Mid-plush
I got the middle plush pillow. (Helpful to know with review). Yes, it has a feather core with down all around. I think that is acceptable because it gives good structure. No, I do not think it smells at all. I sniff it all the time and do not notice anything. Little firm at first but settles in. So give it a few days to break in. At first I thought I should have purchased the softest pillow, but I’m glad I got the medium firmness. I sleep on my side and back.
