Arlee Micro Plush Bedrest Lounger

Arlee Micro Plush Bedrest Lounger, Rich BlackI was surprised when I received this at how sturdy this bedrest was. It hold its form very well and is comfortable to use while sitting in bed.

Sorry but it is not comfortable. Probably my fault as I like to read in bed and this doesn't hit my lower back. Back to pillows I can manipulate. One good thing, the color red is great.

Computer Lap Desk With Padded Wrist Rest (Black) (19" x 14.75" x 3.75")

Computer Lap Desk With Padded Wrist RestThe wrist rest is comfortable, and the non-skid surface is nice and practical. However, the table itself is made out of flimsy plastic, so it bends easily. It bends up "into" the computer, allowing it to become too hot.

I had to buy extra tall legs for my laptop to stand it up higher so it could breathe.

Otherwise, it is very comfortable and worth the money.

pure crap. not enough stuffing. padding on top came loose. seams busted within one month of purchasing and spilled billions of tiny white beads all over the floor. arghhhhh!!!!

It conformed so much that the top of the table kept hitting my knees and I was constantly readjusting it. The buttons that supposed to hold the stuffing came loose and one of the seams came apart after 3 months and the stuffing spilled all over the floor. Wrist rest did not come with enough stuffing. After 3 months it's in the trash and I am looking for another one.

After a week, the cushy bean bag pillow really started to flatten out. The heat from my lap top warped the gray foam and the black plastic warped not too soon after. After only a month or two of using this, the seams started to stretch and the beads that I once thought were so nice started coming out. I tossed it out a few days ago and I am STILL finding mini styrofoam beads around my living room. I'm never again purchasing a lap desk with a microbead base.

I purchased a plastic lap desk at Barnes & Noble, and it warped from the heat of the laptop. This is essentially the same piece of plastic with an extra foam pad on the top (possibly to prevent warping) and a wrist rest. So far it hasn't warped. The wrist pad could be a little thicker.

Wilton Timeless Wedding Day Collection Ring Bearer Pillow

Wilton Timeless Wedding Day Collection Ring Bearer PillowThe pillow is very cute, kind of small, but will work well with a young child.

However, I am extremely disappointed in the fact that the picture is very misleading. I was looking for a silver pillow to match our wedding colors, and this one looked to fit the bill, even after zooming in on the provided picture. Once received, it is a stark white pillow. No where on the page does it say anything about color, so I was going by the picture. Do not make this mistake.

But, if you want a small, very white, ring pillow, this will work well. It is very nice quality.

Pem America My Pony Quilt Set

Pem America, My Pony Collection, Twin 2-Piece Quilt Set, PinkI love this quilt. It's for my 6yr old daughter that's crazy for horses. It not too old nor too young for her. It's very colorful and will be easy to match any paint to it. The only thing I didn't like was the thickness. It's very thin but I think most quilts are. We have to use two blankets in the winter. Other than that, I think it's a great buy.

It came very quickly from Amazon and was a lot less expensive than ordering directly from the company. It looks really nice perfect my horse-loving daughter's room. However, it did have a couple of places that needed a few stitches to fix the seam. I did not expect that since it was brand new.

I ordered two of these sets for my 3 year old twin daughters new beds, and I absolutely love them. The girls love them too. One girl loves Blue, and the other pink, so I bought sheets, and both match this set. I also painted the walls a pale green, so it all comes together very well.

The colors are bright, and the Twin quilt is big yet fits perfectly, and the sham fits a standard pillow, and is just adorable. For the price, I say you can't beat it! I have had it for about a month, now, and its great. The underneath of the quilt is a bright solid Pink.

Very happy with my purchase!

This quilt arrived very quickly and was well packaged. The quilt is not a hotel quality fine-thread quilt, but it is definitely good enough for a child's room. The colors are more vibrant in person than they appeared onscreen.

