Sultans Palace ~ Purple Blue Moroccan Medallion Print Pillow Sham 25x31

Sultans Palace ~ Purple Blue Moroccan Medallion Print Pillow Sham 25x31I gave a 3 rating mostly because of the high price. The beauty of the spread is self evident. I thought of purchasing the pillow shams, but at a price of over $66.00 for two, they are out of my price range. Ouch x 2!

Regal Comfort Super Soft Brushed Microfiber Sheet Set 1600 Thread Count

King Size Microfiber 1600 TC 6 Piece Sheet Set - Dark Khaki Colored -This is a must try for your self, feel , very comfy, washed many times and it still in new condition and soft. great deals and great price. This is an AWESOME sheets set!

I do not like these sheets. They feel very cheap. The fabric seems very thin and they are not very soft. They certainly do not feel like 1600 thread count sheets. I would not buy again. I am actually buying another set to replace this one. This product is a fine example of getting what you pay for.

I really like the sheets I got. For the money, they are very comfortable, they wash well, I was a little skeptical on the price if the quality would be good, but I am more than happy! I would buy them again, and just might, in another color!

Beautiful chocolate color and soft; however, after only a few washes, the sheets are now "picked" in several spots. Queen fitted is way too big for my Queen size bed even though I have a loft padded mattress. Not the same high quality as the melon/orange set I purchased previously.

Want Regal Comfort Super Soft Brushed Microfiber Sheet Set 1600 Thread Count Discount?

I see reviews saying microfiber isn't a quality material for sheets. I'm about as picky about quality and comfort as it gets, just shy of being a product snob, and I LOVE these. My husband hates sheets that make him hot, and I hate sheets that get wrinkled and/or aren't super soft. These were smooth, cool, and ridiculously soft. I have washed them multiple times and they have held up well. Thanks!

Autumn Chickadee Decorative Throw Pillow 17" x 17"

Autumn Chickadee Decorative Throw Pillow 17' x 17'A ordered this pillow as a final accessory for an 18 month long remodel. My thoughts were the PERFECT final piece. Much to my horror what I received wasn't even close. Instead of soft earthtones and cute little birdies, I received garish colors in strips and polyester. I immediately removed the offending pillow from the house, and contacted the vendor. Within days Ashley from Christmas Central (the vendor) was in touch by email and by week's end the correct pillow was Fedexed. Warehousing and "ship" happens but they were great in fixing the problem. Great pillow and great job Ashley!

Spiderman Sheet Set

Spiderman Full Sheet Set, 180 Thread CountAnd that is apparently, that is why these sheets are not that expensive. My 4 1/2 year old son wanted Spiderman sheets, so that's what we got. There aren't too many options when you need A)Spiderman and B)full size sheet set, so although I was initally thrilled to find them, I was not thrilled with their less-than perfect quality.

After a few (read: less than 2) washings, the fabric has several micro-fine tears in it, and I have checked my washer to make sure it was not from an issue there. The fabric seems very cheap and will I do not expect it to last more than a year at best.

My son was thrilled to get the sheets he wanted, but I do not think I would purchase them again.

The 160 thread count made in Pakistan sheet set cannot compare to the quality of a 600 thread count,of course, but since it was purchased for our visiting 5 year old grandson, it was fine. And not too many "fun" sheets are available in a full size like this one.

16.5L x 24.5W x 5H in. Rectangle Outdoor Toss Pillow - Set of 2

Pillow Perfect Decorative Black/Beige Damask Toss Pillow Rectangle, 2-PackThese pillows are a lot bigger than they appear in the pictures..they are lush and really pretty...they fit really nice on my couch in my living room and are comfortable to sit on...

These pillows were a good price, so I'll not be too mean here, but I did have to return the first pair for an exchange. The first pair were not properly printed and the print was blurry, or, doubled, if you will. The second pair appear to be printed correctly. The down-side to these is that they're not nice to touch. They feel like pillows meant for outdoor patio use. The fabric is thick and rough, with a vinyl, waterproof feel.

Cotton Bed Sheet Queen Pillowcases Set Home Decorations Bed Linen

Indian Decor Home Furnishings Bed Sheet Queen Cotton Pillowcases SetI find it sooo difficult to find unique sheet sets with regard to color and design. Much of what is out there I find to be quite plain and boring. I looked for a long time to find this sheet set, and was not disappointed. I love the vibrant colors and the unique pattern. I should mention that there is only a flat sheet with 2 pillowcases, but I paired the flat sheet with a yellow fitted sheet, and the colors work together very nicely.

