Down Pillows?

Down alternative is probably a fluffy polyester.

pct is a bit of a mystery to me.

I think it probably is NOT Primary Care Trust, as in "Primary Care Trust supports Sexual Health Week 'Pillow Talk' Campaign.

Also probably not Pacific Coast Trail (although Google finds bloggers talking about what pillow they used while on that PCT).

PCT has something to do with patents. Here's a list of patents related to pillows (!)

Google also found a link to this thread.

Oh- and if you really want to be poked in the face with quills, be sure to get a low thread count. Feathers will poke more effectively than down too, because down hasn't got quills really, just fluff.

I would have thought PCT was percent. As in 60% goose down, 40% something else? How was the term used in the labeling that prompted the question?