LexMod Assorted 14" Outdoor Patio All Weather Pillows in Orange

LexMod Assorted 14' Outdoor Patio All Weather Pillows in OrangeWhile the fabric of this pillow is good quality, and I like the fact that it has a zipper for easy laundering, the picture (and even description says "pillows") shows 2 pillows and I only received one! I had a feeling that may happen, but I thought that possibly with a picture of 2 pillows that I may receive 2 pillows. This would have been ok, but I really feel that for the price it should have been 2 pillows, as well as feature only a picture of 1 pillow if that is what they intend to sell!

Lewis N. Clark Inflatable Travel Neckrest

Lewis N. Clark  Inflatable Travel Neckrest,Blue,One SizeIt's like blowing up a balloon, only there's no way to pinch off the flow, so it just blows right out. Too bad, because the removable cover is neat! Oh, and the description says its weight is 2 pounds. Uhn uhn, try 3.5 ounces.

I bought this pillow for backpacking around Asia. I wanted something comfortable that I could use on planes, trains, busses etc. but then quickly deflate and toss into my backpack. This is exactly that. Although it is not a comfortable as the squishy ones, it has a soft removable cover that is nearly as good. In fact I prefer this because then it is washable.

The picture looks like it's OK. The cover material is nice.

But, as others said, it's VERY hard to inflate fully.

The back of the neck, where I need it, is not supportive as

most of the air stays in the side spaces. NOT worth it !

Want Lewis N. Clark Inflatable Travel Neckrest Discount?

I didn't know how great my old inflatable neck pillow was until I lost it and replaced it with one of those clunky ones from the airport what a pain!

Unfortunately, this one is barely functional it's too small (and I have a very small neck)doesn't support your head and doesn't have the special valve, so it deflates before you can get the plug in.

Keep looking for another brand...

Khaki Velvet Quilt

Khaki Velvet Queen QuiltThe comforter is of high quality and the perfect weight for all seasons. The color is a rich neutral color. I had been looking for a well made cotton comforter (other than white) that could be machine washed. Since I have pets which also love a comfy bed, I needed something that could be cleaned more regularly than I am willing to pay for dry cleaning. A friend saw the comforter and also fell in love with it and will be ordering one. The price was extraordinary (as i assume this a discontinued item). I have not been able to find anything of this quality as well as to my liking in comforters that cost significantly more.

The quilt is very soft and the color is great. My only criticism is that it was a little short on a high cast iron bedprobably partly my fault since I did not measure it. The bed is queen sized but I wish I had ordered a king quilt. Decided to use it on a full sized bed instead and it's a perfect fit.

Inflatable Lumbar Support Back Pillow

Inflatable Lumbar Support Back Pillowthis is a product that is what u want it to be with one exception: When u inflate it, there is no way to stop the air from escaping before u get the plug in. As a result it can never be completely inflated.

Aside from that, it's a solid product.

Better Than Down Standard Pillows, Set of 2

Better Than Down Standard Pillows, Set of 2My husband and I just love these pillows. I did some research and thought these got the best review, and they have not disappointed. My husband keep saying he sleeps like a baby now. He likes more flat, not too flat, and I like fluffy and neck support. He sleeps on back and belly mostly and me on my sides. I was worried to get us the same, but gave it a shot. They must be perfectly in between because we both love them! Very fast shipping too! So glad I got 4!

I am a dude. I saw these and bought them. I like them. They wash easy and fluff dry easy. They are comfy. My parents love them. They are not authentic down so not allergies. I would suggest you just go pick them up at Brookstone. They are 29.99 at Brookstone. Total is 33 bucks.

These pillows rock. I've had them 6 months and they are just as fluffy and comfortable as the day i bought them.

Read Best Reviews of Better Than Down Standard Pillows, Set of 2 Here

My question after having read the other reviews was exactly how soft these pillows were, and how similar to down or polyester they were. Now that I have them, I can answer this question: they are sort of like both, but they are in a class of their own. My criticism of down pillows is that although they are quite fluffy, my head "bottoms out" after I have slept on them for a few minutes, and I no longer get support from them. My criticism with polyester pillows is that they seem a little hard.