This is a beautiful set. It is perfect in spring, summer and fall it is like sleeping in heaven.

Clean, simple elegance.

Handy Living Living Room Convert-A-Couch Microfiber

Handy Living CAC4-S1-AAA47 050 Living Room Convert-A-Couch Microfiber Sleeper Sofa With Pillow Top Arms, Crimson With 2 Decorative Decorative Throw PillowsUPDATE AFTER ONE YEAR AT THE END OF ORIGINAL REVIEW:

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

I am very pleased with this sofa-it came in a huge box that is the length of the sofa, and weighed about 100 pounds, so if ordered, I suggest having two people ready to carry it into your home. I live on the third floor, and without a very helpful neighbor, I would have had no chance to bring it in, as the UPS driver was unable to carry it with me.

So, I wasn't expecting a super high quality couch for under 500$, but I was pleasantly surprised that this one is solid and comfy when put together. I think a lot depends on how well you can put it together, because it does require assembly. It can be done by one or two persons, and my husband got it together in less than an hour, although he is very experienced with such things. Still, it is nice that the customer has the option to really put it together and make a solid couch. I suggest paying close attention to tightening all the bolts. There is no heavy work to do, just screwing in bolts with the included allen wrench, putting the box springs in, etc.

It comes in several pieces, and one thing that I think other customers might be concerned about is that the cover gets stuffed with the coil springs, and then just velcro-ed to the bottom. Really, it looks nice and you wouldn't know that it is just velcro-ed on, but I could see that being a bother to some people. Also, the arm cushions have a strip of velcro to hold them in position on the sides of the couch, and if you sit down vigorously, the velcro sometimes comes unfastened, which is a little annoying. I think it is necessary to have them like this so that it can fold down to a bed, but that is the least aesthetically appealing part of the whole thing. It folds nicely to a bed, and is comfy enough to sleep on. The microfiber cover is soft and nice, and looks contemporary and good.

This might not be important to all customers, but I read on the company website that they are relatively environmnentally friendly--From their website:

"Handy Living is building a new kind of sofa, one that can be delivered in a box to your doorstep, one that can sustain your family, and then help sustain the environment. All Handy Living sofas are designed with high quality components, but are also designed for responsible disposal after their useful life. No more sofas on the curb. Simply disassemble, separate the parts and recycle."

This is really great, because I have seen so many sofas being taken to the landfill to slowly break down. Also, I want to note that there is no chemical smell with this sofa, which others complained of in reviews for other sofas in this price range, but from different brands. That is important to me as well.

All-in-all, I would recommend this sofa to almost anyone looking for a quality sofa at a really great price, or to those who don't want to have to pay for expensive delivery. Delivery was free with amazon prime, which blew me away. I've never had such a large item delivered without a huge cost.

One final note: It takes a bit for the cushions to "decompress"what I mean is that when first out of the box, the cushions were compressed a lot, and have plumped up a lot after we put it together. The instructions (which were reasonably clear) said that they will fully decompress in 48-72 hours.

The only people I wouldn't recommend this for would be someone who couldn't handle the construction, and couldn't find someone to help. It is not especially difficult, but I am sure some people could struggle with it, especially to get the bolts tight enough. Still, I don't think many people will be disappointed. Sorry for the long review, but there were no reviews when I was shopping for sofas, and I wanted to include as much as possible. Comment if you have questions, and I will try my best to answer. Also, I will update after 6 months or so to see how well it holds up.

UPDATE AFTER 13 MONTHS: see comment below, or read the following. I would revise to give it 3.5 or 4 stars. Thanks!

It's been a little more than a year since we purchased this sofa, and I am still mostly happy with it. But there is one big issue, not with the cushions going flat, but with the springs get out of shape. This is largely because I tend to read while perched on the couch with my feet tucked under me, putting pressure sideways on the springs. Yes, my parents told me not to sit like that as a child, but I didn't heed their warnings and this caused an area of the couch to be pushed out of shape. The springs are individually set next to each other, so they can get bent sideways more easily. The quick fix for this problem was to turn the spring part around so that the part that was under the seat is now along the back rest, but this is still something that is a bit of a bother. It is still a comfortable and functional couch for the price, but I would not recommend it as wholeheartedly as I did a year ago. My husband said that if the springs were tied to each other somehow, this problem could be avoided. I will add that if you do not sit on it improperly, you might never have this issue. Also, as a guest sofa, or a sofa that is not used daily, it would likely last for a long long time. In addition, we do not have children, but I can imagine that they might get the springs out of whack as well. All in all, still a decent couch for the price. Much better than a horrible futon, and still glad that it is made in the USA. If you can afford it though, it might be worth holding out a little longer for a more expensive sofa. Happy couch hunting!

