American Baby Company Quilted Waterproof Cradle Mattress Pad
-Very soft and well cushioned without being "puffy" (so the SIDS risk is kept low)
-doesn't make a crinkly sound, despite having waterproof vinyl on the bottom
-waterproof!
-fits standard cradle mattress and is reasonably priced
Cons:
-despite what the washing instructions say, DO NOT PUT THIS IN THE DRYER (or do so at your own risk); you should let it air dry (buy two so that you don't need the one being washed back on the cradle right away). The first time I put this in the dryer (and temperature setting was not hot), it came out with 3-4 small tears in the waterproof vinyl. I taped them closed so that the mattress pad remains waterproof.

The title says it all...I hadn't even USED the product yet and decided to wash it prior to use. And although I followed the care instructions on the package to a "t", after removing the item from my dryer (yes, setting was on low/delicates) the waterproof backing had completely melted and torn away from the fabric.
Don't waste your money, even if it is $10.00. I may have just received a "dud" but would recommend staying away just in case.

I bought a wooden cradle from a friend but it needed a new mattress. Bought 2" mattress foam at a craft store and cut it to fit the cradle (18" x 36"). Was thinking about how to cover the foam mattress to protect it and make it waterproof. Decided rather than hassling with sewing a cover around the foam, I'd just get 2 of these mattress pads and cover the foam on each side, overlapping the pads. It works great! Makes the foam mattress more comfy for baby, protects it and keeps it waterproof. If baby wets during the night, I take the pad off the side she wet on and just turn the mattress over. These pads are the perfect size for a 2" mattress and they are good quality. I love that the quilted side is 100% cotton. Great price too.Want American Baby Company Quilted Waterproof Cradle Mattress Pad Discount?
I was thoroughly disappointed to find that the "American Baby Company" cradle sheets and cradle mattress pads I bought were in fact made in China. When I opened the package I could smell the preservatives or something off-gassing. I am not sure that whatever chemical it is will be completely removed by washing, and there is no way I will risk the health of my grandbaby. I am returning these and ordering US-made, chemical-free pads and sheets. Lesson learned.Monday, September 15, 2014

Zzonk Travel Pillow - 10 Supportive Positions, Dual-density with Memory Foam and Non-slip Surfaces,
WINNER: my experience continued through the kids. They woke up, refreshed, talked about how great the comfort of the memory foam was and how great they felt. The others we've bought will be trashed successfully. This is perfectly made and designed. I was a proud Dad for sharing something I enjoyed with the kids.

Deluxe 100-Percent Natural Green tussah Silk Filled White Comforter for Summer
Well, it smells worse than ever now. It's kind of like raw silk dipped in cholorphorm and mixed with acetone. I wish I hadn't used it and had it washed, because it's probably going to get thrown out now. I'm sad, because I would have loved it otherwise. I was looking around for a new comforter, but after owning a few different down comforters and getting tired of the feathers and extra heat I was trying to find an alternative. After some research I heard silk comforters help to regulate body temperature and don't trap heat like down. Most of the silk comforters I looked up were extremely pricey, but this one was a great price. I was a little skeptical, but I figured I would pull the trigger and worse case scenario I use it for guests. It's pretty thin, but comfortable to sleep with. My girlfriend has a tendency to get night sweats, and the down made it very bad for her although she loved the feeling of it when she went to sleep. This comforter has kept her from getting night sweats and keeps us both cozy at night. For the price, I think it's amazing. I paid 3x as much for my last down comforter and it's now packed away. I will probably get a better one eventually, but this one is doing it's job nicely so far.

