Cozier and more contemporary, we tell you everything about our bolster ...
01. What is a bolster used for?
A perfect comfort complement to the pillow , the bolster is the essential bedding accessory when you know its properties. More plump and firmer than pillows, it allows optimal comfort and a better body position for sleeping and relaxing on your bed.
To relax
Sitting behind the back, it offers perfect back support for reading your favorite novel, watching a film or even enjoying breakfast in bed.
To sleep
Side sleepers can improve their comfort by using the bolster as side support. Positioned along the body, it can relieve pressure points in the pelvis and provide better support. It is also suitable for pregnant women to allow a better sleeping position and more pleasant nights.
The bolster can also be positioned under the pillow for people wishing to sleep with their head elevated. A 90cm bolster is ideal if your partner does not have the same need for comfort as you!
The bolster , generally the width of the bed, decorates the headboard and holds the pillows nicely tilted: a real 5-star hotel look! A smaller bolster can also be used as a decorative cushion in front of the pillows or even on the sofa.
02. In what material?
The synthetic fiber bolster allows for easier maintenance and is therefore recommended for people with allergies. They are also more accessible on the market.
The bolster made from natural materials , down and feathers, is more breathable and provides incomparable comfort. The combination of down and feathers guarantees resilience, bounce and a very long lifespan. Go ask your grandparents, their bolster is probably made of feathers!
03. In what format?
It is THE traditional format of our childhood and the most widespread. This curved cylindrical format allows for maximum loft and bounce. It is chosen by people looking for support and elevation.
The flat bolster
The flat bolster entered the market more recently. Rectangular in size, its volume is lighter, so it is more flexible and flat. This can replace the pillow for sleeping and is more suitable for people with fragile necks.
The Bonsoirs bolster, neither round nor flat
Rectangular but plump, that's the bet we took. The Bonsoirs bolster is far from a flat bolster, we have chosen a well-filled filling in order to have the swelling and comfort of traditional bolsters but twisted with a more modern look!