I bought this "convert-a-couch" last week, and it came very quickly. Too quickly in fact it arrived before I moved into my new apartment. But I suspect very few people would complain about that.

The couch is extremely comfortable and looks nice. The sage color on amazon is very accurate to what I received, and the neutral color goes well with anything and everything. Construction was easier than I expected, and I did it alone. With two people, you can have the couch together in no time.

As I'm waiting for my bed in my new apartment, I've been using the couch to sleep on, and it's amazingly comfortable. I read a review saying there is a gap between the seat and cover. I cannot see or feel one on mine, and I was laying diagonally on the couch. I slept soundly and just hope my bed is as comfortable. I imagine that that reviewer made a mistake in construction. There are a few extra sockets for screws when you put the couch together, and if you don't follow the instructions perfectly, you could possibly get a gap.

Upon completing the couch, I noticed a small tear in the cover. (Aside note: in construction they give you a microfiber cover to put over the cushions. This is what you see in the picture above with all the squares on the seat and back rest). However, I called the supplier, Handy Living, at 10:23 am. At 10:28 am, I was off the phone and a new cover was being sent to me. They are obviously very helpful, and it makes me feel more secure in my purchase.

For this price, it's really hard to beat the quality. I would give it 4.5 starts, knocking it down a little for the tear and the fabric feels a little thin. This is the perfect couch for someone who needs a nice looking, comfortable, convertible couch that will last them around 6-8 years.

I ordered this couch delivered to a vacation home on Chincoteague Island--it was delivered to the front door in the morning on the day promised (the day after my order) and it was waiting for me when I arrived. Reasonable straightforward to assemble--one person can do it. As with many to-be-assembled furniture items, you have to take care to keep the correct elements on the correct side and in the correct orientation. Also, for those who are no longer supple and limber, you'll go through the usual semi-contortionist movements to get some of the bolts in the right places--but, again, nothing unusual. The cushions are coil spring segments that look small when they're by themselves. The get stuffed into large "pockets" in the cover--and once stuffed into their pockets, they fill out the cover pretty nicely and create a normally-sized couch. It's firm and very comfortable. The padded armrests have velcro on the inside to stick to velcro on the arm structure--mine don't stay down very well (which leaves the black strip of the velcro somewhat exposed--not terribly aesthetically pleasing), but I assume that's because the couch is new and a bit stiff. I'd expect them to loosen up over time.

The couch unfolds to make a bed. It also has two settings for seating--one with the normal straight-backed orientation, and one reclined.

I'm very happy with this couch.

When I first received it, I loved it. I thought the cushions were the greatest thing, but they are not that durable. I convert the couch into a bed on a daily basis. It is my bed. Recently, I noticed that the cushions started to look a little flat so I figured that it was time to rotate them since I have own it about 4 months. Boy, was I surprised. The springs had broken through their individual pockets and were sideways. I had to "perform surgery" on the mattresses. I had to remove some of the springs and repair the pockets (some were torn to shreds). Then I had to thread them back into the pockets and sew them together for support. The mattresses also tore the inside of their cover. Luckily, the damage didn't go through the cover.

Perhaps I received defected mattresses, but at a cost of almost $500. I expected better.

I wish there was a way to have the mattresses replaced.

I have to say, this "convert-a-couch" is not really what I expected, but man is it comfortable! I heavily researched "futons" and such once I moved-in to my new apartment. Most futons are crappy couches and crappier beds. Other pull-out sofas are better couches, but worse beds. This convert-a-couch is a great couch and a better bed! It uses a spring mattress instead of just a cotton-stuffed cushion, and it's from a great, green, somewhat-hippy company that I sorta relate to and support. It's less than the price of a real couch, but serves two purposes pretty well. It takes a while to assemble, and I don't see it lasting me 10 years, but I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I won't be buying a bed/mattress after all!

17x17 Cluster Fiber Pillow Form Insert

17x17 Cluster Fiber Pillow Form InsertI love this pillow! It fits my 16x16 pillow case perfectly and is very soft. The cluster fiber filling is very springy, retains its shape and loft, and there has been no lumping or shifting. If you need a pillow form for a 16x16 pillow case, I can't recommend this pillow enough.

I am very pleased with the quality of this pillow form. I bought it to replace the extra hard one supplied in an expensive pillow that I could barely lie down on. Now I have it just right. A nice looking pillow that I can use to take a nap on.

