pillows come with a 5-year limited warranty, but they also have a 30-night “Comfort Guarantee”.
If you aren’t fully satisfied after 30 nights, then just send them back for a full refund!
Final thoughts
If you slept like a baby in a Ritz-Carlton room, the pillow probably had a lot to do with it. Chances are, that pillow was the down and feather fill one. They are the most popular pillow at Ritz-Carlton hotels.
They offer a combination of lofty support and soft comfort that traditional pillows just can’t match.
Feather and down pillows can be costly though, especially if you’re purchasing a pair (or more).
Feather and down fill, like other natural substances, break down over time. And washing a pillow just speeds up that process.
So, to keep from having to wash it more often, use a pillow protector for each pillow. Not only do they protect your pillows from spills or stains, but they will also keep dust mites and other bugs out!
Pillow protectors are very cheap – they can often be purchased for $5-10 per protector. They add several years to the life span of a pillow, and are worth every penny!
