Adorable Anchor Band Waterproof Mattress Pad

Adorable Anchor Band Waterproof Mattress Pad, KingPlease don't buy this. I received it yesterday and washed and dried it according to the care instructions, including drying it on low heat, but when I pulled it out of the dryer, it was shredded and melted. Completely unusable. I'm very disappointed.

You get what you pay for! It is crinkly and super hot. We used it one night and ripped it off the bed in the morning. Absolutely horrible. Please don't waste your money!!!!!

I purchased this particular mattress pad because of the corner straps. I needed this type for a sofa bed mattress and the enclosed corner type pads are too big do not fit tightly. I did not need the waterproofing, so the crackling sound it makes is not appealing; but it serves it purpose and fits well on the mattress. So, overall I am very pleased.

I ordered this Oct. 9, 2012 and I must say, though it was what I thought was kind of expensive, (around $35.00), it's really worth it! You don't have the 'crinkle' of the waterproof plastic on it, mostly feels just like material, not plastic! It's super sized to fit the most thickest mattress you might think about using it on, (we're using ours on an 8" memory foam mattress). And even with the side covers being much larger then our mattress, I have not had any problems with it 'slipping' around and pulling out on me!! The manufacture sure got it right when they said, "Waterproof, breathable, noiseless mattress protection that won't change the feel of your bed." I most certainly would recommend this cover, also it does come with a 15 year warranty!

800-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 800TC Sheet Set, King, Ivory Solid 800 TC

800-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 800TC Sheet Set, King, Ivory Solid 800 TCThis is the best sheet set I've ever purchased. We've had it for almost 2 years and it still looks and feels as great as it did after the first washing. Additionally, it has held together very well. Great purchase!

Its been 3 years now and I washed it with something that made the sheet tear, but it was in great shape after being slept on for 3 years!

I ordered the king size set (top sheet/fitted sheet and 2 king pillow cases) a few months back. I bought the ivory color. I have been able to wash them, use them and wash again to see how well they do/do not hold up. After a few uses, I would NOT buy this product again and recommend you put your money elsewhere.

For one thing, they wrinkle up pretty bad in the dryer. Hard to get the wrinkles out once there and no one irons anymore. Also, the sheets are NOT getting any softer with longer use as often happens with better quality linens (they give firm instructions in the package what to do/not do for best care and I have followed the instructions to the "t" still not working!). Finally, the sheets have seemed to slightly shrunk since I got them. We have a nice quality king pillow top mattress set and as long as I get the right size, typically not an issue. I have to use all my strength to tighten the sheets by the time I get to the 4th corner. It did not do this the first time, got a little worse the second washing and now, it's Hulk time when I try to get the fitted sheet back on the bed. We have cats too and if you don't get every inch of loose hair off the sheets prior to washing, you end up with these tiny little cat hair balls all over the place that you then have to de-lint before using. Definately avoid this set if you have pets.

I have at least a dozen sheet sets in different colors, materials and thread count in the last eight years and this set is honestly THE WORST I have bought. Most I got through Linens & Things, The Company Store, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc. I have never had a set with all the negatives as this set has had. I don't think I'll buy on line anymore. I want to feel things and see them next time. The 800 thread count for this Egyptian cotton set at Amazon did not cut it. I do not look forward to a good sleep when I know this set of sheets is on the bed. I am a disappointed customer. Don't you be too!!

Buy 800-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 800TC Sheet Set, King, Ivory Solid 800 TC Now

We bought these sheets, because the reviews were great and they seemed nice, unfortunately I was GREATLY disappointment. I've bought sheets at Costco and Target before, and THESE where supposed to be an upgrade from those; so far they are the worst sheets I've ever slept in. They feel really rough and after a month of use, they have tiny balls of fabric that make them even rougher. Also, they get really warm, so in the middle of the night I have to get up and turn the A.C. or the fan on. I can't wait to buy new ones, so I can get rid of these ones. I thought I was getting a deal with the price, but I've had many 400 or 600 thread count sheets that are way better. It just feels like throwing money down the toilet.

