The Fine Bedding Company Boutique Silk Review
AD – This post is written in collaboration with The Fine Bedding Company and their Boutique Silk range.
It is that time of year when people are thinking about perhaps putting away their winter duvet and getting out something a bit lighter. While you should replace your pillows every 1 to 2 years.
If you are one of those people wondering if now is the right time to replace your duvet and pillows let me introduce you to The Fine Bedding Company.
The Fine Bedding Company
Having a history of over 100 years, The Fine Bedding Company began life as a small family business supplying cruise liners and ships. Today they are a fourth generation business based in the UK. They now supply both luxury hotels and the public. With names such as; International Continental- O2 London, St Michael’s Manor and Fontevraud L’Hotel listed under their clientele.
When it comes to the products themselves, they are made in a facility in Estonia. This state of the art factory is purpose built and gives the company complete control over their products.
What’s more, they have worked hard to create bedding that is different. For instance, they were first to produce a home washable duvet that fits in a home washing machine (7kg). Allowing you to home wash your duvet at up to 60°C up to 20 times, without compromising the structure.
The bedding itself is also made from a range of innovative fibres such as Smartfil and Smartdown.
The Fine Bedding Company Boutique Silk Range
Now before I go on any further with this review I should probably mention something. The Fine Bedding Company isn’t new to me, we actually already have one of their duvets, the “Breathe Duvet” on our bed alongside a pair of their pillows.
As such, I knew a little about the company and knew that I would likely be impressed with the items I received. So I was really excited to try the Boutique Silk range and see what I thought.
Boutique Silk Duvet
The Boutique Silk duvet is available in three different warmth options; summer (4.5 tog) spring/autumn (10.5 tog) and winter (13.5 tog). I will be 100% honest and say we never use anything more than a 10.5 tog, both Ash and I run warm. As such for us, it made sense to go for a 4.5 tog.
It also comes in a choice of 4 sizes; single, double, king and super king.
If you are wondering why the name Boutique Silk, well the filling is made from 90% Smartfil microfibre and 10% pure silk. While the outer cover is made from sustainably sourced cotton. While this is of course a duvet that can be put in the washing machine on a 60 wash.
My Thoughts on the Boutique Silk Duvet
My first impression of the duvet was how light it was. Of course, compared to a 10.5 tog a 4.5 is going to be lighter. However, especially when under it, it really gives a light covering that is perfect for warmer months.
The duvet itself is incredibly soft to the touch and feels quite fluffy. I would assume this is because of the Smartfil filling, as personally, I would expect a duvet with a higher content of silk than this to be flatter. However, for me, this works as I like the more fluffy feel.
I think over the summer this is going to make for a great duvet. Offering something light to snuggle under.
The Boutique Silk Duvet costs between £58 and £143.50.
Boutique Silk Pillows
Much like the duvet, the pillow contains a mix of 90% Smartfil and 10% silk, covered in a sustainably sourced cotton cover. Once again they can be machine washed, this time at 40 degrees and of course tumble dried.
The pillows themselves are medium / firm and wonderfully plump.
My Thoughts on the Boutique Silk Pillows
These pillows are wonderfully filled and you just sink into them. However, I’m used to using a firmer pillow, so they are a little softer than I would normally go for. That said, I am sure I could get used to it as they do support the head and neck.
While you do sink into them, I don’t feel like they are making me warm. This could be down to the Smartfil as this does allow for airflow.
For the price of the pillows £33 each, I feel like these offer good value for money.
Overall Thoughts
As someone who has been using The Fine Bedding Company for a while now, I knew I already liked their products. Trying out this set from a different range, has given me the chance to see that other options from their range are well worth trying as well.
While I obviously cannot speak about the longevity of these products, I have found the duvet and pillows we had been using lasted well, with the ability to wash and dry them at home only helping to add to that.
As such if you are looking to buy a new pillow or duvet I would definitely suggest checking out The Fine Bedding Company.
What do you think of the sound of these items, would you like to try them?

The one I have in this post is lovely really light weight and perfect for the warmer months.
I haven’t used the fine bedding company before but I will be checking them out. I am in need of a summer duvet and the boutique silk duvet 4.5 tog sounds like it would be perfect.
It is a lovely duvet – very light and perfect for this time of year.
How fab that that these products are made in Estonia. That is as much of a draw to me as the superb quality. It’s hard to beat really nice bedding like this for a good nght’s sleep.
Definitely I think having a good quality piece of bedding can make all the difference.
I have hair loss after chemo and have heard great reviews of silk bedding from my cancer buddies
You could look into some silk pillowcases perhaps I’ve heard that is meant to be so kind to skin.
I run warm too and prefer a firm pillow, are we twins?! 😀 Interesting review, it’s good to hear what you think as we have similar preferences. I love the fact they can be washed in a standard machine too, so useful.
Definitely, I always think having something that is machine washable is such a great thing, as you can keep them clean!
This looks so comfy thank you for your honest review!
You are welcome – I am so glad people enjoy reading them!

They are a great brand and well worth trying if you need new bedding.
Many sleeping issues can be easily solved with good quality bedding. It can be an investment.
Definitely making sure you have good bedding is an absolute must.
This bedding looks really comfortable and superb quality
It is really good quality – the ones that have been on our bed for a while now really stood up to the test of time.
I’ve not used them before but going to check them out now.
Well worth checking out they have such a lovely range.
Sounds like an amazing range, I really need a new duvet too!
Ohh go on and treat yourself, they are such good quality for the price!
My bed is my favourite place! So I definitely love some luxury on it. These look really lovely and very cosy!
It is somewhere you just have to have things that are cosy and comfortable for you aren’t they.
Great review but after reading about weighted blankets for Fibromyalgia sufferers I think there must be another dimension to the topic of bedding.
I have a weighted blanket and I’ve very torn on it. On one side it helps ease my anxiety a bit, however on the other, it sets off my anxiety as I have found myself trapped under it before when my fatigue got so bad. Plus when my pain levels are high it aggravates pain levels. So these days I can only put it on my legs on good days which doesn’t give much help. I have heard they work well for others.
I’m loving the sound of the silk pillows as I have a really sensitive scalp after losing my hair
Oh no I am so sorry. There is some great silk pillowcases out there on the market, in fact, I’m sure The Fine Bedding Company sell some as well.
Oh I so need new bedding , and this looks proper luxurious
It is so lovely – such a great company for bedding.
There is something both comforting AND comfortable about fine bedding
Oh definitely – they offer such a wide range it is perfect.
This sounds so luxurious, I will have a look at their website as I would love bedding like this
They have some really lovely bedding items, I have to admit I’ve been impressed by the items we have.
Like the look of this bedding and sounds like great quality.
I’ve not found a bad thing to say about them yet that’s for sure.
You have to be comfy at night 🥰
Most definitely it makes all the difference being cosy doesn’t it?
