Danica Studio Cushion

Danica Studio 12 by 12-Inch Cushion, Tally HoWe purchased these for the playroom. Yes, they are small, but look at a ruler before ordering. They tell you the size. They have stood up great to abuse from my 19 month old and still look great.

These pillows are really adorable and colorful in person. I do wish they came in a bigger size than 12x12. But I love how colorful they are. The covers on the pillows have a zipper and are removable so you can wash them when needed. The pattern gives off a 70's vibe to me and looks vintage. :)

Caldera Neck Rest / LARGE / COLOR BLACK/L

Caldera Neck Rest / LARGE / COLOR BLACK/L
  • Neck & Shoulder Releaf
  • Use while Traveling, Reading, Sleeping, Working on Computers and More.
  • Comfortable and Stylish
  • Temporarily Supports the Weight of your head.

Purchased this for a long 12 hr flight and found it comfortable for the first 3-4 hrs. then it began to sag. Just not firm enough, but love that it's not bulky and looks ok when you have it on, unlike others that make you look a patient with a broken neck (lol). I would recommend this for people with small neck and want just enough support.

This is a wonderful product. It really does what it is designed to do. Just be sure to wash it first.

Used this on a trip over to Europe. It didn't keep my neck completely straight on the plane but definitely helped me from getting neck cramps. Was most useful when using another pillow against the window.

Leachco Snoogle Loop Contoured Fit Body Pillow Replacement Cover, Ivory

Leachco Snoogle Loop Contoured Fit Body Pillow Replacement Cover, IvoryWas pretty upset thought it was the actual pillow itslef. Thats what happens when you dont fully read. :( But other than that recieved this product in great condition and on time.

For the third trimester I have used this every day to get some decent sleep so having a pillowcase cover change was essential.

However, this product gets 3 stars versus 4 or 5 because it is VERY difficult to change the pillow cover, almost a ridiculous challenge. The design needs a zipper for easy pull on and off. Plus the curved inside seams at the ends are pulled so tight that it feels uncomfortable when laying on the body.

This saved me from back and hip ache throughout pregnancy. It was so comfy and I used it in bed as well as napping during the day on the couch etc. Make sure you have somewhere to store it though when not in use as it is a large product. Really glad I bought this. The only downside is that it is really quite difficult to change covers/pillow slips.

Goodbye, Mr. Despair (Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei) Abiru 13.5" X 21" Body Pillow

Goodbye, Mr. Despair Abiru 13.5' X 21' Body PillowThis pillow should NOT be described as a body pillow. It is incredibly small so unless you're buying it for an infant (which I obviously wouldn't recommend) then it needs to be relabeled. Honestly, it's not much bigger than an airline pillow. On the flip side, the graphics are very nice & the pillow seems quite durable. Oh & the vacuum sealed packaging is fantastic for shipping.

FOUR (4) Five-Star Hotel Collection Down Alternative Sleeping Pillows

FOUR Five-Star Hotel Collection Down Alternative Sleeping Pillows - Standard SizePillows are ridiculously expensive. I ordered these pillows and was pleasantly surprised. The picture makes them a look more luxorious than they really are, but for the price, they're pretty great. They're fluffy, they have good shape and they're comfortable. I would buy them again and I recommend them to anyone who, like me, does not want to break the bank buying pillows.

Very nice pillows for the cost. Well made, fluffy and soft without going flat when laying on it. I'm a stomach sleeper, my husband is a side sleeper and we both really agree they are very comfortable pillows . We didn't go wrong with this product. Fast delivery and packaged well too.

I found these very big and fluffy like in the picture. I also can sleep at night now without all the allergy issues. I sleep longer and wake up without headaches and stuffy sinuses. I purchased 4 thinking I'd have to put two in a single pillowcase but not so. I have a visual ton of pillows now.

Want FOUR (4) Five-Star Hotel Collection Down Alternative Sleeping Pillows Discount?

Only had them for a couple days so far but I am very picky when it comes to pillows I tend to roll around a lot and sleep on side/back/stomach whatever I feel like at the moment. So I tend to have trouble finding pillows that work no matter which way I lay. These are really great though. They are super plushy but still have a great amount of support. And like down pillows, you can kind of mush them into whatever shape you want for support/comfort. 4 of these for the price is just a great deal.