Wal-Pil-O The Best Rest Neck Pillow 25 x 15 x 4"

Wal-Pil-O The Best Rest Neck Pillow 25 x 15 x 4'I have had three ruptured discs in my neck. I found the walpilo the only one to offer relief from pain shooting down my arm, along with spasms in the neck. After about 18 years of battling with it, I had surgery to remove the problem discs... Even though my surgery was very successful, I still appreciate the pillow -especially when I lift too much.

I have found that the pillows do get soft after approximately year-and-a-half, and thus have to be replaced. However, adding some batting along the side you choose to support your neck, can prolong life of the pillow.

The manufacturer should offer two narrow edges, or two wide ones to double the life! But they would sell less pillows!

I have used the walpilo for 20 years, and highly recommend it!

I have ordered several of these from the same supplier over the years. It gives me the support I need to avoid neck aches and enjoy a comfortable sleep experience.

The price was the most competitive and the shipment was promptly received.

This pillow is incredibly uncomfortable. Gave it a try for 2 nights and woke up with bad headaches!!! I tried to return it and they do not accept pillow returns. If I had known this before I purchased the pillow I never would have purchased it. I do not recommend this pillow to anyone. I have three herniated disks on my neck and thought it would help, but it certainly did the opposite!!!

Vampire Knight Kaname Body Pillow

Vampire Knight Kaname Body PillowIt's an awesome body pillow. It's very much like the Japanese hug-pillows that you can hug while you sleep.

I'd say the only downside to it is that it's only 42 inches long, so you can't quite pretend that Kaname is laying next to you since he'd be much taller. lol

But if you don't pay too much close attention to the length it's just perfect. It's long enough that you can wrap your arms and legs around it just as fine and it's super soft and comfortably huggable. The pic of Kaname is also gorgeous.

You could also use it as a decorative pillow over the top area of the bed, since the length would work just fine to put against the headboard.

I love the body pillow. It's really comfy. It makes fall asleep when I go to bed. The pic of Kaname is gorgeous. Imagine that Kaname lays next to you. lol. Well, it's very beautiful. :D

Boppy Total Body Pillow

Boppy Total Body PillowI was so excited when I saw this pillow because the breastfeeding Boppy pillow is so wonderful. However, after getting it home and sleeping on it for a few nights, it actually made me feel worse! I am only five feet tall and it really is too short in the crotch area. I have no idea how anyone taller than me sleeps with this thing. Also, there is NO tummy support--which us pregnant women need...so needless to say I was using it in conjunction with another pillow for my tummy. (Which defeated the entire purpose of buying a pillow like this in the first place!) Since I'd spent so much on it in the first place, I've tried to keep using it, and am more disappointed every single night. It really lost it's fluffiness in the head part and I've had to use another pillow under it. Long story short, I've quit using it and will yard sale it in the Spring. I've used a Snoogle pillow and LOVED it--and I've got another one on the way (I gave my first one away to my sister). I would not buy this product and wished I had kept my receipts/packaging because I would have definately sent this back for a refund. I am not happy at all with it's quality, size, or utility!

The pillow felt flattened from the time I opened the package. I can't imagine what it would feel like after months of use. After one night, I am returning it, because it just isn't supporting me (which is not a rave review as I'm early in my 2nd trimester!). I wouldn't recommend this productit doesn't live up to the Boppy name.

