Nickelodeon, Dora the Explorer All Together 15-Inch Pillow by The Northwest Company
My daughter needed a "travel" pillow and this fit the bill. My only dislike was that it was a regular stuffed cotton pillow. I bought this in a rush (on vacation) so I didn't read carefully what it was made from, I was hoping for the "bean" stuffing that is a bit easier to lay down on and mold around your head. However, this still is great and my daughter ( 2.5) was thrilled to have a Dora pillow. Is a bit stiff from all the stuffing, we're hoping it will get softer with a bit of time and washings. And thus far, (after 3 months of owning it) it has washed up nicely.
Kids Hypoallergenic Pillow
This pillow was a great size for our 3-year-old son, and we were pretty happy with it at first. But we noticed that the fiberfill tended to separate pretty easily inside the pillow where my son would lay his head, leaving a gap between the fluffy parts. I would try to fluff it back up, but over time the problem just kept getting worse. We are now looking for a new pillow because the fiberfill is too lumpy and separated now (we've had the pillow for about 10 months). Very disappointing.This pillow was nice and lofty when it was new, but quickly turned flat within a few weeks. It's too bad as it is a good size pillow and my 2 year old liked it when it was new. Now it's so flat that he may as well not use it, as it provides no support for his head. Save your money and don't buy.

This is a great size for a first pillow for my toddler's crib. The idea was to start getting her to sleep on a pillow so when we turn her crib into a toddler bed she might keep her head at one end, and it does that well. I could see how this would be a great travel pillow, perfect size for the car, not too big.Love the size of this pillow, but after two weeks, it's flat as a pancake. Now I'm searching for a replacement that will fit One Step Ahead's custom pillowcase. Alas.After trying out a few pillows from home that we already owned, I decided to purchase a pillow especially for my 20 month old. Our other pillows were too large or too full. I found that a lumbar pillow was just about the right size for her; however, it was hardly hypoallergenic and it was still a little too full. This is the perfect size for her, and she loves it. I find that when I check on her after a few hours of sleep, her head is still nestled on it, and she sleeps peacefully. It's not too full or too long. Very happy with it.Jane Seymour St. Catherine's Court Devonshire Decorative Pillow
Exclusive Elegant 3D Jewel Bead Button Flower Blossom Cushion With Color Options
Great pillow. Just what I expected. Right color, size. I Love it. Hope all my orders are like this one. JudyVery nice throw pillow. Nice material & stitching. Looks great as an accent to my gray and white bed set. Completely met my expectations. Good buy.
I love it. It goes perfect with my bedroom. It looks exaclty as pictured.We knew the color names were strange but the picture showed a grey colored pillow at an awesome price. When it arrived it was a golden brown...pretty but not grey like we needed. Nice product so I cant say anything bad except NOT the color that showed on the screen.

We splurged on a Frette duvet cover recently that has this particular shade of lavender/lilac in it and were trying to find an accent pillow that would match. This is very pretty and goes well with the bedding, which I was happy about since the color that appears on screen isn't always true to the actual product. The fabric is shimmery and the flower has a faux jewel detail in the center, which adds a nice touch.Lush Decor Animal Plush 4-Piece Comforter Set, Full
piece of crap! not long enough and not wide enough. I had to cut the treads hanging off all around it. cheap!I bought this set for the guest bedroom. Out of the bag, it wasn't the most luxurious bedding set, but it was acceptable for what I needed it for. I slept in it one night just to get a feel for the set. It was just fine. I don't have any complaints of loose threads like another review. I can not say how well these hold up over a period of time of everyday use. If you are looking for a decent priced bedding set for occasional use, though, this will serve just fine.
SHEEX Side Sleeper Performance Pillow
I bought the sheex pillow from bed bath and beyond, and let me tell you that this pillow was the best out of my pillow trials. I chose bed bath and beyond because of their hassle free return policy, its ridiculously great, they even accept an exchange up to a full year later, and if you have the receipt they'll give your money back up to a year. So they have quite a few nice pillows, My first pillow was the "indulgence" it was alright, its good for women but not too many men, next choice was the "my pillow" they only have one size of the pillow which sucks cause I know that I needed the blue pillow, I figured I would try the one they had and if I loved it after 2 weeks I would get my money back and order the one I needed from the site, it was horrible. The "My pillow" they have is the white one and its $59 which was the price of mostly all the pillows there. Next was the "claritin" which was $39, and it was from what seems like an ordinary pillow, some like it and some don't, then I tried the star of the review the "sheex" which was excellent, in keeping me cool the whole night, keeping me sleep, and keepi g me comfortable with no pain in the morning. I definitely care about my sleep as anyone should, however lots of ppl care less about their sleep, anyways this is a great pillow, try it...Recently, I ordered it from Amazon. Within a week, the pillow has gone flat and lost it's original shape. I didn't expect it from nearly a $100 pillow. Pl save your money and buy another pillow.
Queen Size Bed Sheet Set
These sheets were advertised as 1200 thread count, but I doubt that they are. I think the seller (or someone the seller knows) made these sheets themselves, and here are a couple of hints: 1. There is no manufacturer's tag on the sheets. 2. The stitching does not look like stitching that would be done in a factory. 3. The sheets were not clean when I removed them from the packing (in fact, I had to launder them before I could use them). This is a ripoff, and I would not order from this seller again (as a regular Amazon customer of many years, this is the FIRST time I have complained about a product).These sheets are more equivelant to 400 count walmart brand sheets. I am sorry but I am very dissappointed in what I recieved today. Price was too good to be true so I am not sure what I truly expected was going to happen. These sheets are not 1200 count in any way shape or form. They feel like the walmart 400 tc.
looks bad, feels like sand paper. it's more like fabric that you would find in a
jail or a homeless shelter.
Being that it's so hard to return items like this i'm not going to bother
I'll drop it off down the street at the value village.. Maybe some guy or girl who's down
on there luck can use this but.. god they are crappy. I know what a good fitted 1200 thread count
sheet should look like and feel like and this is not it.
Amazon stop selling these... they are a rip off.I don't know much about thread count, so I will take others' word that these are not 1200 thread count. I do know that the buttons ALL FELL OFF within the first 2 weeks of use. I sewed back on, but the quality is remarkably low. Beware!!