Nature's Rest Natural Feather Jumbo Pillows, 2-Pack

Nature's Rest Natural Feather Jumbo Pillows, 2-PackThey are much better quality than the price suggests! My son loves them! They are very soft and firm at the same time!

These pillows are MADE IN USA!That alone is pretty amazing,but the quality is very good for the cost.It is very difficult to buy a pillow,let alone on line,but with Amazons simple and fair policy,it was a no brainer.Turns out they were exactly as described.

The description suggested a softer pillow,reviews suggested great for "side/stomach"sleepers.They are perfect for the price,in fact they are not too "fluffy"making it easier to "wrap around".I was hesitant as the description said "feather stuffed"and I know down is supposedly best,but FYI the DO NOT REMOVE TAG indicates a fill of 95%duck feathers and 5%down,so they contain natural stuffing.For the price,you can't go wrong,even if they don't suit your sleeping habits,they are clean accent pillows on the cheap.Go for it!

Pillow 18inch Square Bullion Earthtone

Pillow 18inch Square Bullion EarthtoneI have purcahsed a total of 5 pillows with the "Earthtone" title and I absolutely love them. The fabric is heavy and thick. If you look close, this pillow has a tapestry border. The center is closer to a goldie tan, looks more cream in the picture. The gold tone is dark, on the butterscotch side. The tapestry has a small hint of copper, with a tiny bit of a faded black. The other pillows I purchased in this line were on this website, and I found two others named "Francine" and "Alexandra" online. These are so pretty in person, and so much better than the ones in the department stores going for sky high prices. Hope this helps someone with the colors, even though the online info was a bit vague, I took a chance and ordered them.

Shredded Latex Pillow With Organic Cotton Covering

Natural Latex Cushion Pillow with Organic Cotton CoveringThese came so fast I couldn't believe it, so kudos for that. They are very comfortable pillows with a unique feel. They did smell strongly like vitamins or something at first but thankfully that dissipated.

If only negative star ratings were an option.

This pillow is not at all like the product description. The filling that is shown in the photo is far from that which is actually inside the pillow. I opened the pillow because I felt a number of hard objects within the "stuffing", only to find bits & pieces of... I don't know what. Burnt pieces of latex, plastic??? There were a number of pieces of latex that looked like foam earplugs. It was shocking to say the least!

Knowing the return policy (I pay return shipping & 15% re-stocking fee), I knew I was stuck with this pillow & wanted to make it work. I emptied out the contents removing anything that looked suspect or was as hard as a rock. I filled a small cup with the items removed.

As for sleeping on this "pillow"...It has been four(4) months & it has gotten progressively worse/unbearable. It is extremely uncomfortable at this point. The latex clumps together forming extreme peaks & valleys inside the case. No amount of shifting, punching & fluffing can remedy it. Once my head is resting on the pillow, everything starts to clump again.

I knew going into this there was a risk. Purchasing a pillow online is a gamble. But I have NEVER been so completely duped by a company!!! Organic Textiles makes many a claim as to the quality of their latex. They state the "flakes" are "fine, yet supportive". Never have two statements been further from the truth!

Do yourself a huge favor & STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!!!!

Elite Home Collection 6-Piece Dobby Dot 600 Thread-Count Cotton Rich Sateen Sheet Set

Elite Home Collection 6-Piece Dobby Dot 600 Thread-Count Cotton Rich Sateen Full Sheet Set, SageThese are nice sheets. There are a little sateeny for my taste, but very soft and comfortable to sleep on. The dot pattern consists of subtle square dots a few millimeters in size and is a more contemporary style. The only drawback is that my mattress is not deep enough for the fitted sheet. The sheet will tend to creep a little. No issues after several washings.

I love these sheets. The cost was perfect, the touch of the fabric is soft, and it has enough sheets and pillow cases that fit nice.

We have a king size bed, so getting sheets that fit and are a reasonable price is difficult at best, you buy cheap sheets the fitted sheet almost never fits, we have spent a lot more on sheets to have them wear out in record time. When these sheets arrived we washed them, you will want to do that, they have a odor, perhaps the packaging?? After washing we put them on, first impression were that they were a bit on the stiff side, after a few nights they were much better, and the the second wash....well let's put it this way...I will never buy any other sheets.