Buy Boppy Total Body Pillow Now

I am 24 weeks pregnant, and I own this pillow. Before buying it, I was attempting to "make-do" with other pillows I had around the house, and I was waking up multiple times per night, adjusting them back into place. The Boppy pillow has been wonderful. It conforms to my curled-up body, helps me sleep better on my side, and provides great comfort. The pillow is seamed so that the filling doesn't shift around and form lumps during the night. Most importantly, I have been able to sleep through the night peacefully. It was well worth the money. My only complaints are (1) I have to completely flip the pillow over if I want to change sides during the night, and (2) my husband complains that I take up too much of the bed now. I say, too bad for him. :)

I am glad the negative reviews did not deter me from purchasing this pillow! I am 16 weeks along and have been having a terrible ache on my right side for the past couple of weeks which I attribute to the weight I carry due to my large hobo purse. So, I bought this body pillow 5 days ago hoping it might alleviate some of my side pains. After using it for the past 5 nights my back/side pain is completely gone. I am amazed and so in love with my boppy body pillow. Before I got it I was rolling around, changing positions all night and ending up a lot of times on my back. With the boppy pillow I can go to sleep on my left side and wake up in the morning still on my left side completely comfortable. I think because my legs are so wrapped around the pillow it makes movement a little more challenging?? I don't know but this pillow makes me very happy. I look forward to cuddling up with it every night! Hopefuly it will still be comfortable when my belly really pops!

I am on my second pregnancy and second boppy body pillow because I totally wore the last one out! I loved it so much, so for Mother's Day this year, I received a new one. On the packaging it boasts "Better Fluffy Stuff" and that is one of the first things I noticed. The packaging is much larger to accomodate the newly enhanced stuffing. It seems that Boppy has taken many of the customer complaints into consideration and improved the stuffing quality.

Only time will tell if this boppy stands up to the test, but so far it's great. I had no complaints about my original boppy...sure it was more of a "floppy" than a boppy by the time I was done with it, but I consider that normal wear and tear for a pillow that gets squished, tossed, and turned through the night for over a year (yes, I used it well past my baby's birth date because I had grown quite attached to the thing). Overall a great product, my only complaint is that the price be lowered a bit....I mean, come on, it's just a strangely shaped pillow!

European Goose Down Pillow - Set of 2 Pillows

European Goose Down Pillow - Set of 2 PillowsNice and firm for feather and down. I prefer a little softer pillow but these are a nice support. I think these were a great price. Hard to find in dept. stores.

a great value ,nice plush cool pillow . i love a down fill pillow because they stay cool. i will buy again.

The pillows I paid for and received were not 75% down and 25% feather as advertised but 95% feather and 5% down.

My girlfreind brought his down pillow over to my apartment since she was sleeping there every night, I got pretty jealous and would steal it whenever I went to bed before hier. So, finally I caved and decided to order a couple for myself. I ordered these and they were great, They are huge and fluffy and so so comfortable. I haven't slept this good in a long time! Now, I was a little confused cause there was a pillow with the same picture, but with bad reviews and these are NOT the same pillow (at least not based on the description). Do no hesitate to order these, they are fantastic!!

Want European Goose Down Pillow - Set of 2 Pillows Discount?

As soon as I felt these pillows I knew that they were not as advertised. I searched for the "content tags" and they had been removed! Wish I had read the reviews. One of the reviewers reports that the tags said the pillows were 95% feathers instead of the 75% down that was advertised. That seems about right. These pillows are very stiff and hard. They don't behave at all like down-filled pillows. (I already have a 75% down & 25% feather pillow for comparison). Also, the cloth cover is definitely not "600 thread count", and not down-proof. It appears that the seller read the negative review and removed tags on future pillow orders. I believe this sale with tags missing was illegal, and the written misrepresentation of content was certainly immoral.

Sleep Innovations 3-Inch Sculpted Memory Foam Topper

Sleep Innovations 3-Inch Sculpted Memory Foam Queen Mattress TopperI've purchased memory foam toppers before, some more expensive than this one. The last one was purchased at a "big box" store and while it is OK, it's not nearly what this product is. This has a sculpted top and it is much cooler to sleep on because of it and has TRUE memory foam, not some cut-rate wanna-be memory foam.

Although I've already taken several naps on it in my home, I have a full-size sleeper couch in my vacation cabin that came with a flimsy 3" foam mattress that wore out after only 2 years of very limited use. This topper will easily replace that entire mattress and I can't wait to try it out, providing I get a board to go over that deadly "bar" that usually wrecks even the strongest backs.

