The Essence of Millet Pillow: An Exceptional Pillow

According to Vincent, the secret of Millet Pillow lies in its internal content. The company stands out by using exclusively millet husks for the filling. Unlike spelt or buckwheat husks, which are bulkier and stiffer, millet husks, measuring about 0.15 cm, are flexible and malleable due to their hollow structure.

This characteristic provides a softness sensation close to that of down-filled pillows. Assia and Vincent favor an eco-responsible approach: all the resources used come from European regions such as France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

The Benefits of Millet Husks

Millet husks have multiple advantages. They are naturally resistant to mites, ensure optimal aeration, and thermal regulation of the pillow.

Another benefit is their sound discretion during nocturnal movements. Assia explains that when you move your head, the filling adjusts to maintain the alignment of the neck and the spine. Millet is also a valuable ally for summer nights.

Recognition and Awards

In May 2022, their dedication and innovation were recognized. Assia and Vincent received the Linkube Award during the 35th edition of the Economic Prize for businesses in Namur, as well as the Feelgood Award.

Committed Manufacturing

The choice of Assia and Vincent to collaborate with a sheltered workshop testifies to their social commitment. This company employs people who have encountered professional obstacles following an accident or were born with a disability.

Towards New Horizons

These two entrepreneurs plan to expand their collection of millet-based pillows. Assia shares their ambitions with an innovative travel pillow suited for journeys and pillow projects to support the sleep of pregnant women. With the expansion of their range, "Garnillet" will become the new brand identity.
