Older people still remember voluminous feather pillows. There were times when others simply did not exist. Therefore, no one really thought about their strengths and weaknesses. Technical progress and new technologies gave us pillows with synthetic fillers. Light and comfortable, they quickly gained popularity. No one else wanted to.
But priorities change quickly. Recently, many buyers again prefer natural artificial fillers. In view of this, the Valley of the Rambouilles have become incredibly popular. Reviews about them contain only positive product ratings. The same can be said about the blankets of this brand. On the websites of the manufacturer and distributors you can read comprehensive information about the benefits of products, the filler of which is sheep wool. It seems that humanity finally found a middle ground between the universal qualities of artificial materials and the healing properties of natural products.
But is it? What do people like pillows “Valley of Rambouilles”? Reviews about them tell a lot of useful information, in particular, how good they are in operation. Many respondents are sure that there are practically no flaws in pillows and blankets with the best sheep wool. Let's allow ourselves to doubt this and will conduct a detailed review of this product.
general information
Although the name of the product in question has an attractive French accent, pillows and blankets "Rambouillet" are made not in France, but in Russia. In the reviews of some buyers, this fact is particularly noted, affecting the relatively moderate cost of the goods. According to Estia representatives, the Valley of Ramboulet sleep accessories are made in cooperation with the Greek company Togas, world famous for its premium textiles. It is necessary to say that in the Tula region the Russian company Sonata has mastered the production of such goods under the name “Ramble”. In terms of quality, they are not inferior to foreign ones, and cost three times cheaper. Sonata cooperates with many distributors who sell its products, in particular, pillows and blankets. Their pillows “Ramboule” can be purchased at a price of 630 rubles, and blankets from 900 rubles. Many buyers do not attach importance to the small difference in the name of pillows and blankets, because the filler in them is the same, and hence the useful properties are the same.
Title history
Marketers are well aware that a reasonable design of the goods largely affects the attraction of buyers to it. Not the last role here plays the name. This fully applies to the pillows "Valley Rambouillet." Reviews of them are good, of course, due to the high quality. But the sonorous name also gradually acts on the subconscious of buyers, causing them to sympathize with the product.
For many of us, the words “Valley of Rambouillet” in the imagination of France gives rise to the sun-drenched valley of Rambouillet. Connection of pillows with this terrain really is. It was in the castle of Rambouillet in the 18th century that a breed of fine-wool merino sheep famous for its wool was bred. It is extremely thin and delicate, since the diameter of each hair is only 15-25 microns. For its products, the company uses raw materials from merino sheep, which may be descendants of those that were bred in France. Based on this, some distributors present Rambouillet wool products as French.
Design
Manufacturers have thought through every little thing so that their products evoke only pleasant emotions among buyers. So, in response to respondents, the Rambulha Valley cushions report that they are packaged in a convenient PVC suitcase with a handle that fastens with a zipper.
The material of the case is tight, but transparent. Through it you can clearly see what is inside. The product is equipped with a bright label on which there is a lot of useful information, in particular, the manufacturer, the size of the pillow, from which it is made. True, the information is given in English. Pillow cover made of cotton fabric (satin). It is stitched throughout the area. In addition, images of sheep are applied to the material and the cover is also fastened with a "zipper". The same packaging design and appearance have the “Valley of Rambouillet” blankets. On products there is a sewing label containing information on proper care (washing, dry cleaning, drying).
Specifications pillows
Buyers report that the outer material of the pillows is extraordinarily pleasant to the skin, delicate, soft, non-irritating. But the most valuable is what is inside the pillows "Valley Ramboule". In the responses, absolutely all respondents write about it. Indeed, this filler is present in them, and with it the polyester siliconized fiber.
It is added so that the pillow keeps its shape better and is less forced under the weight of the head of the sleeper. Pillows are available in two forms:
- Rectangular (50x70).
- Square (70x70).
Sizes affect their price. The remaining characteristics of these products are identical. In the reviews, it is noted that the pillows are very light, provide a comfortable restful sleep.