This topper came with a fabric cover that was fairly difficult to get on the mattress and the zipper does not intuitively start across the top corner, but rather starts down the side. It was quite a workout getting this on the mattress but after a struggle, I got it to fit sort of. It does not seem to want to conform to the sides as nicely as I'd like. I suggest buying a quilted mattress cover with elastic sides, laying this topper over your current mattress and putting the quilted one on top. Keep the one that ships with the topper as a back up or if you already have it on the mattress, just keep it there and never remove it. Taking it off of the topper to wash it (as another reviewer here does)? No way I'd hassle with that, a quilted cover would be much, much easier and would keep the other mattress cover clean underneath.

Be careful getting the mattress out of the poly wrap it's shrunk in, it would be easy to slice into it due to how tight it's wrapped. Use safety scissors with rounded tips. The mattress also has a wrap over the entire thing under the shrink wrapper which helps it stay clean while you are unpacking and unrolling it. Smart!

All in all, a great product and offered at a great price!

EDIT TO ADD: After sleeping on this topper (as a mattress alone using it on a sleeper couch with a 1/8" plywood board under it), I've never slept better in my vacation cabin. It fits perfectly in the old mattress space and folds up easily. Fantastic solution for a piece of furniture that I thought I'd have to give away.

I love the way this mattress topper adjusts to your body and supports it. It feels wonderful to fall asleep on, yet I wake up a few hours later because it retains heat so well that I'm way too warm to sleep comfortably. The weather is cooling off, and I'm hoping during the freezing winter nights that the heat retention will be a good thing.

It came compressed in a small box, so I assumed it would take a few days for it to plump up. Not so. Right out box, it fully expanded, and maybe that was because the weather was warm. It's rather heavy, so it's easier to put on the bed if you have someone to help you center it over the cover before you begin zipping. The cover is made to fit over your mattress like a fitted sheet and it has a zippered pocket on top that holds the mattress topper. It took a little tucking and tugging to get the topper zipped in, but it wasn't too bad. It's only been a week, so I haven't washed the cover yet, but I'll do an update to this review to let you know how it holds up.

There was a chemical smell right out of the box that alarmed me, because I'm extremely chemically sensitive, but it went away within 24 hours.

All in all, I would recommend this to a friend, especially if they were cold-natured because this will keep you nice and cozy.

Buy Sleep Innovations 3-Inch Sculpted Memory Foam Topper Now

One of the best investments I have ever made. I have more energy during the day and wake up feeling refreshed. I highly suggest this if you have lower back issues like I do. My pillow top mattress wasn't cutting it and I was waking up with a stiff lower back that made for a crappy start to the day. The memory foam lets your body sink into it so there aren't any pressure points to irritate your back. If I was a CEO of a corporation or a military general I would make all my employees/troops sleep on this product so that they would perform better on the job. I would suggest this product to anyone and I will not sleep without it!

I bought this to help me with my lower back pain. It did not take me long to see that this was not going to workout at all. The memory foam is too soft and offers no firmness for back support and if you have lower back pain stay clear of this and that is my honest opinion. For someone who has no back issues it will work well my husband and kids love it. But once again let me say if you have back problems stick with a firm mattress to support your back or you will pay for it in the morning.

Hope this helps

Brentwood Kids Poodle Body Pillow

Brentwood Kids Poodle Body Pillow, TurquoiseI purchased this pillow for my 12 year old daughter and we are both very happy with it. It is VERY soft, the stuffing is thick but not overstuffed and has no lumpy or uneven areas, The pink color is really pretty; soft, not too loud or bright. It's just as it shows in the picture. I had no problem with an odor or chemical smell; there was no smell at all. No shedding either. It is a well made pillow and I would definitely recommend.

I bought this for a granddaughter, hoping it would be something she'd snuggle with. This pillow definitely delivered! Definitely a great item!