Egyptian Bedding 800 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Sheet Set, Full, White StripePerhaps buying something relevant to how it feels isn't something I should have purchased online, but rather in a store.

That said, I love the white on white stripe of these sheets. They fit my standard full bed well and stay putno pulling out of the corners or anything.

But, they are about 60% thinner than 500 Thread Count sheets I'd bought in a department store.

Also, they arrived with no note inside the packaging about how to return or exchange them.

Sangean RCR-22 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio (White)

Sangean RCR-22 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio
  • Radio controlled clock automatically sets itself
  • Separate weekday alarm
  • 14 station presets-7 FM and 7 AM
  • Adjustable separate nap and sleep timers
  • Humane Waking System buzzer

I was looking for a high-quality alarm clock after about 12 years with an unimpressive Sony Dreammachine. This clock delivered on that front, and unlike most consumer electronics devices I've purchased in the past several years, it is clear that lots of thought was put into this device (and very little into the manual).

PROS:

There are tons of little nuances that the manual does not detail that I've discovered using the clock for a few weeks. For example the display can be dimmed with a dial on the bottom (which on my unit did not take effect until my alarm goes off the first time). The clock remains dimmed at your preset level, but goes to full brightness when the alarm goes off, making the clock easier to find. Combined with the pleasing blue light and the HWS (makes the alarm bell go from soft to loud) it's really nice to wake up to.

Another thoughtful touch is that alarm indicators only light within 24 hours of your alarm. Either alarm can be set to go off on particular days, with any combination of Su-Sa set for each alarm (i.e. alarm1 can be set for Monday, Thursday and Sunday, no weekday/weekend restrictions like some others). The alarm indicators however only light up when your alarm will ring the next morning. Very nice.

Other functions like the snooze, nap timers, etc. all work well. Like most alarms you need some time to figure out how it works, but after a few mornings most functions were intuitive.

The radio functions well, and pulls in way more stations than the Dreammachine. The speaker is fine, that is to say neither exceptionally good or exceptionally poor. If I want the ultimate music experience, I have an expensive stereo for that.

The clock is a true atomic time clock (not just a "preset" clock like many others). I don't know all the nuances of atomic cock synchronization, but the weather and location of the antenna seem to affect the two atomic clocks I have at home. Try moving the antenna towards the window if you have problems.

CONS

It is nicer than average plastic and construction, but still not going to win any design awards. I can't figure out why all alarm clock designs are frozen in 1992.

The manual was clearly written by a bunch of engineers. It is no nonsense, and explains how to set/use everything, but does not mention any of the usability features I noted above. For example if it's Monday and you set an alarm for thursday, You might wonder why the alarm indicators do not all light up. No mention at all in the manual. I thought the clock was broken since the dimmer did not function until the first time an alarm went off. Again, no mention in the manual of what turned out to be a very nice feature, and one I almost returned the clock for!

Another example is the unwieldly "Time Machine" antenna for the atomic clock. It is big and odd looking, but fits nicely to the back of the clock. Again, no mention in the manual save for a single line drawing.

When I initially plugged the clock in, all kinds of crytic numbers flashed on the display while it synced the time, again, no mention of what was happening or why in the manual. The manual does tell you how to DO everything, but does not explain WHY certain things work the way they do, or explain the various nice features someone clearly took time to think through.

Overal a great buy, especially for something you'll likely use every day for 5-15 years. I would like to see a better manual, autodimming of the display (it is BRIGHT when set to max), Sangean using a designer that is somewhat current, and perhaps a user manual rewrite, other than that, this clock works very well and will be on my nightstand for years to come.

I agonized over what to put on my nightstand (everything from Bose to Timex) and am very happy with my choice.

Buy Sangean RCR-22 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio (White) Now

As a previous owner of the Sangean RCR-1 I was a bit disapointed to see that many features were omitted. I realize that this clock is really based on the RCR-2 and not the model that I'm comparing it against. That said my observations on this clock are as follows.

