Pillow bolsters and luxury cushions through the ages

In Ancient Egypt, cushions resembled small pieces of furniture rather than the plush versions we know today. For those of us who spend half the night adjusting our bedding to achieve the ideal sleeping position, it’s hard to believe that softness was not always a priority. In various regions of ancient Africa, Asia and Oceania, cushions for sleeping were much firmer than the cushioned ones we depend on for restful sleep nowadays. Some of these early forms, dating back to the Third Dynasty (around 2707-2369 B.C.E.), resembled child-sized stools with a curved piece resting atop a pillar. These stands were designed to support the neck rather than the head, likely to protect the intricate hairstyles that were fashionable at the time.

Thankfully today we have far greater comfort, design and appearance in mind. Here at Boeboes you can have the soft and supportive pillow bolster or cushion of your dreams made by us and delivered to your home in 7-10 working days from your order.

Sleep hygiene for a good night’s sleep

The Sleep Charity provides definitive advice for enhancing sleep health, focusing on quality, quantity, timing, and regularity of sleep. They have developed a straightforward best practice guide to help achieve a healthy night's sleep. Simple routine changes over 24 hours can significantly improve overall well-being. Here’s a little summary to help you doze off to the Land of Nod (along with your comfortable, stylish Boeboes pillow bolster of course)…

Morning: keep to a regular sleep/wake schedule; get outside into natural light.

Day: exercise; avoid stimulants containing caffeine at least 8 hours before bedtime.

Evening: don’t go to bed full, hungry or thirsty; avoid alcohol; reduce/avoid electronic devices before bedtime or in the bedroom.

Night: avoid nicotine; have a cool, dark, quiet bedroom; and make any bedroom clocks invisible!
