It sounds like you did well finding those specific pillows. That's a steal of a deal if they are less than 10% feathers (hopefully less than 5%).
You'll know if you got good down by how many feathers poke through your material. If you constantly find feathers poking through the nylon, then it was an OK deal. If you find very few, that you rocked this one and I'm jealous! LOL