MARRIKAS Pillow Top Feather Bed Featherbed Twin
This featherbed isnt as plush as the picture would have you believe, and its effortlessly squashed out of shape, however it doesnt lose feathers as bad as these things usually do, and it did make my dorm bed exceptably less uncomfortable. The shipping was pretty quick, and decently priced.Purchased for guests who often differ in their preference of mattress firmness. So far only one guest has expeirenced the Pillow Top Feather bed. She describes herself as very picky and yet reports it was as comfortable as sleeping on a cloud.
One thing I wish this product had: some way to secure it to the actual mattress so it doesn't shift during the night. That said, my guest had no complaints about this.

Hallmart Collectibles 49717 Geo 5-Piece Comforter Set, King
We bought this after always having full bedspreads, so I was very concerned about the size and weight. I was pleasantly surprised that with a nice bedskirt (bought separately), it is large enough and a very nice mid-weight. It's taking some getting used to that it doesn't cover the bed pillows, but that's certainly not the fault of the comforter. The photo is accurate.
Royal Hotel's Stripe Gold 800 Thread Count 4pc Queen Bed Sheet Set 100% Egyptian Cotton, Sateen Stri
I purchased these sheets because the price for the thread count was unbeatable (I did a few hours over 2 days worth of shop pricing) and because this company offered a wide variety of colors for the price and thread count. The sheets are as soft as they say, and they continue to get softer with each wash. I live in the Rocky Mtn West and these sheets are warm on our cold winter nights and cool during the swelter of summer.

Hotel 200TC Sheet by the dozen--Pillow Cases
I co-sponsor a color guard group and wanted something nice for the girls as camp gifts. These pillowcases were great! I was able to paint on them easily and they washed up fine. I could see using these to embroider on either by machine or by hand.I have never liked small pillows. I have a queen size bed and four king size pillows. I was looking for affordable bedding and came across these. I was a little leary that they say Hotel pillow cases, wasn't sure if they'd be stiff and/or uncomfortable. I'm so glad I bought them and will probably buy more! These cases are so light, comfortable and soft I'd recommend them highly!

BALTIMORE RAVENS 6PC TWIN BEDDING SET, Comforter, 3pc Sheet Set, Pillow Sham, Bedskirt, New NFL Foot
The Baltimore Ravens Twin Bedding Set arrived on time and is very nice. My grandson likes it very much. However, the top sheet has a hole in it. I notified the sender immediately and he notified the manufacturer to send me a new set of sheets. After waiting for more than a week, I again emailed the sender for an ETA of the new sheet and he forwarded the email from the manufacturer to me and said that he would once again contact the manufacturer. It's been more than two weeks and I have not had any additional communication from the sender or the manufacturer nor have I received a new sheet. Even though I like the product, I don't think that I would order from them again since it seems that they have dropped the ball. I'm having second thoughts about ordering from Amazon.com as well since I don't want to have this scenario repeated.