My assessment of these "Better Than Down" pillows is that they are luxury quality items for sale at an amazing price. They are filled with polyester microfiber. Even the fabric that holds the pillow together is a high-quality ultra suede material.

Let me tell you my story for a little bit. I have a long-standing history of spinal problems that started when I was 18 years old. When I was young, I seemed to require firm bedding, and I would get tremendous backaches if I did not get the support I needed. Now that I am middle-aged, my back is aching more, and the firm bedding that I bought when I was younger results in broken up light sleep. I have pain when I sleep, and when I wake up I am so stiff that I can hardly move.

I bought two packages of these "Better Than Down", and just simply piled them in a mountain on my bed. When I go to sleep, I arrange them so that they support me from my hips to my head, and then I lay back into a luxurious billowy cloud. Although these pillows are soft, very soft, they do not let me down so that I am in contact with the bedding underneath. Since I got them, I have been sleeping better and waking up limber. I could not ask for more.

Into the future-will these pillows hold up over time? If they do degrade in quality, you can wash them. The instructions on the tags say to machine wash warm-delicate cycle. No bleach. Tumble dry low. Mild detergent. Remove periodically to fluff. When I lived in New England, this is how I cared for my down jacket, it is sort of a pain to nurse it through the wash cycle, but you don't have to do it too often.

Want Better Than Down Standard Pillows, Set of 2 Discount?

First, I like the idea of the pillow. But, after 2 nights sleep I wish I would have just sent them back. They are uncomfortable (they raise my head more than my down pillow did so I wake up with a stiff neck) and hot (the microfiber does not breathe like a down pillow).

I'm stuck with them now, but if you don't like lofty pillows or a "hot head" at night, this one is not for you.

1st Class Sleeper

1st Class Sleeper
  • Comfortable - Like having your own adjustable firmness air bed in the sky. Use as a lumbar support
  • Easy to use - Inflates with just a few breaths and fits easily into any coach, business class or
  • Hygienic - When do you think was the last time those airline pillow cases were cleaned
  • Tough - Built from all new heavy gauge virgin vinyl - the same material used in water beds
  • Compact - Rolls up into a small package and weighs just a little more than a pound - about the same

I saw a review of this product in the Dallas Morning News; a guy was evaluating all the sleeping pillows for sleeping sitting up on the airplane, something that can give anyone a headache or neckache or backache, especially in those little coach seats!

He recommended this pillow above all the others, so I gave it a try. It is great! It provides a cushion for your lumbar and for your head, and stretches you out more in a sleeping position. It is compact, rolls up into a little duffel bag about the size of an umbrella bag, slightly bulkier, but easily carried on with your carry-on luggage.

Ralph Lauren Winter Garden Lace Standard Pillowcases, Cream

Ralph Lauren Winter Garden Lace Standard Pillowcases, CreamI had previously purchased the matching flat sheet for these pillow cases and finally found the pillow cases on Amazon.com. Beautiully made with sturdy & tightly woven beige cotton. The lace is gorgeous...reminds me of the old French insertion lace you used to be able to buy quite readily in the 60's. They wash well, but really require ironing to look their best, or at least that's my choice. The ironing brings the lace out and smooths the cotton fibres down...gorgeous set of cases! I love Ralph Lauren sheets and have several sets that I can use interchangeably.

YogaAccessories (TM) Silk Neck Pillow

YogaAccessories Silk Neck Pillow - Eggplant PurpleI give this product 4 stars because it is well made and has so much buckwheat hulls. buckwheat hulls can be hard when packed tightly. I took some of the buckwheat hulls out to get the desired softness/hardness of the pillow. People who are not familiar with buckwheat might be surprised at the hardness of a packed buckwheat hull product. Just take some out and you will be very happy. this is an excellent, reasonably priced product.

The product could be better if the pillow case used to hold the Buckwheat hulls is more elastic, and a little less full. This will provide better contour for people with smaller neck/shoulder ridges.

