The best pillow I ever had at a hotel was 100% duck down. I wished I had taken it and then offered to pay for it. I haven't been able to locate a similar one. I ended up buying feather and down pillows but they're not as comfy. I like my head sinking down amongst the feathers. I do have a hard pillow base though. I have a neck pillow that converts to a small rectangular pillow. I take it whenever I travel.
