This may be a silly idea, and please let me know if it is. But I'm in the midst of putting together material for a DIY down UQ. So what I've done is purchased a couple down coats and blankets from thirft stores around town and am "harvesting" the down from them. Very messy, but luckily i live alone so its just me that has to be covered in feathers.
Does it make sense to make myself a down pillow? I like using a pillow to elevate my head just slightly while sleeping also the added warmth. I have an old coleman synthetic pillow that ive been using for years. I'm thinking for making something along the line of 10"x12" or 15" but am debating on the fill. Does 3-4oz sound reasonable? Will it still be able to compact? I'm figuring I have paid close to $1 an ounce for down if not cheaper, so expense is not an issue.
Any ideas?
