Nothing beats that sleep you have at a hotel. From the squashy-yet-supportive pillows to the crisp, puffy duvet, there’s little better than a proper good hotel snooze.
So, what if we told you that you could snap up the exact pillows used in countless hotels across the UK? And that a hotel-quality sleep could be your standard at home?
This World Sleep Day (which is tomorrow, FYI), I decided that I needed to switch up my bedding, and seeing as some of my greatest slumbers have been in hotels (Premier Inn, I’m looking at you), I knew there was nowhere better to look than Fine Bedding Co.
The Fine Bedding Co Set of 2 Boutique Silk® Pillows Bundle
Designed to turn your bedroom into a boutique hotel without the early checkout, these medium/firm, beautifully rich silk blend pillows are packed full of advanced Smartfil fibres blended with the finest silk, giving you a taste of ultimate natural indulgence from home.
After the huge (and I mean life-changing) success of their Coverless Duvet, which is my new ride or die sleep essential, I thought there’s probably nobody I trust more than them to give me great sleep.
So, I snapped up their Boutique Silk Pillow bundle, as well as their Spundown Duvet, and put them to the test.
Designed to turn your bedroom into a boutique hotel without the early checkout, these medium/firm, beautifully rich silk blend pillows are packed full of advanced Smartfil fibres blended with the finest silk, giving you a taste of ultimate natural indulgence from home.
This is all encasing in a soft-to-the-touch cotton cover with a beautiful stripe design, adding extra breathability to the silk pillow and ensuring you’re comfortable and cool every time you lay down your head.
How do the pillows look?
Adorned with a sleek white stripe design, these pillows truly look the part. They’re sleek yet totally puffy, and look gorgeous alone or stacked with another pillow.
I slipped on the brand’s Eden Green Matelasse 100% BCI Cotton Duvet Cover Bedding and I absolutely loved how full and elegant they looked, especially accompanied by the gorgeously puffy and luxe duvet.
(Side note: These sheets are perhaps some of the most gorgeous I’ve ever owned. They look and feel such beautiful quality and have been made using crisp 100% responsibly sourced BCI Cotton. 10/10 would recommend.)
They just look so good. Literally like you’ve just checked yourself into a boutique hotel. Swoon.
How do the pillows feel?
You know that feeling when you jump onto a hotel bed and just sink into the cushions like they’re marshmallows? These pillows give that same, squishy and cosy feeling, truly like resting your head on a cloud.
While they claim to be medium/firm, I’d say that for my firm pillow-loving self they fall more around the medium mark, so if you like something a lot firmer then I’d opt for the Spundown Firm Support Cotton Pillow. Love a medium squish? The Boutique Silk Pillows will be for you.
The thing is though, while I do lean towards firm, I slept incredibly well on these pillows, and thanks to their impressive support I wasn’t left with a stiff neck in the morning. Instead, I was rested and comfortable, and what more can you ask for than that?
What I also love about these pillows is that they hold their shape night after night, dissimilar to pillows of the past that have become pancake-worthy within weeks.
What’s the price like?
Pricewise, these pillows come in at £38 for one, and £71.44 for two – so a nice little discount when you get the bundle. This is, admittedly, on the pricier side when it comes to pillows. All I can say is that a luxe feel like this seldom comes cheap, and they’re definitely on the lower end of the price spectrum for top-notch quality pillows.
Plus, can you really put a price on great sleep? I don’t think so…
And hundreds of shoppers agree, with 94% of reviewers (over 400!) calling the pillows a five-star buy and raving of how they’re ‘so so comfy’.
‘Amazing pillow!’ Raved one five-star reviewer. ‘For years I’ve looked for the perfect pillow, these are amazing! Highly recommend, they are soft but firm and keep their shape, I’ve no more neck and back pain in the morning’
‘I discovered these pillows at a hotel stay and quickly found out where to order them from. I now have that dreamy comfort in a pillow at home that I’ve been searching for, for ages!!! I love them.’ Wrote a second.
Another added: ‘So comfy Surprisingly light but very supportive without allowing the weight of your head to flatten it too much. It doesn’t retain heat too much either. Very satisfied.’
And the duvet?
What an absolute treat. Now, while this won’t be replacing my coverless duvet, it’s now my go-to in the guest bedroom which I use almost daily for naps.
The Fine Bedding Co Spundown Duvet – Double, Summer (4.5 Tog)
Cosy yet lightweight, this Spundown Duvet boasts advanced Smartfil fibres, making it compressible and perfectly squidgy. Similarly to the coverless duvet, this duvet fits effortlessly into your washing machine for quick and easy cleaning.
The Spundown Duvet, like the pillows, boast advanced Smartfil fibres, making it compressible and perfectly squidgy. Similarly to the coverless duvet, this duvet fits effortlessly into your washing machine for quick and easy refreshing.
These innovative fibres swiftly recover, ensuring the duvet returns to its original plump shape after each wash. It’s also ideal for allergy sufferers as it can be washed at 60°C, effectively eliminating dust mites and providing outstanding protection and freshness.
This duvet gives a quilted down duvet look and feel but with gorgeously cosy Smartfil fibres instead, which I love because you get that lovely puff, luxe look while staying just the right amount of cosy.
It’s puffy and cloud-like while still squashing down to washing machine size, which is another excellent feature in my opinion.
What more can I say? This is the ultimate bedtime setup for international sleep week and beyond. Snap them up today for sweet dreams from here on out.
