When it comes to watching TV or relaxing on the sofa, a cosy bolster pillow quickly becomes a favourite companion. Our feather-filled bolster pillows – often called neck pillows – are not only useful in front of the television, they can also be a comfortable option for sleeping or napping. Their cylindrical shape helps to support the neck in a natural position, which is exactly what these pillows are designed for. If you are missing this type of support at home, you are in the right place. We offer several sizes, with 15Ø x 40 cm being the traditional choice. Matching removable covers are also available for this size in our store.
We also sell other sizes, for example a 5 cm shorter version (15Ø x 35 cm). For some special sizes we do not offer ready-made covers and cannot produce custom covers. If you are looking for a size that is not listed, feel free to contact us and we will do our best to help you find a suitable solution.
Bolster pillows can do much more than support you during sleep. Many of our customers use them as a practical aid at work, especially massage therapists, who place them under the client’s ankles, knees or neck. In this role, the pillow provides stable, comfortable support and can make time on the treatment table more pleasant. Others take their bolster pillow into the car to support the lower back on long drives. Lack of proper support can make long journeys tiring, and a small, firm pillow can help you maintain a more natural sitting position.
A bolster pillow can also be a useful accessory at the office. If you spend hours sitting in front of a computer, placing the pillow behind your lower back or under your knees can provide extra comfort. The cylindrical shape makes it easy to position exactly where you need a little more support. Because it is compact and easy to move, you can quickly switch between different positions while you work, read or relax.
The functional role of the bolster pillow is therefore very versatile. It can support the neck while you lie on the sofa, provide a comfortable base under your knees while you read in bed, or act as a simple prop during stretching and gentle home exercises. Many people also like to place it under their ankles to slightly raise the legs when resting. It is worth trying different uses to discover which position feels most comfortable for you.
When making our bolster pillows, we fill each one with an amount of feather similar to that used in a standard small pillow. This generally provides a pleasantly firm feel that many customers appreciate. For those who mainly use the bolster as a neck pillow, it may seem quite firm at first. However, with use the filling gradually adapts to the shape of your neck and head, becoming more personalised over time.
We do not claim that a bolster pillow is an anatomical or medical product. Its strength lies in its ability to follow the natural curves of the body and provide simple, adaptable support in everyday situations. Thanks to the feather filling, it can be gently shaped by hand, so you can push more filling where you need extra firmness or flatten it where you prefer a softer feel.
A well-chosen bolster pillow can become a reliable companion during sleep, work and relaxation. Whether you are reading in bed, watching TV on the sofa, working at a desk or travelling by car, this compact pillow can add a little extra comfort to your daily routine. Explore the different sizes available and choose the one that best suits your habits and the way you like to rest. If you are unsure which size would be most practical for you, you can compare the listed dimensions with your current pillows or contact customer service for guidance on typical uses for each size.
Because bolster pillows are easy to move and reposition, they are also ideal for households where several people share the same pillow for different purposes. One person may use it mainly as a neck pillow, another as a leg support, while a third prefers it behind the back. Over time, the pillow will naturally adapt to these uses, giving it a unique, well-loved character. With the right care and occasional shaking to redistribute the filling, a quality feather-filled bolster pillow can provide long-lasting comfort in many areas of everyday life.