Sleep Innovations Rejuvenation Memory Foam Pillow

Sleep Innovations Rejuvenation Memory Foam PillowThe Sleep Innovations Rejuvenation Pillow seems to be of excellent quality. It comes with a tight fitting, but very soft, cover that can be removed for washing. The pillow is constructed from a single piece of foam that provides the user with stability without being hard. For those that like the yield that a conventional pillow provides upon pressure, the Sleep Innovations Rejuvenation pillow offers a similar "sinking into softness and comfort" type of feeling. Some memory foam pillows are so heavy that they could be used as weapons, if thrown. While of a decent weight, I think you would survive if this were thrown at you. The pillow is not huge. Most standard pillowcases are 20 inches by 26 inches and this pillow is 15 inches by 20 inches.

I have to be selective about the pillows I use as I suffer from very painful neck spasms that I think are partially attributable to odd head placements when I sleep -I need a pillow that provides stability while catering to my preference for softness. I begin sleeping on my back and then sleep on my side for the remainder (and majority) of the night. I've gone through a lot of pillows. Some include the Duro-Med Stress-Ease Pillow Support, White and Sleep Studio Memory Foam Contour Pillows, Set of 2 and Simmons Beautyrest Memory Foam Standard Pillow. I presently use a 100% Cotton Multi-Position Boomerang Pillow. My husband sleeps almost exclusively on his back and likes pillows that are on the denser side and presently uses a Sleep Studio Memory Foam Contour Pillows, Set of 2.

My husband and I have differing opinions about this Sleep Innovations pillow. He loves it. He thinks it provides great support for the neck and believes that the pillow cradles the neck in a natural position. This pillow does not work for me though. Again, I only sleep on my back for a bit of time and I liked it a lot while resting in that position. When I flipped to my side, however, I could not get my head positioned correctly. My mouth fell on the crest of the neck roll. It did not feel right because it wasn't right -the crest of the neck roll is supposed to be at the base of the neck. I would extend my head over the neck roll and fall asleep only to wake up and find my mouth on the crest of the neck roll and my head crooked awkwardly. I've relinquished this pillow to my husband. The initial words out of his mouth the last two mornings were praises for the pillow. In addition to the stability it provides, he likes that it stays cool throughout the night. I wish I could have used it. It is very soft and does feel great when I am resting on my back.

According to literature provided with the pillow, all memory foam is sensitive to temperature and this particular pillow is designed to be optimal above 62 degrees. At temperatures below 62 degrees, the user can expect a firmer pillow. Such firmness should soften, as the user's body own temperature will alleviate the firmness of the pillow.

The pillow's cover has a one year limited warranty. The foam has a five year limited warranty.

The foam portion of this product is made in the United States. The cover is made in China.

I have been incredibly impressed with this Sleep Innovations pillow. I used to have a memory foam pillow years ago, loved it at first, but tired of it quickly because it held in heat, lost its shape and deformed, and made it difficult to sleep in any position other than flat on my back. So, I was wary about trying another. I got the Rejuvenation pillow as a gift and was completely blown away because all the things I mentioned above were not issues with this pillow. And despite the fact that it's actually quite a tall pillow with the neck support contours, my head just melted into it comfortably with the pillow staying quite cool. In the morning, I felt better than I had in years. Sleeping on my side is also very comfortable because it's so soft (yet firm at the same time). I love this pillow!

Buy Sleep Innovations Rejuvenation Memory Foam Pillow Now

We bought these memory foam pillows (Rejuvenation) and though I'm 6'2" tall, it was quite tall for my taste. The pillow is actually rather hard and I like softer pillows (I now realize). The problem for me is that I can't sleep on my back as I wake myself up snoring... so I'm a side sleeper. BUT if I were a back sleeper, then this pillow would be great... When I tried to sleep on either side, I had no room for my arm... my arm was beneath me and my arm quickly fell asleep waking me up. (In fact, I looked on the brochure/instructions and you can't tell where the model's lower arm WAS in the photos... did she only have one arm? LOL) On a normal pillow, my arm is below my head but well padded by my pillow.

My wife felt that it was just too tall for her taste. We tried to let the foam go down/deflate to where we liked it, but it never did go down far enough. Also, they feel really hard... if you touch them they are hard to the touch one needs to lay on it for a while until the air comes out to mold... but after they slowly mold, they are still too high for both of us.

The quality appears good and well-made.

I don't know why we bought these pillows as we don't have trouble sleeping, but they looked hi-tech and we wanted to try something different. Sadly, we returned them to the store.

