Buying the right pillow to suit your needs is fundamental to a good night’s sleep. However often it is treated as an afterthought by many people.
In order to help you choose, we’ve come up with this handy
Pillow Buying Guide which will help you make an informed decision and ultimately lead to a refreshing nights sleep..!
“Choosing a pillow is subjective and depends on each individual needs and with so much choice, buying a pillow can seem quite difficult. A pillow is used to support and cushion the sleepers head and the prime qualities to look for in a pillow is resilience. The wide range can make it difficult to choose so here are the keys you must know before you choose:”
Straight in at Number 5 is a “Comfy Pillow”. According to the BBC:
“Pillows now come with almost as much science as hair conditioner. And there are versions with in-built speakers to play sleep-inducing sounds such as a heart beat or soothing music.
This would not have impressed the Elizabethan writer, William Harrison, who attacked the young men of the 1580s for being so soft that they used pillows to help them sleep. In his day, real men slept on wooden logs or hairy sacks. Allergenic or non-allergenic sack, sir?”
Well I’m not sure about in built in speakers, but getting the right pillow is essential to a good nights sleep. That’s why at Milk and Honey, we offer a fantastic selection of pillows designed to suit everyone. Whether you like soft and shallow or plump and firm, we have it all.
All that pillow talk has made me sleepy….. night night everyone x

In decoration, it is all about enhancing and accessorising by reminding a touch of texture or colour: if you buy the
bourdon pillowcases do not forget to buy the flat sheet to remind the style and the colour on your bed so it looks finished or complete.

We like to recycle as much as possible that’s why we thought it was important to use natural fillings and casings for our duvets and pillows to offer a solution when the lifespan of our product is coming to an end.
As
Milk and Honey feathers or down bedding articles are 100% natural, and as feathers are an excellent flower fertilizer, your worn out Milk and Honey products can (believe it or not) be easily be buried in the garden, unlike synthetic pillows or duvets which will sadly end up as landfill.
Its always hard to let go of your favourite duvet or pillow, but at least this way you can pass on the Milk and Honey goodness and see the benefit year after year in your garden.
Why Milk and Honey? I wanted to add a little goodness to your life for your pleasure to sleep well and to live well. The idea grew from a dream since I was 16 years old to start my own business and it never left me ever since!
Being a Parisian and having a passion for textiles that runs in my family from mother to daughter and adoring interior design, modern art, photography (Robert Doisneau), poetry (Jacques Prevert) and most of all humankind, ( I would like to thank my Mum and Dad for all these gifts!) it felt natural to create my own label. I was inspired by my favourite artists and beautiful stories that touched me throughout my life.
My husband is blaming me for loving nice products (ok, luxury products!), after all I can still justify having spent €120 on a Prada keyring which is a timeless piece of beautiful perfection and craftsmanship. I love something “special” about anything or anyone, is that a bad thing?
This love for perfection and humankind made me develop this passion for quality over quantity. That’s how Milk and Honey was born. I wanted to create style and luxury in your home without the conscience so my philosophy would be to be a responsible business towards ethics, the environment and quality.
Milk & Honey offers gorgeous cotton satin bed linen with a smooth and velvety touch, fluffy cotton towels, naturally filled duvets and pillows, refined table linen and an adorable range for your little ones. All our goods are made from natural fibres and made within the European Union because as a company we pride ourselves in being responsible and caring for humankind, nature and quality. Milk & Honey have sourced exceptional raw materials for all our goods to ensure craftsmanship and perfection – something that is becoming less and less attainable in today’s global marketplace. But without my so supportive husband Matthew (I have been mad enough to start whilst just having had a little daughter!) and without all the belief and faith from all my family and friends, I would probably not be here right now…
I really really want you to start enjoying the finer things in life like I do – sharing is one of the best kept secrets to happiness…
Speak to you soon
