Handcrafted by Haute Literie© artisans, it is an elegant, top-of-the-range item that will perfectly enhance your cushions and pillows, making your bed a sublime cocoon for your dreams.

These consist of forest plantations in Bourgogne Franche-Comté, in which Maison Dumas employees participate.

Synthetic bolsters

What role does a bolster play in a bed?

The bolster can be used as a pillow substitute, offering ergonomic sleep by adapting to your sleeping preferences, whether you prefer the back or the side. But it can also be used to elevate pillows, providing welcome support for people looking for high pillows and for tall people. What's more, it can be used therapeutically, supporting the back or knees, relieving back pain and discomfort. Positioned at the feet, it even encourages blood circulation by raising the legs. This nocturnal companion, combining personalised comfort and therapeutic benefits, transforms nights into a truly regenerating experience of well-being.

Why choose a synthetic bolster?

When it comes to choosing a filling for Dumas Paris bolsters, there are two main categories: natural, with comfort options depending on the feathers and down used, and synthetic, using fibres or microfibre. Dumas Paris down bolsters are distinguished by their airy filling, which provides a soft welcome and a feeling of lightness. However, Dumas Paris synthetic bolsters, filled with microfibre, offer equally attractive benefits. They offer dynamic comfort, increased suppleness and an elastic welcome, making them firm bolsters. What's more, these synthetic bolsters stand out for their enhanced hypoallergenicity, providing an ideal solution for allergy sufferers.

How do I choose the right size bolster?

When it comes to choosing the right size of synthetic bolster, there are several situations to consider. In the case of couples with differing comfort preferences, the best option is to choose two 90° bolsters, allowing each person to choose the bolster that best suits their needs. Otherwise, the size of the bolster should be identical and slightly smaller than the width of the mattress. As an example, Maison Dumas recommends a 140 bolster for a 140 cm wide bed. For a King Size bed, the ideal options would be 160 or 180 bolsters. In conclusion, the dimensions of the synthetic bolster are mainly influenced by the width of the mattress, but they can also vary according to individual sleeping habits and feelings.

How do you wash and care for your synthetic bolster?

We strongly recommend that you wash your synthetic bolster once a year. Use a machine with a large-capacity drum, at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Tumble dry on a gentle cycle until all traces of moisture have been removed. By following these meticulous steps, you'll ensure your bolster stays as fresh and long-lasting as possible. In addition, maintain your bolster every day by patting it vigorously, preferably in the morning after waking up. This will allow it to regain its plumpness, put under pressure during the night. To minimise the presence of dust mites, encourage thermal shock by exposing the bolster to the summer sun or by airing the bedroom frequently during periods of low winter temperatures.