1. The new clock display is a vast improvement over the old one. It's very easy to read from any angle and it can be manually dimmed. However I feel that there still exists room for improvement with the display. I feel that Sangean should have included a photosensor to automatically adjust the display brightness according to ambient lighting conditions. I've had this option on many other clocks costing much less and it's an awesome feature to have. I also feel that they should have kept the outgoing models display size. The larger display was able to show more information at a glance. For instance the RCR-1 and RCR-2 were able to display the date while the alarm's are active. The RCR-22 will not do this. With the new unit you must press the date button to display the information. Also missing is the dual color display of the RCR-1. When the alarm on the RCR-1 activated the display would change color from blue to amber. That feature no longer exists on this model which was a bit of a disapointment.

2. The lack of a battery backup is a serious oversight. I am aware that it has a super capacitor which will hold the time for up to an hour in the event of a power failure. However, a battery backup will hold the time for up to a year AND still be able to sound the buzzer alarm during a power failure. Sony has this feature as well as many other brands on the market today.

3. Another serious oversight is the lack of Humane Waking System (HWS)when the alarm is set to radio mode. This clock features HWS in buzzer mode only. My old RCR-1 has HWS in radio mode and I really miss having the radio volume gradually ramp up to ease me out of my slumber. This new radio simply turns on the radio to the preset volume and blasts you awake.

4. This clock now features a much improved method to activate or deactivate the alarm. You simply push the alarm button and hold it for a few seconds to activate the alarm. The button will illuminate red to show the alarm is active. It also has a redundant indicator in the display.

5. Sangean is known for their excellent radio reception and this unit lives up to the hype. It easily pulls in distant stations and delivers drift free reception. The sound quality is above average for a clock radio and will not disapoint.

Now for the items on my wish list for a future product.

1. Add an HD Radio Tuner. HD radio is catching on and there are a lot of good stations that this can't receive.

2. Add Radio Data System (RDS) to the radio.

3. Add NOAA weather radio to alert you of possible severe weather

4. Photo sensor display dimmer to automatically adjust to ambient light

5. Battery Backup (Sangean this is a must have feature!)

6. HWS for the radio mode of the alarm

7. Larger display

8. Stereo speakers

9. CD Player.

10. Improved alarm programming to allow for different times to be set for each day of the week. This clock does allow you to program a random day pattern giving it more flexibility than most but it could be taken to the next level.

Heck as long as I'm wishing why not put all these features in a table radio and you'll have a winner.

Conclusion, This radio adds a much improved display that makes it easier to live with than the previous models. However several features have been ommitted that should have been left in place. For this reason I am unable to give it more than 3 stars. Most people will be perfectly happy with this clock radio as it is. As for me I'm always looking for that elusive clock radio that address ALL of my needs so the search continues.

Read Best Reviews of Sangean RCR-22 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio (White) Here

I checked out a lot of alarm clocks and this one stood out above the rest. What was initially important to me was an alarm clock that had a 'digital tuner' so the frequency wouldn't drift resulting in no alarm sounding. Not only does this clock meet this need, but it also will default to the buzzer if the station fades or goes off the air!

I also wanted a clock that had both an up AND down button to adjust time. This clock also meets this criterion, however, the capacitor backup, the self correcting time feature and its dual alarm system minimizes the need for adjustments. It also has a button to reset the clock to DST and back. Why doesn't every clock have this?

Soon after I received the clock, I could tell that a lot of thought had gone into its design. In addition to the features listed, I found some nice surprises. It's meant to be operated in the dark and by a sleepy head. When you want to put it in snooze mode, you can hit ANY button on the top to activate it. When you want to turn it off, you can easily find the 'off' button in the dark using the side 'posts' as a guide. Each alarm button will light when that specific alarm will go off within 24 hrs (along with displaying the alarm time) assuring you that all is set. And that's nice, because with it's multi-day and dual alarm system, you rarely need to set it.

The five minute snooze time is a bit short for me. An ajustable snooze time would be nice addition. I would also prefer a digital volume control versus the knob to avoid accidental volume changes.

But overall, it looks great, it out performs the competition and has my recommendation. I've actually invited a few friends to my bedroom to show off....my new alarm clock!

Want Sangean RCR-22 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio (White) Discount?

I've done a ton of research regarding all of the atomic clock radios out on the market. I can safely say, without a doubt, that the RCR-22 is the best atomic clock radio out on the market today, especially with the vast number of features that it has.