- 172x205;

The cover of these blankets is satin, its color is beige. As a filler is used wool of merino sheep (30%) and (70%). According to customers, this item for sleep is very warm and light (weight is 320 grams per 1 m 2).
Beneficial features
"Valley of Rambouillet" - pillows made of sheep wool, reviews of which tell that the quality of this accessory for sleep is beyond praise. The same rave reviews about blankets. Sheep wool has the following beneficial qualities:
- Hygroscopicity (absorbs moisture, which prevents sweating).
- Ability to keep warm well.
- Breathability (easy to dry).
In addition, sheep wool for some time after processing still contains natural wax lanolin. When the pillow (blanket) from the human body is heated, lanolin is absorbed by the skin, which has a beneficial effect on the entire body with some therapeutic effect.

Hello!
I think that everyone who visits the Lenta hypermarket is aware that there is an action currently taking place, the essence of which is as follows:
When you buy any goods you get chips and having collected the required amount, you can buy a choice of 60% discount: bed linen of the Estia trademark
or various bedding.
Dates of the action:
The size: Double
Price: 4499 rub.
Price without discount: 8999 rub.
Production: Russia
Composition: 100% cotton, satin
The manufacturer's bed sets are available in different colors, but they are all very pleasant and pastel shades. There is four sizes:
One and half
The set is packed in a cardboard box with a transparent window that allows you to evaluate the colors before the purchase. Bedding tightly closed , which is good news, it's still nice to know that no one except the bed hand touched me. You can touch the quality of the material and “touch” the bedding in the store, there is an exhibition sample.
The box has a small sticker with all the necessary information about the composition, bed size and manufacturer.
My double set includes: duvet cover - 175 x 200 cm, bed sheet 230 x 250 cm, pillowcase 50 x 70 (2 pcs.), Pillowcases 70 x 70 (2 pcs.) - what the kit has two types of pillowcases
For me this is a plus, since I prefer to sleep on a small pillow, and my husband on a big one.
Just want to note that the bed is very high quality. All seams are smooth and treated conscientiously; they are not bulging anywhere.
The drawing on the bed is applied evenly, it is clear, not smeared anywhere. The flower print looks very laconic and fits any interior. The pattern does not look blurry, it is very gentle: it does not catch the eye and does not bother.
And the duvet cover on one side and the pillowcases in the set are colored, and the sheet is monotonous.
The linen is very dense although my green pillows shine through it, but at the same time it is smooth and soft, thanks to the satin in the composition. And after the first wash at 40 bed it became even more pleasant and tender.
Ironed
it is simple enough even without a steam mode.
After the next washings already at 60, the kit did not shed, did not deform or lose appearance. Washed the usual children's powder and used air conditioning.
The duvet cover went perfectly on the blanket; it is very convenient that it is fastened with a zipper. The sheet is nowhere sticking up and perfectly tucked into the sides of the bed.
Small pillowcases are trimmed on three sides in the form of stitching, and large ones cover the pillow as standard in the lap.
Sleeping in such a bed is very comfortable.
it is very pleasant tactile, it does not prick and "breathes", while it is not slippery and warm. This kit is perfect as a gift!
Therefore, if you visit the Lenta hypermarket and you have accumulated stickers, then I recommend that you purchase this magnificent high-quality bedding that will last you for a very long time!

| Retail price (according to information from the Ribbon booklet) | 8 999 | 1 799 | 4 599 | 3 399 |
| Actual discount | 8 999 – 4 999 = 4 000 | 1 799 – 799 = 1 000 | 4 599 – 1 999 = 2 600 | 3 399 – 1 699 = 1 700 |
| Promised Discount for Buyer | 4 999/8 999 = 55,55% | 799/1 799 = 44,41% | 1 999/4 599 = 43,47% | 1 699/3 399 = 49,99% |
| Actual cost for buyer | (4 999+4 500)/8 999 = 105,55% | (799+1 500)/ 1 799 = 127,79% | (1 999+3 000)/4 599 = 108,7% | (1 699 + 2 100)/3 399 = 111,77% |
