    Ultimate Hungarian Goose Down Standard Pillow Pair Soft/Med looks nice, a bit dear tho!


    Can recommend the Hungarian king size quilt from Debenh@ms, my best buy ever.


    Found out a nice story from a Hungarian I work beside, seems when a couple get married then the top/1st present they must receive is a Hungarian Goose Down Quilt, which means no matter where or how hard up they are, they will always be warm.:smileyhea bit of a tradition there seemingly.

    Indeed, but it's like deciding to buy a car and choosing the Rolls Royce! Their microfibre are priced very well and are lovely. (Their Hungarian are much cheaper compared to the likes of John Lewis etc)

    Without meaning to stretch the analogy too far (I'm a huge fan of buying stuff for life where possible), a RR will last for quite a long time, regardless of the depreciation. Now pillows? Surely that's a 3-4 year item no matter what you buy? :think:

    :rotfl:I'm just saying that Hungarian Goose down is really expensive, if you're comparing it to hollow fibre. That's all. No reference to depreciation or longevity.