I found out about Sleep Innovations® from their connection to the SheCon blogger conference. Sleep Innovations® brought in Olympic Swimmer Dara Torres to talk with mom bloggers about the importance of sleep. Although I did not go to SheCon, I heard from other bloggers that the talk helped them to realize that we parents should take better care of ourselves and invest in good sleep products.

Science and Technology create the Rejuvenation Pillow...

The Rejuvenation Pillow align your head and neck by giving you the correct shoulder, neck and head support. According to the product website -

"Ordinary pillows can restrict your breathing, pressure on your chest increases, and you awaken stiff and tired. The Rejuvenation(tm) Pillow from Sleep Innovations® was designed by sleep scientists to correct these problems."

The pillows contour shape is said to be at an ideal 18-degree angle to improve breathing through your nose and mouth.

Not for Stomach Sleeping...

I have been using the pillow for the past two weeks instead of my old pillow and I have a few observations. It took me a while to get used to the pillow because I am a creature of habit good or bad. I have been sleeping in the same positions for most of my life so it took me a few nights to adjust to having a pillow properly align my shoulders, neck and head.

Also I tend to sleep on my stomach, which is definitely not a sleep position that this pillow is meant for. This pillow is designed for someone that sleeps exclusively on their back or side. Because of the 18-degree angle, the pillow actually forced me to sleep on my back or side and stopped me from sleeping on my stomach.

Once I settled in, I found I much prefered this pillow to my old one and a woke without the stiff neck. I have also found that this pillow is perfect for propping up my head while working on my laptop while in bed or while watching television.

Want Sleep Innovations Rejuvenation Memory Foam Pillow Discount?

I like this pillow, I really do. I like the memory foam and I find that I really do get a good night's sleep now. But......I still can't get used to the feel of this pillow while I'm awake. It's an odd shape that takes (for me, anyway) quite a bit of getting used to. I don't fall asleep when my head hits the pillow anymore. I can't because I spend the first 4 or 5 minutes getting used to the feel of this pillow underneath my head. It's not uncomfortable, but it is awkward. Once I'm asleep, though, I'm asleep. I don't wake up to adjust the pillow (which I used to do!) Overall, I like it but I kind of wish it was a more normal shape.

Brentwood Faux Suede 2-Inch Foam Chairpad

Brentwood Faux Suede 2-Inch Foam Chairpad, BlackThis was really comfy on my solid wood chair. But it quickly lost any cushion after only a short cumulative duration of sitting.

I ordered this based on the reviews; unfortunately this is one of the times they really steered me wrong. After just (1) 8-1/2 hour day this thing was flat as a pancake. Even after returning the next day the foam had not returned to shape it was still flat and provides no cushion at all. I guess its true you get what you pay for this seat cushion is cheap in price and performs as well as should be expected for the price. I'll have to pay more and hopefully the next one will last more than 1 day.

Buy Brentwood Faux Suede 2-Inch Foam Chairpad Now

My desk chair is an antique made of hard wood. I purchased a foam pad at "Bloodbath and Beyond" a couple of months ago, it had ties to hold it to the back of the chair within a week one of the ties had torn loose. My boyfriend (really) sewed it back on, but it was torn again in a few days. Okay, I decided ties are not the answer and looked for one with a nonskid backing. That search led me to this one, and it's PERFECT!! Better than the other one in terms of firmness of the foam (it definitely feels comfortable but not too squishy) and it stays in place on the chair without ties. The other one actually wormed around a lot. Why tie a cushion to the chair? The ties are ugly, and the cushion still moves? Duh! This one is a huge improvement! Nice looking, doesn't move, and feels GREAT on my bum while sitting for hours at the computer. VERY happy with this purchase. Oh, one comment about the color I ordered "gold", because I really wanted beige and the photo looked very beigy and I was right it's not "gold" at all it's a neutral beige. Perfect for me but worth mentioning in case someone had an actual "gold" motif going and had expectations...

UPDATE: Okay, I've been told that is IS "goldish" in color, so I don't want to discourage sales of this color for those of you who may indeed call this color "gold". Can we just say it's "beige-ish gold"? :)

This producr was exactly what the description said it would be. This pad is made from a nice foam. Some sites have described the Brentwood pads as "memory foam" but Amazon's description is honest. The cover is soft and so far any dirt has been easily brushed off. The dots on the back do hold the cushion in place, but don't expect them to keep this thing still if you have a squirmy child using it. Of course the real test will be whether the foam holds up over time ...

Pads are about 2 inches thick. That is about an inch thinner than other pads we have owned. We think they look better that way. Less like a pillow and more like a pad. The color is actually a little darker than shown. Which for us works great. We have owned them about a month now. No problems. Pad s do not not slide. Comfortable. Good looking. Well made.