Been looking for months to replace a similar size pillow for my neck that I lost on an airplane. This one is perfect.

Read Best Reviews of YogaAccessories (TM) Silk Neck Pillow Here

Very Very misleading ad. When this pillow arrived I was shocked at how tiny it was. I thought surely I had carefully read the ad for it and others I was looking at buying on Amazon. But I assumed I must have looked at so many that I skipped the specs on this one. So decided not to return and just give to our 3 year old to play with. YES it is THAT small. BUt I sit down a few days later to write reviews on a couple of products (not this one actually) and happened to remember to go read the ad. Lo and Behold 12" long and 8-1/2" across????? ACROSS WHAT???? Folks, this thing is at home, so I don't have it here to measure. But we are talking MAYBE 3" diameter. I'm not even sure you could get a 8.5" circumfrence measurement out of this tiny thing. Think Tube of Summer Sausage here from the grocery store. 19 bucks? Really? Please, correct the ad or define what 8.5" ACROSS means !!!!!

Want YogaAccessories (TM) Silk Neck Pillow Discount?

Smaller than advertised but ok. Listing says 5 1/2 inches but the ones I received are only 4 inches in diameter Had I known they were only 4 inches I would not have purchased but they are serving a purpose. If the size was accurate I'd give them a 5.

Pointehaven Grapevine 12-Piece 100-Percent Cotton Luxury Bedding Ensemble

Pointehaven Grapevine 12-Piece 100-Percent Cotton Luxury Full Bedding EnsembleI love purple and grapevine motifs and this bedding ensemble does not disappoint. My husband loves it too, and it's not too feminine. You get a lot of stuff for your money, and it makes the entire bed complete. The only reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is that the purples in this collection are very red-purples, and are basically impossible to match exactly when purchasing complementary bedding. I ended up just going with basic plums and lavenders, which are typically more in the blue-purple family. They don't match, but are 'good enough.' You'll see what I mean. The colors are just completely unusual and not typical. Also, it's not sateen and not silky smooth, but is still nice and looks great.

The set is wonderful. I love the design and it comes with all the essential pieces and a few bonus pieces (the shams, bedskirt and decorative pillows). The only drawback of this set is that the comforter and sheets get a lot of small wrinkles during the night and the wrinkles never "fall" if you're constantly sleeping with the comforter.

I haven't washed the set yet so I can't speak on what it's like after you take it out of the washer or dryer.

Overall, I am very content with the set.

I love this comforter set. It has many pros and only 1 con however i found very easy to overlook it.

pros: made of cotton, soft, comfortable, and keeps you warm; machine washable; All items included in the set so u have a very nice elegant look to the bed with all the decorative pillows that are included; The price is decent everywhere else was looking for about the same amount for the 8 piece set or more for the 12 piece set.

con: small wrinkles appear on the comforter and sheets

I searched for weeks for a decent comforter before I came across this one. All of which are usually polyester these days and a good majority are dry clean only. When I received this comforter I was very impressed and went perfect with the bedroom set. I would highly recommend this comforter set. :-)

Snoozer Dream Weaver Full Body Pillowcase, White

Snoozer Dream Weaver Full Body Pillowcase, WhiteI never write product reviews online, but I want all pregnant women considering this product to just bite the bullet and buy it. I was very apprehensive about such a weird looking pillow creature sharing our bed, but I shouldn't have been it's great. There are several choices to make regarding filler and size once you've honed in on this particular pillow. I bought the expensive goose down full length pillow, and I'm glad I did. I know it's expensive, but my sleep is too important to skimp on. I was worried that the down pillow might be too soft, as many down pillows are quite flat, but it is very full and more supportive than I ever figured down could be.

My husband and I sleep in a queen size bed, and I was concerned about how this pillow would fit in our bed. While it is rather large, it hasn't been a problem. I don't seem to take up any more room curled up with the snoozer than I do just side sleeping with my knees bent. He doesn't mind it, anyway. And, I love it! I figured when I bought this pillow that I'd continue using my tempurpedic pillow for my head, but the snoozer is so comfy that the tempurpedic has been kicked out of the bed.