The Book Seat Book Holder - Blue

The Book Seat Book Holder - Blue
  • Usually book stands or rests need to be located on a flat surface. Not the bookseat
  • The fabric used is the latest high quality 190gsm faux-suede. It is very tactile soft and highly stain resistant.
  • Loop Carry Handle - for storing on your door handle, bed post or for carrying.
  • There is a Handy storage pocket - for mobile phone, reading glasses,sunglasses,remote control, pen

The Bookseat is wonderful! I am an online student so I need to prop my textbook up next to my computer to do my classes. This is perfect. It's not too big (I thought it looked too big in the pics), so it doesn't take up a lot of desk space, but it holds even my largest text book. I can adjust it for any angle to fit my current seating postion. I even put it in my lap and it's a breeze. The clever little plastic page holder accomodates even the thickest books. The fabric is soft and practical and doesn't slide around on a slick surface. And the filling is NOT heavy. This was a concern for me as I'm not a young woman anymore and lugging around a heavy bag would not have worked for me. This is very lightweight and easy to carry anywhere. This is absolutely one of the best purchases I have ever made!

Hopes were high reading the reviews of the Book Seat Book Holder (BSBH) especially after my Levenger Thai Silk Book Rest wore out (I'd used it for 8 months straight with a broken wrist), but hey it IS silk. (However, I do highly recommend this Levenger product if you don't have to use it every single day for months at a time after an extensive hand/wrist injury!) When THIS product arrived however, I promptly found the Hardcover novel I'd been struggling to finish & plopped it right in the BSBH. Yes! It fit in the BSBH, BUT that's where any fun ended! There were MAJOR problems trying to actually USE the thing to READ my book, or as I came to find out ANY book of ANY shape or size, hardcover or soft!

1st and Foremost: There's a long clear plastic bar situated right in front of where the book sits and held in place by a looped black elastic cord which is loosened or tightened w/ a snap and slide gizmo. You must slide it TIGHT to hold the clear bar taut to the book thus keeping the book firmly in place & upright, and then guess what? You MUST LOOSEN it AGAIN just to TURN THE PAGE! REPEAT these steps with every single page turn! UCK! Every time you do this the book slides around, or may fall forward if you're lying down, and if your tome is heavy enough: with the BSBH it may just fall right out of the thing! OUCH! IMO, MAJOR design flaw! 2nd, Try lying down to read instead. Lay the book back w/o using the plastic gizmo, Result? Mush around the shape of the filling, playing with the form of the top & sides to support the book by itself all to no avail! Hmm, just NO WAY to do get this this to SUPPORT A BOOK & READ, BOTH! All the BSBH can do is HOLD A BOOK! Now, that's useful for the price!

So, to put a fine point on it: The BSBH just DOES NOT WORK! Period. Don't even THINK about buying it as it WILL be total waste of your hard earned money! Yeah, I know, it's attractive, with little gizmos to draw you in BUT think again and: JUST DON'T DO IT!

I originally bought this for my mother who recently had nerve damage in her hand and has trouble holding a book now. Shipping somehow also sent one to me so I get to use it with my kindle. It's great. I'm not sure my mom uses it at all, but it does seem to work with books and magazines. I also got her the Peeramid Bookrest pillow, but that doesn't seem to hold heavier books. On this one, the reviews all said the plastic that holds the pages is sharp. Seems like the manufacturers could/should fix that. But it works fine on a kindle. It's squishy so I can change the angle a little as needed depending on where I am sitting.

Inflatable Neck Pillow and Travel Pillow with Small Portable Pouch - Air Evolution

Inflatable Neck Pillow and Travel Pillow with Small Portable Pouch - Black Air EvolutionThis worked great on a 13-hr flight. My husband's bead filled one wasn't as comfortable for me. It's a bit pricey though was worth it. I can't speak to longevity of product as only made one trip with it.

I bought two of these air pillows for a week long canoe trip canada this summer because I needed something to support my neck for the long bus ride and because we did not have alot space for gear on trek. I also bought a regular foam version too. I preferred the foam version for the bus, but didn't dare take that one on the water. The air pillows worked great for the week in tents. One of my air pillows did developed a leak, but Cabeau replaced it no hassle.