The NeckPillow by Tempur-Pedic King Medium Tempur Pedic Neck Pillow 34 x 14 x 4

The NeckPillow by Tempur-Pedic King Medium Tempur Pedic Neck Pillow 34 x 14 x 4Bought this neck pillow for my husband for his birthday. He loves it! No more pain in the neck. Lol. King pillow cases are a tad short for it...

Unfortunately this pillow was a waste of money for me. I had two issues which made it unusable:

First, the smell never entirely dissipated and caused allergy problems for my husband. They claim that these are hypo-allergenic, but this was not the case for us.

Second, this actually CAUSED me to develop neck pain. I've used cheaper foam pillows in the past with no problem, but something about this one wreaked havoc on my neck. I stopped using the pillow after about a month and the pain was gone in a week!

This was an extremely disappointing experience, made even more so by Tempur-Pedic's refusal to accept returns and lack of concern with the issues caused.

Our family has used these pillows for over 15 years and we would not do without them. We all have cervical spine problems ranging from mild to severe, and these pillows help keep us going. We've tried some other "memory foam" brands along the way, but they do not maintain their thickness and shape, or provide the degree of support that these do. We're getting ready to buy three new ones to replace our oldest ones.

Fun In The Sun and Surf Decorative Tapestry Toss Pillow

Fun In The Sun and Surf Decorative Tapestry Toss PillowThe Fun in the Sun and Surf tapestry pillow arrived much smaller than I imagined. It is only 11x6 but i put it in front of a larger pillow and it blends great. The colors compliment my seafoam green couch and the image is very detailed.

I should have read the whole description! This is a very nice throw pillow but the tiniest throw pillow I have ever seen!

Bed-De-Bug Bed bug proof Mattress Encasement

Bed Bug Pillow Cover 2 Per Packadge Size 21X27After hearing the horror stories about friends and relatives who had gotten bed bugs I decided to be proactive and get the covers before I was hit with Bed Bugs.

Other covers I ordered felt like I was sleeping on a plastic bag.

The Bed-De-Bug covers say that the are "Woven for comfort" and its true! They are breathable yet still bed bug proof.

Bed bug covers can help prevent you from getting bed bugs as bed bugs like to sleep as close to their food (that's us!)as they can. If they cant get into your mattress Because of a bed bug proof mattress cover they will likely go into your linen and bedding instead. As most people wash their linen and bedding every 2-6 weeks. The wash will kill them before they have a chance to populate.

I bought theses as a preventative measure and they worked. Easy to put on and very comfortable, Other covers can make you feel like your sleeping on plastic.

My husband and I just moved in to a new apartment. Our neighbor two doors over told us that the previous tenants of our apartment had a bed bug problem. We were frantic and spent the night at my parents'. The whole next day I did some shopping and tons of research. I was hesitant to buy a bed bug cover online, but bed de bug is top of the line at a great price. (I spoke with some stores who wanted to sell me covers at $200!!-we just couldn't afford that.)I ordered them online that day and they came two days later. My husband and I have been bed bug free. The mattress covers work great and are so comfortable! Now we are ordering carpets for our new apartment!! :)

We love our cases. They are soft and quiet, so it's like you don't have that extra material between the pillow and case. Good purchase.

Stork Craft Tuscany Glider and Ottoman

Stork Craft Tuscany Glider and Ottoman, Espresso/Beige***EDITED AGAIN 5/14/12***

And now the chair is kaput. I was rocking my now-almost-2-year-old as part of our bedtime routine and suddenly there was a crashing/cracking noise and we dropped an inch or two. I figured one of the bolts had fallen out (it's happened before) but one of the bearings had been ripped away from the chair, leaving damage to the wood. It might be fixable, but honestly, I'm sick of replacing screws and bolts when they fall out and constantly tightening and WD-40ing this thing to keep it in working order. I really wanted this chair to be a good cheaper alternative to a more expensive rocker and it just didn't work out. :( Probably going to put it out to the curb tomorrow and go buy a recliner. So disappointed to be tossing the chair I've been rocking my little one to sleep in every night for the better part of two years!

