Smells like
Lavender, but the soft kind that grows wild in a summer garden — warm and quiet, never sharp. Frankincense sits beneath it, woody and grounding. Chamomile lifts through, gentle and tea-warm. The kind of scent that makes the room feel a little quieter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can pillow sprays actually help sleep?
Pillow sprays don't put you to sleep — but the right scents help signal to your brain that the day is over. Sleepy Head pairs lavender (long-used for relaxation), chamomile (calming and gentle), and frankincense (grounding) into a ritual cue that tells your body it's time to wind down. Used as part of an evening routine, it's a small habit that consistently shows up in our customer reviews.
How do I use a pillow spray?
3 spritzes onto your pillow and bedding, 5-10 minutes before getting into bed. Hold the bottle about 15-20cm away so it mists evenly. Make it part of a wind-down routine — alongside dimming the lights, putting your phone away, or a chamomile tea — so your brain starts associating the scent with sleep.
Can I use it if I feel stressed or anxious?
Many customers tell us they reach for Sleepy Head beyond just bedtime — before meditation, during journaling, on travel days, before big events, or any time they want a calming sensory reset. The scent itself doesn't treat stress, but creating a consistent ritual around it can help shift state.
How long does the scent last?
Sleepy Head's scent lingers gently on your pillow for several hours — strong enough to notice as you drift off, soft enough not to overwhelm. Most customers find the scent fades naturally by morning. One bottle (50ml) typically lasts 2-3 months with nightly use.
Can children use it?
Sleepy Head is gently formulated and used by many parents to create calming bedtime routines for older children. For babies under 2 years old, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before introducing any aromatherapy product.
What makes this different from typical pillow sprays?
Most high-street pillow sprays are alcohol-based with synthetic fragrance — which means a sharper, more chemical scent that can dry out fabrics with little to no real sleep benefits. Sleepy Head is made with spring water and floral waters as the base, with real essential oils (lavender, frankincense) for scent. No synthetic fragrance, no alcohol, no parabens. It's why our spray feels and smells different — softer, deeper, and more genuinely calming.
There is no warehouse. That is rather the point, and it does have consequences.
Every brand here packs and posts its own orders, in its own boxes, with tracked delivery. The brands you can see are the ones that ship to your country, so your parcel is usually making a fairly short journey: a potter in Bristol posting to Britain, a studio in California posting within America.
Which does mean that an order from three brands arrives as three parcels, posted by three different people, on three different days. Whether that is an inconvenience or a small extended birthday rather depends on your temperament. It also means three lots of postage, shown before you pay, because we would rather mention it here than at the till.
Roughly how long
UK Domestic: 2–5 business days
Coming from further afield: 7–14 days. Usually quicker, but let's not prmise and it will be a lovely surprise!
Estimates, not promises. Each brand sends its own tracking, so you will be kept extremely well
Need help? Just ask.Our small team is here.
Fourteen days from delivery to tell us you have changed your mind, and fourteen more to get it back to us. No reason required, and we will not make you give one.
You are allowed to open it and try it on. Handle it as you would in a shop, and we will not quibble. Handle it as you would a rental car and we may deduct something for the difference.
Return postage is yours to pay, because the brand at the other end is a workshop rather than a warehouse. Some cover it themselves, and if yours does you will not be charged. Whatever you paid us to send it out, we refund either way, and the money goes back the way it came within fourteen days of the parcel reaching the brand.
A few things cannot come back, and only these: anything made or personalised to your order, sealed beauty products once the seal is broken, and anything perishable.
If something arrives damaged, faulty or not as described, none of the above applies. It costs you nothing, and we sort it.
Just email mail@brixbailey.com — we'll guide you through it.