I purchased first the foam pillow which is excellent, but somewhat too big when you travel around a lot. I then changed to the inflatable pillow for my wife and myself. We use them extensively, both on long distance flights and for long bus drives (such as in Bhutan last month...). They are very pleasant and extremely efficient.

I should also add that delivery lead time to France was quite short. The parcel had been opened during transport and one of the pillows had been stolen. It has been replaced very quickly.

Sensorpedic Luxury Supreme 2-Inch Memory Foam Mattress Topper with Ventilated Icool Technology, Cali

Sensorpedic Luxury Supreme 2-Inch Memory Foam Mattress Topper with Ventilated Icool Technology, California King Size, WhiteI bought this mattress topper sort of on a whim. Was possibly going to buy a new mattress as ours is losing its Umph.. I happened to be at Aldi's picking up some carrots and saw this very mattress topper (Queen size) there. I gave it a shot. I paid (for a queen size) $89.00 (plus a few bucks for tax). I will say it again, I paid at Aldi's $89.00 for this very ( queen size) mattress topper that is being sold here on Amazon, at this very moment, for $180.00! And it is worth every penny I paid for it. If it had not been the last one there I would have bought more and sold them through ebay (will I be censored if I say "ebay" on Amazon? or "Aldi's" for that matter?). Oh! And did I mention it was a Queen?

Obus Forme UltraForm Pillow

Obus Forme UltraForm PillowThe Obus Forme pillow names are SO tricky! There is the UltraFoam DELUXE pillow, (not this one), that doesn't have such great reviews and then there is this one, the best one just the UltraFoam, (not deluxe)! Expect for some reason this particular vendor has the title as UltraForm! Ahh so confusing! However, this is the pillow I ordered as a gift and luckily it was the one I currently own and LOVE! Yes, I know what you're thinking the same I did when I heard about this pillow, "$60-$70 for a pillow"???!! Now I say, "It's the best $65 I've ever spent"! This pillow has changed my life. I've had this exact same pillow for about 3 years and it is still just like new and still just as comfortable. The description on the Obus Forme website describes this pillow as, "Our thinnest memory foam pillow, ideal for smaller people and those who prefer a lower pillow height". I honestly think this description throws people off. Although I am personally petite in size, I don't believe this pillow to be really all that small. It's not a very long pillow horizontally but height-wise it's perfect. It's not too soft and definitely not hard like some other Obus Forme pillows are being described as. I wouldn't recommend this pillow if you are "strictly" a stomach sleeper it's best for back sleepers and even better for side sleepers. I do still occasionally sleep on my stomach with this pillow and it's not really an issue. If you choose to sleep on this pillow the same way I do, (the highest part of the pillow under your neck), you'll soon come to realize the benefits. It keeps your neck level with your spine the way your neck really should be while lying down. I "used to" suffer from frequent headaches and I swear, since I've had this pillow, my headaches have been less & less frequent! I just gave this pillow to my Mom for Christmas and she called me the next morning to thank me again! Her exact words were, "I slept like a baby last night". She went on to say that she really believed this pillow had allowed her to sleep more peacefully without much tossing & turning! This means my Dad probably slept better too! Haha! I am thinking about making this my signature gift idea for close family members and friends who I know would just LOVE this pillow! Hopefully this review is helpful and even better, you agree that this really is the best pillow ever! Sweet dreams.....

LinenSpa® Gel Fiber Pillow with Memory Foam Layer with Luxurious 300TC Cotton Cover

LinenSpa® Gel Fiber Pillow with Memory Foam Layer with Luxurious 300TC Cotton CoverI like to sleep on my side and put my hands under my pillow. I can never find a pillow that is soft enough to mold and sleep with my hands under but firm enough to support my neck. I've really loved this one! The memory foam on top supports my neck but the bottom is soft and pliable. So far so good:)

Bought this pillow for my son. He likes it. I gave it 3 stars because I think the memory foam layer is a bit thin. As I said though, my son is happy with it.