***EDITED 10/3/11****

Well, we've had the glider for the better part of a year now, and sadly, it has not held up. It is now squeaking constantly no matter how much we tighten and WD-40. We still rock our 14-month-old nightly as part of our bedtime routine, and it's now annoying and feels kind of rickety. Unfortunately, the quality has just not stood the test of time. I'm really sorry to say that, because I wanted to love this chair and it is very comfortable to sit in. Our Shermag, which also gets daily use, works as well as it did the day we got it. If anything, I think the rocking motion has gotten smoother on it over time. I mentioned in the original review that I thought the Shermag would outlast the Stork Craft, but I didn't think the SC would poop out THIS soon! The SC would be a great rocker for grandma's house, but if you plan on rocking for more than a few months, this one is a waste of money, sorry to say. You're better off investing in a good one up front.

*****

We already have a $300 Shermag rocker that we use in our nursery, and we got the Stork Craft Tuscany Glider/Ottoman when we wanted a 2nd chair but had less of a budget. Here are the main differences:

--The Shermag is noticeably "plusher". The cushions are much, much softer. The Stork Craft has a pretty crunchy foam seat that needed to be broken in (not a lengthy process -I kneeled on the cushion a few times before putting it on the seat). If, like me, you appreciate a firm cushion, you won't think this is a problem. Both chairs are attractive, and the quality of the Stork Craft fabric is nicer than I expected for the price point.

--The Shermag is heavier and sturdier. I would be surprised if it didn't outlast the Stork Craft. (Hey, you get what you pay for!)

--The Stork Craft was MUCH easier to assemble. Many fewer steps as the ottoman and bottom part of the chair (the glider) were fully assembled in box. My only complaint re: the assembly is that a hole was not drilled where it should have been to connect the left arm of the chair to the base. Each arm attaches in three places, and I found it to be sturdy enough without the third bolt that I didn't bother returning it. Next time my dad is over, I'll have him bring his drill and fix it for me ... no biggie. In the meantime, the arm doesn't wiggle with regular use.

--Yes, the Stork Craft squeaks. It squeaks loudly enough to render it completely unusable. My dog actually came running in from the other room the first time I used it and started barking at the chair because she thought it was an animal, ha! The squeaking comes from the bolts on the glider part of the chair. I sprayed some WD-40 on the joints, and voila! No squeaking. If anything, I would say the gliding motion is now smoother than my Shermag.

--The seats are different sizes. Once you have all the cushions and padding on, the Stork Craft seat is 18 inches across at the armrests and 17 inches deep, vs. the Shermag's 20 inches across and 20 inches deep. The back of the seat is longer on the Stork Craft -28 inches vs. 26. I am short and slightly overweight (5'4 with a long torso/short legs, size 14) and the Stork Craft fits me much better. However, I am sure the Shermag would be much more comfortable for a tall/long-legged woman, an average man, or someone more heavyset.

--The Shermag has a lever to lock the chair in place, which I need on that chair to stand up smoothly while holding a sleeping baby since I have to scoot forward before I can touch the floor. The Stork Craft doesn't have the locking mechanism, and I thought I would miss it; but since the seat actually fits my legs, I have no problem getting in and out of the chair gracefully. (And believe me, that's a feat!)

Overall, yes, the quality is obviously nicer on a more expensive chair. But the only dealbreaker for me was the squeaking, and it was an easy, $5 fix. If you are petite and looking for a nice, inexpensive rocker, this will definitely suit your needs! If you are tall/heavyset, you will definitely need to invest in a different chair.

It took my wife and I a lot of searching to find the glider that was right for us. With warnings about ordering online from Target due to the potential nightmare delays that they have, we opted to order through Amazon. We wanted to spend less than $200 and we were hoping for something that was great quality and looked nice too. I believe that we found everything we were looking for in the Stork Craft Tuscany Glider. Having something in Espresso was a must, and there are not too many gliders out there in Espresso in this price range. We paid $190 for it shipped. I also wasn't about to pay $50-$75 dollars in shipping. We live in California, and the product shipped from Washington State in about 3 days. Once shipped, it only took 4 days to get to us, which I think is pretty quick. The chair came with very simple instructions to follow, and all of the pieces and hardware fit nicely together. I was able to set it up while talking on the phone with my wife...which says a lot because I am a guy and have trouble multi-tasking. The quality of materials is very good, but it's not the most comfortable glider that I have tested. We use a small rectangular pillow that accents our babies' room while providing some needed lower back support. With the pillow there it's a very comfortable chair. We have not had a chance to test it with our baby yet, but so far we have been pleased with it. it comes with a high back for good head and neck support, as well as with 2 pockets for storage. The espresson finish on the wood matches perfectly with our espresson baby furniture. If you are looking for a great quality glider and don't have to have the absolute best one out there then this could be a perfect match for you. I believe it is the perfect combination of looks, quality, comfort and affordability that is out there. Thanks for reading.