Pillows Plus Premium Waterproof and Breathable Mattress Protector - Queen Size - Made in the USA
This product has cured my morning sniffles! It protects my mattress from wetness and allergens while still allowing air to pass through and keep me cool at night. Fast Shipping!I bought this because i wanted to keep my mattress clean and also because I am allergic to dust mites. Sleeping on this made me feel hot like I was sleeping on a plastic sheet and even worse this product can not protect against dust mites because it does not go all around the mattress like a zippered cover does.
This product does not meet its claims, try a different one.We purchased this item along with our new mattress set back in March 2011. We have been extremely pleased with the product to date. I have washed/dried it multiple times following the directions of the manufacturer. Although, I do have to send it through a second spin cycle so that it doesn't enter the dryer dripping,(But that may be due to the crappy high-end efficiency washer we have...that's another story). It has proven to be water proof as I literally tested it by pouring 2 ounces of water on it and let it sit a few minutes, while keeping a folded towel underneath. The towel stayed completely dry. We also haven't had any issues of it causing us to overheat or sweat during the night and my honey is pretty hot natured guy. No noise or crinkly plastic sounds as we had with other waterproof mattress protectors. It's thin and the terry cloth top is soft. Since we are so pleased with this product we are purchasing another via Amazon at half the cost we paid at the mattress store.
Another important FYI, per the manufacturers 10-year warranty: "Purchase receipt for mattress and Protector must be retained to validate warranty". The mfg warranty also states: "Combined Purchase of New Mattress and Protector from an authorized Pillows Plus Retailer protects your mattress warranty." This last statement is in bold and underlined. Therefore, if you are purchasing a new mattress, it is best to purchase this item, if offered, with your mattress and keep the receipt stored with the warranty so that both your new mattress & protector are within the mfg warranty guidelines in the event of a defect. If desired, as we are, purchase additional protectors via Amazon a half the cost.I wish I had known about this product sooner all of the mattresses in my house would have had them and the occasional "accidents" the kids had would not have been a worry. We started with one on our Memory foam mattress and we both think it's great. It feels great to know there are no dust mites "living" in the mattress! Just pop it in the washer every other week or so; have had it over a year and it's holding up well.

Modern Grey Table Runner 72 inch long - Grey and White Table Runner, Grey Bridges
I recently purchased a house built in 1920 and have tried to bring in some elements from that time period. This table runner's classic style fits perfectly with the look that I'm trying to achieve in my dining room. It's stylish enough to stand on its own, but neutral enough to go with many other colors. I currently have an assortment of green glass votive holders intermixed with red wood figs displayed along its length and it's lovely.This table runner is very cheap looking. The textiles used are terribly printed (i.e., the black lines framing the geometric shapes are printed incorrectly, so the outside and the inside of the shape don't line up). When I went to return it due to the poor quality, the seller refused to take it back because more than 10 days had passed (i.e., their policy). I would not recommend this product or this seller. What a waste of $50.

Pirate Treasure Quilt
Ordered this for my 3 year old son's new room. I love it because you can just throw it in the wash maching. However, quite a bit of fading upon the first wash. After about 4 or 5 washes one of the seams has come undone on the edge and I will need to sew it back. My son loves it. In fact insists on sleeping on the shams which is why I have had to wash so many times already.
I would recomend this if you are on a budget.This is a really cute bedroom set, however I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the materials. I would only recommend purchasing if you can get it for a really good price. Otherwise, you may be able to find something better.Not the best qualityI have ordered this brand before and have been very happy but this comforter is generally of poor quality and not worth the money

Pillow Perfect Decorative Red/Gold Striped Toss Pillows, Rectangle, 2-Pack
Sturdy, perfect for outdoors, exactly as described. Arrived quickly, and make perfect porch pillows which is what we ordered them for.For me, this purchase was a "shot in the dark" because I am not good at envisioning and really need to see two things together before I can make a decision. My sofa id patterned in shades of navy and a slightly orangy red, so I took a chance and these pillows worked perfectly. Not too big (so as to get in the way of "sitting") but like Goldilocks said "just right." Amazingly the colors were perfect for my sofa. The quality is excellent and it seems like they were delivered to my door within minutes after I ordered them. My sofa is old and faded but still in excellent condition. Just needed something to spiff it up. These rectangular throw pillows are perfect.

It's looks wonderful. I knew it was cotton so I just rinsed in cold water and set out to dry and it shrunk about 2 inches. Lovely if you don't wash it.I bought these for my kitchen where I have sliding doors out onto a patio. It was perfect until I washed them. I washed them per their directions on cold. Laid them flat to dry. They shrunk 3 inches!!! Ugh, no they are embarrassingly short. What a waste.Im sure the curtains are great, but I was dismayed upon opening the package to see that the "white" (yes, they're labled WHITE on the package) curtains are actually cream. SIGH...off to the post office I go.
