New year, same us – except with one major addition to our line up. After 15 years in the game, where our bold, vibrant signature prints have emblazoned everything from cushions, tablecloths, door mats, napkins and more, Bonnie and Neil is entering a new realm – sleepwear.
This isn’t just any sleepwear, this is everything you love from the brand neatly packaged into pyjama sets and robes designed to elevate your bedtime routine and celebrate slow mornings in luxurious style.
"We've always been passionate about creating beautiful textiles for the home and this collection felt like a natural extension of that. Our sleepwear is designed to bring both comfort and confidence, whether you're winding down for the night or embracing a slow morning."
Available in three rich colourways – Carmine Pink, Carmine Green and Carmine Burgundy – each lounge set and robe is crafted from 100% French Flax linen that is soft to touch and gets even better over time. We’re so proud of the final product and especially the timeless appeal of French Flax linen that will take you through all seasons with its wonderful breathability during summer and winter.
Since we’ve elevated our bedtime attire, we’ve also elevated our nighttime routine making space to wind down from busy days and gently ease into the day ahead feeling well rested – and yes, you better believe we’ll be slipping into our new Bonnie and Neil robe as soon as we wake up.
Dim the lights
You won’t catch us turning on a downlight after 6pm! We’re all about ambient lighting from turning on a lamp with the softest diffused light to lighting one of our Bonnie and Neil scented candles. It’s for good reason too – bright lights can affect melatonin production at night and we want to store as much as we can to ensure we quickly ease into la la land as soon as our head hits the pillow (or in our case our Cosmos green pillowcase set).
Say goodbye to your phone
While we do love a fun scroll on socials we’re making a conscious effort to minimise our screen time before bed. The ‘blue light’ that emanates from our digital companions can hinder sleep and throw our circadian rhythm off kilter by tricking it into believing its daytime – no thank you.
Dress for the occasion
While we could wear our Bonnie and Neil pyjamas and robe all day (weekends we’re looking at you), we’re very aware sleepwear is a nocturnal wearable! However, we have been making a habit to slip into our French Flax linen pyjamas shortly after dinner because they are so extremely comfortable and really do put the ‘lounge’ in loungewear – and really is there any better way to wind down after a busy day?
Pour yourself a cup of tea
We love the ritual of sipping herbal tea before bed (we always have a stash of peppermint tea ready to go in our Margot Cobalt ceramic canister). For us, there’s something about holding a warm mug that is super comforting and really feels like the ultimate wind down. Though it would be amiss of us to not confess, sometimes our night time cup of tea is best paired with the bittersweet taste of dark chocolate – a dynamite duo and even better end to the day.
Unmake your bed
One of the best parts of making the bed is unmaking the bed at the end of the day. So cosy! So lush! So comfortable! We’re currently making our bed in the morning with our new collection and especially loving the combination of our Flora green bed cover, with our Cornflower green euro pillowcases, Nile green cushion, Linear green cushion and Herb reserve khaki cushion. The ritual of taking all our cushions off the bed is the last step before we go to sleep.