I bought this glider in the espresso/beige for my son's nursery. It is big, soft, cushiony, and looks nice. I like that with these colors I can use it in another room once we don't have a nursery anymore. Quality-wise, it is just about as good as my $600 custom made Dutalier glider that's in my daughter's nursery.

I researched gliders for months, looking for one that was reasonably priced, matched my nursery and had positive reviews. I thought I had found it with this Tuscant glider but am very dissappointed now that I have it.

The glider is a great price and it matched my nursery perfectly. There was no shipping cost which was fantastic. The glider arrived within days of ordering it and it was very easy to put together. I did it at 9 months pregnant alone. Now comes the drawbacks....

After just 2 weeks this glider squeeks loudly. We used WD 40 on every possible place it could squeek and it did not help. It is kinda impossible to rock a baby to sleep in a chair that makes a ton of noise, plus at 3:30am the last thing I want to hear besides a baby crying is a terrible squeeking noise. The other drawback is the fabric is itchy. I generally sit it the chair with just a nursing bra, so my back rest on the fabric and it very uncomfortable.

This was the best priced glider I found, but in hindsight I wold have spent more to not have the troubles I have now with this glider. I was so excited about this purchase but now I regret buying this glider.

Hope this review is helpful.

I purchased this glider for my son's nursery, primarily so I had a place to breastfeed while we had company over. I am very pleased with this glider. It was easy to assemble, glides smoothly, and is plenty roomy not only for me to nurse in, but for my husband to sit in (he is 6'1" and 235 lbs.). The fabric is not as good quality as my microfiber couches (a little thinner), but for the money you can't beat it. The wood matches all of the other "Espresso" nursery furniture pretty closely. I am very happy with this purchase.

1/2013 I've had this glider now for 3 years and 2 kids. I still love it, and rock with my daughter in it nightly. The cushioning and fabric has held up well. Still loving it!

SilverRest Sleep Shop Blue Visco for Kids Standard Size Memory Foam Comfort Pillow, 25-Inch by 19-In

SilverRest Sleep Shop Blue Visco for Kids Standard Size Memory Foam Comfort Pillow, 25-Inch by 19-InchMy husband and I have a tempur-pedic bed and we also bought a tempur-pedic pillow at the same time. We were always fighting over the pillow but didn't really want to spend $120 more to buy another one so I ordered this pillow. I can't tell the difference between the two and neither can my husband. It is so comfortable and over half the cost of the tempur-pedic! We will probably be buying another one soon.

This is the highest pillow I have ever owned. It is so huge for my small son I thought it must have been the wrong product. I could barely shove it into the standard size pillow encasement I bought. I am terrified that it will damage my sons back and am trying to quickly find a replacement. Only positive is that it doesn't shift around on his bed due to its amazing weight. Not sure how anyone could call this child sized, it's about 3x as high as my memory foam pillow.

For a kid pillow they are rather large and very heavy. They don't stay in a standard pillow case very well either.

Great pillow! Good price for memory foam, especially for a kids pillow. Cover on pillow is nice and soft and appears it will wash well when needed. My son loves them! Also received them quickly.

Pacific Coast Double Down Surround Standard Pillow -Featured in Many Ritz-Carlton ® Hotels

Pacific Coast Double Down Surround Standard Pillow -Featured in Many Ritz-Carlton ® HotelsI've been having regular neck pain and searching for a good pillow for some time. I found these while on a business trip in a hotel and given the wonderful night's sleep I enjoyed, I had to order one for home.

I usually sleep on my side, and the problem with most down pillows (although they are wonderfully comfy) is that they flatten to nearly nothing, leaving my neck angled and shoulder scrunched. This pillow has done much better for me than most I've tried, at least so far. It still squishes some, which is comfy and more versatile than stiffer pillows, but it is definitely more supportive than other down pillows, probably due to the "double pillow construction" touted on the website.

So far I'm really enjoying this pillow. I'll update the review if anything changes over time.

Reviews on Amazon were great and my husband is very picky about his down pillows. Pillow turned out as good as promised. Just the right consistency and we would highly recommend to others.

I bought this for my husband but I wasn't about to pay $150 for a pillow. This was one of the few pillows in the mid-price range. He really likes this pillow, it is soft but keeps some support too. I'm thinking about getting another one for myself.

I have been looking for a good pillow for months. I was encouraged when I read the reviews of this pillow and even though it was a bit expensive for a pillow I bought 2. They didn't last a week! They didn't hold their shape and are not supportive at all. I am mostly a side or back sleeper. I now have to put another pillow under it to support my head. Not sure I would buy another Pacific Coast Down product after this!
