Better Sleep is Ahead with Eastern Accents Luxury Pillows #Back2School26

When my package of pillows from Eastern Accents arrived, I had a feeling better sleep was ahead. And with busy back-to-school schedules starting up again, a good night’s sleep feels more important than ever. Eastern Accents is an American-made luxury home textiles brand known for high-quality designer bedding, decorative pillows, and luxury bed linens. For this review, I received two sleeping pillows from the de’ Medici collection: one filled with hypoallergenic down and the other with hypoallergenic faux down. Since my husband is allergic to traditional down, I wanted to try both options. After sleeping on them, we were impressed with how comfortable and supportive they felt. Best of all, my husband hasn’t experienced any allergic reaction.

My husband and I are both side sleepers, so we chose the firm option for each pillow. They provide plenty of support without feeling overly firm or stiff. I also selected the standard size for both since we already have several larger pillows on our bed. The standard size works perfectly for sleeping and doesn’t add even more bulk to our already pillow-filled bed.

Both pillows are part of the de’ Medici by Eastern Accents collection, a luxury linen line inspired by Italy’s long tradition of fine textiles. Eastern Accents crafts the collection in its Chicago facility using premium fabrics and materials sourced from around the world. The line includes everything from sateen, percale, jacquard, and flax linen bedding to sheets, comforters, pillow inserts, and down products. The collection combines beautiful, sophisticated design with the quality and craftsmanship you would expect from luxury bedding made to last.

Celesta Luxe Down Pillow

The standard-size Celesta Luxe Down Pillow is a wonderful addition to our bed. As I mentioned previously, my husband is allergic to down, so we have never had down pillows before. I have been using this one exclusively since I received it.

The 650-fill-power white down gives the pillow a plush, lofty feel, while the firm construction provides the extra support I prefer as a side sleeper. 650 fill power measures the loft of the down, essentially, how much space one ounce of down occupies. A 650 rating is considered quality, lofty down. While the down is real, not faux, like the other pillow I received, it is hypoallergenic down, thoroughly washed and sterilized to remove natural allergens and odor. It is also locally sourced near their Chicago facility. The pillow features a crisp 100% cambric cotton cover and is finished with durable double-stitched self-piping. You can order this pillow in three different sizes: Standard, Queen, or King, and three different firmness levels: Soft, Medium, or Firm.

Loure Faux Down

The Loure Faux Down is Eastern Accents’ signature down alternative. The company developed an ultrafine microfiber filling designed to recreate the loft, warmth, and resiliency of natural down. The result is a pillow that feels plush and luxurious without using actual down. The filling is also water-resistant and free from down-derived allergens, making it an especially appealing choice for anyone who loves the feel of down but is sensitive or allergic to it.

That was particularly important in our house. Since my husband is allergic to down, I wanted him to have a pillow that could deliver a similar soft, lofty feel without causing a reaction. I was impressed by how much the Loure feels like a traditional down pillow. It has that inviting, fluffy quality you want when you first lay your head down, but our firm version also provides the support we need as side sleepers. Most importantly, my husband has been sleeping comfortably on it without any allergy issues.

Like the Celesta, the Loure features a crisp 100% cambric cotton cover. Eastern Accents finishes it with durable double-stitched self-piping, which gives the pillow a polished look and reinforces the edges. These may seem like small details, but they contribute to the quality and craftsmanship you would expect from a luxury pillow.

Because these pillows are an investment, proper care can help keep them comfortable for years to come. Eastern Accents recommends always using both a pillow protector and pillowcase to protect the pillow and maintain its quality. The company also recommends professional cleaning approximately every five years.

My Thoughts

As back-to-school season is underway, our days seem to get busier and our schedules a little more hectic. That makes getting a good night’s sleep even more important. Creating a comfortable, relaxing bedroom is a simple way to ensure everyone has a welcoming place to recharge at the end of the day.

After trying both Eastern Accents pillows, I can see how upgrading something as simple as your pillow can make your bed feel a little more luxurious. I love that we were able to choose the firmness and fill that worked best for each of us. The hypoallergenic down offers the plush comfort of a traditional down pillow, while the Loure Faux Down gives my husband a luxurious alternative without the down-derived allergens he needs to avoid.

Both pillows feel beautifully made, supportive, and comfortable, and they have quickly earned a permanent place on our bed. Whether you’re refreshing your own bedroom, helping a college student create a comfortable home away from home, or simply looking for a better night’s sleep, Eastern Accents offers plenty of options to help make bedtime something to look forward to. After all, a busy back-to-school day is a whole lot easier after a great night’s sleep.

I also love to support American-made products and brands. Eastern Accents is a family business that was founded by a husband-and-wife team in 1989. Based in the heart of Chicago, they have kept all of their departments (including manufacturing) under one Windy City roof. Eastern Accents’ team is made up of dedicated Chicagoans. Many of them live in the streets surrounding the facility, the last of its kind within Chicago city limits. This is the type of business that I feel good about supporting.