So something about the way this is designed just doesn't quite work. I decided there's no enough other padding in there, and there's not enough memory foam to make up for it. So you first lay down and it's like "this is alright" then as your head sinks further it stops feeling like you have a pillow at all. It's very solid. I realize this is just personal preference, but it's also not what the pillow seemed to be described as.

I purchased this pillow to replace two current pillows, one down alternative, and one memory foam. I assumed that the memory foam layer would be much more substantial than it is. The memory foam layer is less than .5cm, and really just feels like a heavy fabric under the pillow case. The gel fiber compresses too easily, and the pillow flattens under the weight of my head. I would rate this pillow lower than a much cheaper store bought down alternative pillow.

The ComfortPillow by Tempur-Pedic

The ComfortPillow by Tempur-PedicSince seeing ads for the Tempur-Pedic mattress, I have begged my husband to buy one. Of course because of the costly price tag, my husband said NO. I figured since I could not have the mattress, at least I would buy the Tempur-pedic pillow. At over $100, this is one pricey pillow but it is soooo worth it. I love the fact that the pillow feels hard yet soft at the same time. I can use it for good, deep sleep or I can twist and punch it so it can lie under crook of my neck to sooth all my aches away. It is the most moldable pillow I have ever encountered.

This is the second Tempur-Pedic pillow that I have owned and the only reason that I had to buy a second pillow was because I ruined the first one when I washed it. In order to wash, you need to remove the zippered pillow cover but once I removed this cover, the material inside basically shifted and after I washed and put the pillow cover back on it seemed to me that the pillow "lost" its original firmness. Since I had this pillow for over a year, I really did not mind spending another $100 bucks. Trust me, once you own a Tempur-Pedic you will not settle for less.

***Just a warning, when you use this pillow for the first time, it will have a funny smell to it (I think it has something to do with the material used inside) but after a couple of days that funny smell goes away and you are in for some of the best sleep ever.

Until I can convince the hubby to buy me the Tempur-Pedic mattress, I will cherish this pillow.

after buying a couple of competitor memory foam pillows, I finally decided to put up the money for this. I remember squeezing one everytime I went into a brookstone store, it felt amazing.

First impression of this pillow is that it is very heavy, it's the heaviest pillow I've ever owned. Secondly, it stinks like latex. A small label on the pillow says that the odor will go away after a few days, its been a week and it still kind of lingers. Third, it has a true memory function. Other knockoff brands have memory foam that maintains shape for about a quarter of a second or less. depending on pressure, the tempurpedic pillow holds memory for almost 8 seconds

I found that sleeping on it can be uncomfortable sometimes. while it does hold memory, it can create a bowl shape for your head. This does not feel feather-soft, but rather somewhat flat and hard. I have an average sized head and I find that my head is not heavy enough to compress the foam very much. Perhaps it is the way I sleep on it. I would consider it a firm pillow

With that said, oddly enough I have found that I tend to fall asleep faster and stay asleep at night. Also, when I wake up, I still have this pillow under my head, usually I will have switched during the night.

so, keep in mind that even though it feels very soft to the touch, when it is compressed, it just becomes flat. if you wanted a feather-soft pillow, this might not be the one for you.

I have a set of these pillows in the queen size. I bought them at a shop in the mall a couple years ago and after all this time I still love these pillows more than any of the other ones on the three beds in our home.

What I like about these pillows is that they offer really nice support and comfort without the ugly look of many tempur type products. They fill out a pillowcase nicely and that means a lot to me. If you've ever put one of those orthopedic looking pillows into a pillowcase, well you know how sad and empty the case looks and it just makes the bed look kind of wrong.

Anyway back to these pillows. They are really heavy and they feel wonderful whether I am sleeping on my back or my side. They don't make me feel too hot which is something I was a little bit concerned about because I heard memory foam can be warm but these are not a problem for me. Some reviewers complained about a chemical smell and I honestly do not remember if these had a smell to them at first because it's been so long. If they did have a chemical smell it has long since gone away.