I bought a medium quality silk comforter in China several years ago and this one is about the same quality. I gave this one 5 stars due to its value based on quality vs. price, which is outstanding.Another reviewer had problems with chemical smells, so the first thing I did as soon as I unzipped it was to smell it. Mine had a very faint odor of woodworking oil stain as if it had been on recently stained wood. The label says the silk is sanitized, so maybe there's a cleaning chemical involved. It's not even noticeable now that I've put it in the duvet cover.
Silk comforters are made differently from down ones. The silk is actually whole cocoons that are stretched across a duvet sized frame one on top another. So the insides are many thin layers of randomly pulled raw silk that lay flat and run the full length of the comforter. The thickness is minimal, and unlike down, is fairly even everywhere.
This duvet is lightweight (for silk) and appropriate for summer or well-heated bedrooms in winter. They do make heavier and costlier silk comforters for colder situations. I find that silk breathes really well and is very adaptive to temperature, so it's seldom ever is too warm or cool when sleeping. Compared to a summer weight down comforter, this silk one feels more substantial over me and the duvet holds its shape better. It's like having a blanket over me without getting roasted on warm nights. I use silk in the summer and switch back to a winter-weight down comforter when it gets cold.
The only think that you may not like about silk is the blanket-like weight and stiffness of it. If you love the feeling of an ultra light, floppy, airy down duvet in summer, this may not be your cup of tea. If you want a duvet that keeps its shape well and is highly adaptable to temperature, I'd recommend this one. I was looking for a lightweight comforter for the spring/summer that would provide some cover but not overheat me. This silk comforter fits the bill. Soft and comfortable, it provides warmth when it's cooler out without overheating.

For $117.00 I expected this to be a little more, well, nicer. It feels like a run of the mill medium size comforter, but not fluffy at all (as shown by the picture). The outer fabric is not that soft. If it gets chilly I need a blanket along with this comforter to stay warm. A quality duvet will probably make this somewhat worthy. I'm just dissapointed, and i should have waited for more reviews to be posted. Oh well.American Mills 36986.343 Softplain Floor Pillow, 24-Inch

Foam Leg Pillow - Leg Elevator (Beige) (25"L X 20"W X 11"H)
Buy Foam Leg Pillow - Leg Elevator (Beige) (25"L X 20"W X 11"H) Now
I just received my pillow today and while it may be a little awkward to use, I eventually got the hang of it and I love it! However, it has that AWFUL foam odor.. to the point of giving me a headache. If it wasn't for the odor, I would have given it 5 stars. I plan to take the cover off and let it air out in the sun for a couple of days. Hopefully it will lesson the smell and I can start enjoying it again. It was quite pricey..$77 + shipping, so I'm a little miffed that it smells so bad. Other than that, it's the perfect height for elevating your legs above your heart, very comfortable and pain relieving!!Read Best Reviews of Foam Leg Pillow - Leg Elevator (Beige) (25"L X 20"W X 11"H) Here
note that the leg elevator only has about 1 inch of memory foam on top. but because the primary component is foam, it is really hard, and kind of uncomfortable.note that this company has great customer service and ensured my experience was top notch. highly recommend

I must prop my reconstructed ankle up every night for 8 weeks. By being able to remove the middle wedge, I got the pillow to the perfect height. Also, my leg and foot do not roll off the pillow in the night, and it is elevated and cradled so that my partner doesn't kick my foot as he thrashes around in the night. Also, a neat freak, I love it that I can wash the "pillow case," which is totally secured onto the pillow with a zipper system so that it can not slide off.Friday, August 15, 2014
Carex Contour Back Cushion
Things to keep in mind: The pillow is not too wide, and since it has a curvature it may not be the right fit for everyone. I'm medium/slim build, female, and this is just perfect for me. However, anyone who is larger build will have an issue feeling comfy with the cushion. Your back is likely to go off the pillow if you are larger, so please review dimensions and take measurments at home. Many pillows without the side inward curvature may be a better match if you are large build.
The product's image looks like royal blue, but the pillow is dark blue as described in the text.
This is a must have for people who spend a lot of their day sitting down, to keep posture correct instead of slouching.
UPDATE (October 8th, 2010): I initally gave 5 stars, and have changed to 3.
I recently bought Esther Gokhale's book "8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back: Natural Posture" to realize that although I wasn't slouching any more, this cushion was causing a sway in my back. I.e. too much curvature in the lower back which also causes problems. Although, I apparently feel comfortable with the cushion, my back pain has not gotten any better. I'm now trying Gokhale's techniques of a natural posture, learning what good posture is and what to correct as I sleep, sit and walk... and so far my back is getting better every day (and I'm only 1/3 of the book and putting the exercises gradually into practice for over a month). I was skeptical about the book, but didn't have anything to lose, and so far what she teaches makes perfect sense; I was just not conscious of my bad posture... like most people aren't. I recommend reading this book, and then decide what cushion is best for you. Gokhale sells her own cushion on her site. I bought one this week, only because I noticed that her posture correction is helping so greatly, so might as well try the cushion.
It is disappointing that we read this cushion is good, and then someone else says it is bad. Who is right? I guess we have to try both to find out, and I'm coming to the conclusion that correcting posture is the essential step. One spends so much with medical bills, and a book may be a cheaper solution all along.This cushion feels just like it should. However, I've never purchased one before and I didn't understand I would need a style with a strap to hold it in place on the back of my office chair. While I'm working, it slips off the side or sinks down between the back of the seat and the chair back.
I'll keep it to use while watching tv or reading, and I'm sure it will be great for that purpose. I'll buy one with a strap for my office chair.

