So many reasons to sleep with a wool bolster
The benefits of wool
The exceptional benefits of wool create an incomparable surface feel.
Made-to-measure comfort
The bolster’s firmness is adjusted to your preference: soft, medium-soft, or firm.
A virtuous reuse cycle
It is not thrown away; it can be refurbished. Refurbishment helps extend its life.
Transparency
You know what your dream bolster is made of.
Materials
You know exactly what your bolster contains.
Sleep naturally with healthy, eco-friendly materials of French origin
Our bolsters are handmade from noble, natural, eco-friendly French materials that are also recyclable.
The bolster’s main materials are:
- virgin sheep’s wool
- a casing made from pure cotton, downproof percale
This casing provides:
- a complete barrier that prevents the filling from piercing the material in contact with your skin
- a silky feel
Comfort comes first.
The materials in a Le Briand bolster are produced and processed in France.
These are quality materials whose natural properties are preserved throughout every processing stage.
No chemical components. No synthetic components.
Three filling options are available:
- sheep’s wool
- goose down (on request)
- duck down (on request)
We adjust the bolster’s filling to create a made-to-measure product for your comfort needs.
Beyond sourcing materials that protect the sleeper’s well-being, our entire handmade production cycle through delivery has an eco-friendly dimension and is made in France.