I do want to say that I'm not sure I'd buy an item like this online. A pillow is a very personal item. You can't tell if you will like it by looking at it or reading about it. You have to rest on one to determine if it will be the right thing for you.

I can say that if you like the tempur products and you prefer the look of a standard pillow then this is probably an excellent product for you.

The reason I gave it 4 stars is because I think the price is awfully high though I am still very happy with these so I don't feel it was a waste of $.

The old adage, "You get what you pay for." is very appropriate in this case. After one, yes ONE night of sleeping on this pillow, the stiffness and pain in my neck is noticeably less.

I must've aggravated an old injury in my upper back while at the gym recently. As such, for a week straight, I was waking up in pure agony. It felt like an icepick was being shoved into my spine at the base of my neck. So, do I keep downing Advil like they were M&M's or do I try to find a real solution? I started by telling myself that the lousy pillows I was using was doing nothing to heal this recently revitalized upper back injury. I had no intention of buying a Tempur-Pedic pillow at all, really. I just wanted something that was thicker and firmer than what I was currently sleeping on, pillow-wise.

I'll tell ya, folks, I went into the local mattress-superstore and test drove a few pillows and for the life of me, I could not get uncomfortable with the Tempur-Pedic. I not only kicked its tires, I ground the gears, slammed the doors and tried to blow out the speakers. And nothing I did convinced me that plunking down this kind of cash was anything but a solid investment. Nothing! My test drive was unshakably comfirmed last night. My litmus test was when I began to sit up and was at about a 30-degree angle and that icepick that had so recently tortured me, was now gone. There's still a residual cramping in my back and neck, but did I expect this pillow would "cure" me overnight? No. Talk to me in about a week, however. Something tells me that I'll be ready to resume my breakdancing lessons again. Buy this pillow.

I would have given it five stars if the pillow contoured to fit.

Sizzix Movers/Shapers Large Base Die By Tim Holtz-Pillow Box -Labels

Sizzix Movers/Shapers Large Base Die By Tim Holtz-Pillow Box -LabelsI love this die because I can fit a gift card or small chocolates inside. I have the smaller pillow box die from Sizzix, and it's not big enough for a gift card, so would only work as a wedding favor or baby shower favor box. Also, since this bigger die is a movers and shapers die, I can put a window in the pillow box (or snowflake, or circle, or whatever small magnetic shape) into the base of the die, and cut everything at once. The score lines are nicely etched and fold cleanly. The die is the thickness of an original Sizzix die, so you only need he two acrylic plates to run it through your Sizzix Big Shot, Big Kick or Vagabond.

Bought this die to start my collection and its great sharp crisp lines easy to store and very happy with it.

1200 Series TWIN Size Microfiber 3pc Bed Sheet Set, Deep Pocket, SAGE GREEN

1200 Series TWIN Size Microfiber 3pc Bed Sheet Set, Deep Pocket, SAGE GREENThese sheets are 100% microfiber. Thin, lousy material. There is nothing "Egyptian" about them and they are certainly not 1200 thread count.

These sheets are so densely woven, and yet remain very light and soft. I have never seen such a fine quality at such a low price. Am most pleased.

The description of this product implies it is "Egyptian" cotton, but it is in fact microfiber and quite poor quality for the price

I bought these sheets for my desert deployment. Having a comfortable bed to go back to after a very long day is something I try to "treat" myself to when I deploy. Sleep is EVERYTHING, and comfortable sleep is worth its weight in gold. These sheets are exactly the color represented in the picture. Soft out of the box and with every was haev continually gotten softer. Very little shrikage, even with the very rough clothes washing system here in camp. I LOVE these sheets and am considering buying 4 more sets for my queen sized beds back home.

I love these sheets. They are great for the summer. Very soft and they fit the beds perfectly. My husband liked them as well which is pretty amazing as he usually doesn't even notice such things.

The color is great too. Exactly what I wanted.