I just bought my third one of these. I have one at home, one in our vacation condo, and now one for the car. It's a real life-saver for me; with chronic back problems (spondylolisthesis) I was very limited and in frequent back pain until I got these. The problem is chairs without proper lumbar support; the solution for me has been this product. I even take it to restaurants (in a small bag) so that I can relax and not have to leave in a hurry because my back is going out.NOTE: I do NOT advise getting the similar-looking "Carex Lumbar Support." It is smaller, much softer, and gives almost no support at all.I used this for my commute in the car and it's perfect! I raise it slightly so it hits above my hips. The contour shape hugs my back providing ultimate support and comfort. One slight fall back is when I wear a heavy winter coat the cushion is a little too snug but does not cause and discomfort. I am a big price comparison shopper and the price was comparable if not slightly lower to other stores.This cushion is fantastic and I suggest it to anyone who works on the computer all day long. Even if ur back isn't injured, it makes your chair 100000 times (really, that many) more comfortable. Worth the price to try!!

Sleep Studio Sleep Joy® ViscoFresh Memory Foam Advanced Contour Pillow
The green tea fragrance is barely noticeable, however I believe it keeps it from having that nasty "foamy smell" some others are known for. This pillow keeps its shape and supports perfectly. I was in an auto accident last year and have suffered from neck/shoulder pain since. This pillow has put an end to that!
I couldn't be more excited about this pillow!

I am throwing out my memory foam pillow that i bought to help my sleeping posture. I was hoping to alleviate chronic neck pain but it has been months and it never helped. In fact I think it has been making my neck problems worse rather than better. This pillow is MUUUCH better. So glad I came across it while browsing at my local Boscov's. It has a nice light, sweet minty smell kind of like mint chocolate chip ice-cream-i quite like it, it's better than a chemical odor most foams have. I love that this pillow is soft, not hard, yet it has a nice spongy feeling with good support. I definitely feel some relief from my chronic neck/shoulder pain when using this pillow. I am so relieved to be experiencing less pain at night, it sure is a welcome thing when you are trying desperately to sleep. In the morning I notice that my neck feels less compressed and it flexes better when i rotate from side to side so to me this is a sign that it really is helping my condition. I hope with continued use I feel more improvement, this pain has been with me well over a year now and it is really taking a toll on me.I don't know about the longevity of this pillow as i haven't owned it long enough. It has a 2 year warranty and i really hope it lasts that long. But honestly if it wears out in a year or even a few months i'll simply buy another. After what i've spent over the last year on numerous Dr. office visits, diagnostic tests, prescriptions and physical therapy i will spring for another $30 pillow if i need to.

I looked for a memoryfoam mattress topper for my daughter's dorm room. This one advertised it as an XL twin 80 x 36. The first one I purchased came in at 27 x 76. I called Amazon and they promptly took care of a return. I then re-ordered a new one and this one came in at 38 x 80. My daughter took it to college let me know it was about 2-3 inches too wide. For her not a problem she just cut it. Leave it to dorm room ingenuity. The density of the topper is excellent esp. for a dorm room where it'll only be use for 4 years. The quality is definitely worth the price. Also ship time was about 4 weeks and it was in within 10 days the second one arrived within a week.Want Sleep Innovations 2-Inch Memory Foam Twin XL Mattress Topper Discount?
I bought this memory foam topper for my son who's a freshman in college. He absolutely loves it. The XL twin mattresses in dorms are not necessarily built for comfort, so when my son asked for one of these, this one was the most affordable and most highly rated one I could find. He received it just a few days after he returned to school from Christmas break and immediately fell in love with it. I would highly recommend this for your college student or spare bed in your home. Although it's a 2 inch, my son says it feels more like 3. His only "complaint" was that his XL twin fitted sheet pops off the corners of his bed because of the extra added thickness. We solved that buy getting mattress clips for the corners. Wish I would've gotten this his first semester.Sunday, April 27, 2014
