Default pillow down

I have seen a few links posted for pillows made from 650 down and was wondering if anyone has actually tried it?

I bought a down pillow and cut it open to use the down for restuffing my sleeping bag. Probably 550 or worse down. But now my sleeping bag is nice and fluffy.

Just make sure you check the tags!! They will often advertise a down pillow but if you look at the tag it will say something like 70% feathers 30% goose down . Streamweaver