To my surprise, I've found that I also really love using this pillow to prop myself up to read in bed. Curled into a "U" shape behind me, it provides great armrests as well as really nice support. As this will be my first child, I don't know about breastfeeding yet, but I imagine this pillow will be great for that, too.

I bought this pillow when I was about 4 1/2 months pregnant (before I probably really needed it), and now that I'm at 6 months, I am SO glad to have it. And, I really doubt that I'll stop using it once I deliver the baby. Pregnant or not, I really like the support between my knees and under my side to keep my from rolling over onto my belly.

Bottom line just buy it! I really doubt you'll be sorry.

This pillow is nothing like it looks in the photos. It is stuffed so much it is simply too firm to cuddle up with. It's like an overstuffed tube! Also the included pillow case shrinks when washed and dried making it nearly impossible to put on the the pillow and once on it makes the pillow even stiffer being that it is stuffed into a pillow case that is too small. I am far from pleased with this purchase and now have to go through the hassle of returning it :(

I absolutely love the pillow, and rate it a 5. However, the pillowcase that came with it left much to be desired, and I'm assuming this is the same case. After only two washings in cold water, and two trips through the dryer on Low, it had shrunk so much that it actually straightened out the pillow when I struggled through putting it on for the third time. I've had to switch to using two king-sized pillowcases, which leaves a lot of loose fabric around the curved end, until I have time to tailor one of the cases to fit the curve. Quite a disappointment, but at least the pillow itself is still something I love.

I have fibromyalgia, and cannot sleep at night, was using two or three pillows around my body so I could sleep. After I got this pillow, it was all I needed. I still have pain, but the pillow makes it easier for me to tolerate.

thank you

Want Snoozer Dream Weaver Full Body Pillowcase, White Discount?

The pillowcase is well-made, fits nicely, and the fabric far exceeds the lightweight stuff found in most pillowcases. I'm very pleased, and will seek out Snoozer products next time I have a need for these linens.

Update: the company also sells a pricey J-shaped pillow which this case fits; I erroneously believed it was a plain regular no-frills pillow case, just body-pillow sized. I found, however, that the case shapes my two-year-old body pillow into its own J. So save your money on the pillow and simply buy the case.

I've also been pleased by other aspects of its performance: does not shrink or get thin with washing.

Travel Blue Inflatable Neck Pillow

Travel Blue  Inflatable Neck Pillow, Gray, One SizeI got a replacement inflatable neck pillow from this company through Amazon. What a difference!! This one you could inflate and close it off and it stayed inflated. A very nice product!!! A very good idea for a trip!!

This pillow is so uncomfortable! The space where you place your neck is so large you'd have to be a weight lifter for it to work for you. Very disappointing.

Buy Travel Blue Inflatable Neck Pillow Now

Good pillow, fills easily with a single breath. Pretty much exactly what I had in mind when I saw it/ordered it. Same inflatable pillow you've been seeing around for the past 20 years; the standard if you will. I was using mine as a flotation device in a hot tub (and as you may or may not know it has been winter). The plastic plug attached that seals the rubber valve busted on mine, with the plug still in the valve. Probably my fault, since I doubt it was made to go back and forth between 106degree water and 25degree air. Still, I'm pretty sure I can use pliers to pull out the stopper, and then rig something up to fit the valve: a rivet or some such thing. So, even if the plug breaks, there may be hope. Eh, maybe I'm not writing such a good 4 star review here, but I still have to say I liked the product, it performed as advertised, and probably only failed because I pushed it to an extreme. I would say if you're looking at using it for travel (which is what I'm sure everyone apart from me is doing) it will probably be just fine for you. You might still want to be a little gentle with the plastic plug, though, because even though I abused mine, I still suspect that could be a weakness in the design. Good luck!
