Rest is an important thing, and to sleep as soundly as possible, pillows of excellent quality are needed. The pillow is fundamental for good sleeping. For this reason, the manufacture of Fabe pillows comprises constant research, careful planning and great attention to design. For 60 years we have focused our attention exclusively on the production of Made in Italy pillows, crafted using the finest technology and high-performance materials.
Our products are devised, designed and made by hand in Italy: we use premium-quality raw materials and our pillows undergo quality testing in compliance with the highest international standards. Our headquarters at Calcio, in the province of Bergamo, is hallmarked by the sartorial traditions performed by our skilful and dedicated seamstresses who put the finishing touches on our pillows by hand, and by the most advanced expertise and technology dedicated to materials. Enabling you to sleep well has always been our objective.