Below are some of the primary features that the RCR-22 has to offer:

Display Features

The display background is a dark blue color with white text the display makes for an easy read from a wide variety of angles. (The prior version of this clock, the Sangean RCR-2 Digital Atomic Clock Radio with Dual Alarms, which had an orange background and black text was very difficult, and at times impossible, to read at certain angles).

The RCR-22 also has an adjustable brightness level for the display screen.

Clock Features

The RCR-22 features an atomic clock that automatically synchs up the date and time every hour. Don't get confused with clocks claiming to automatically set themselves several clocks claim that they automatically set themselves, but it's not really the case it's just a gimmick. I, like several others, had been tricked into thinking that our clocks would automatically set themselves this was not the case when the new Daylight Saving Time rules took place and our clocks did not automatically set themselves. The RCR-22 really does set itself via an atomic radio signal.

Alarm Features

This clock features two independent alarms. Each alarm gives you the ability to select the days of the week that you wish the alarms to wake you (i.e. The first alarm could be set for Mon, Wed, Fri at a certain time and the second alarm could be set for Tue and Thu at a different time, etc.)

The alarm offers a Humane Waking System (the alarm gets progressively louder rather than jolting you out of bed)

Adjustable alarm buzzer sound level

You can wake up to the alarm buzzer or to a specific AM or FM station

Like most clocks, the RCR-22 offers a snooze function

Radio Features

Many of the clocks out on the market today seem include a radio just so that it can be called a clock radio often times the radio quality tends to be horrible and the reception tends to be not so great. The RCR-22 is a fantastic radio it sounds great and it has excellent reception (you should expect a good radio from a company that is best known for its radio products).

The radio offers 7 FM presets and 7 AM presets (not a lot of clock radios offer this feature).

Power Backup Feature

Most clocks tend to have a battery-powered backup system (to retain the time and alarm memories during power outages). The RCR-22 offers something quite different it offers a super capacitor that retains time and alarm memories for up to 1 hour (without having to use batteries). This is a very nice feature, however, it does have some drawbacks as I will explain further below.

Miscellaneous Features

Headphone Output Socket to privately listen to the radio using your headphones

Aux Input Socket to listen to an external CD player or MP3 player through the clock radio speakers

Adjustable Nap timer (10-120 minutes)

Adjustable Sleep Timer (15-120 minutes)

Drawbacks

The only possible drawback I could find regarding the RCR-22 is the Super Capacitor power backup if the power outage lasts for more than an hour, all of your settings, including the alarms and radio presets will be gone. Also, if by some strange coincidence, the alarm is scheduled to go off during a power outage, the alarm will not go off.

My only suggestion for future generations of this clock is extend the super capacitor time to 3 hours (this should keep most of us feel calmer). Also, more importantly, have the alarm go off during power outages.

If Sangean takes care of the suggestions above, they would not only have the best atomic clock radio, but arguably the perfect atomic clock radio.

I'm a very proud owner of the RCR-22 the best atomic clock radio out there right now.

I got this atomic clock because I wanted to replace my older clock that would automatically adjust to the OLD Daylight Savings Time schedule.

Well, I wasn't disappointed as this radio adjusted to the new schedule with no problem.

The only problem I have is that you have to turn up the brightness on the display during the daytime in order to see the time from across the room. But then at bedtime, the display brightness is then too high and has to be turned down again. A reviewer mentioned that he wished the clock came with a photo sensor (auto dimmer). Now I know what he was talking about.

Every other feature about this radio is great as mentioned by the other reviewers.

Here's some additional info that I don't think has been covered yet:

The atomic signal sensor "capsule" has a 32" extension wire so that you can mount it away from the radio if necessary.

The radio has a 41" external FM antenna wire.

To test the "super capacitor", I unplugged the radio for 3 hours and to my surprise the radio still kept my alarm and tuner settings!

Cortez Reclining Loveseat

Cortez Reclining LoveseatSome websites including the manufacturer's website list it as a "bonded leather" (i.e. vinyl) sofa.

Bonded leather leather is a material made of varying degrees of genuine leather combined with other substances to give the appearance of leather at reduced cost. There are different types of bonded leather, but the type being used on upholstered furniture today is a polyurethane or vinyl product, backed with fabric and then a layer of latex or other material mixed with a small percentage of leather fibers in the product's backing material. The actual leather content of bonded leather varies depending on the manufacturer and the quality level they are selling. The polyurethane surface is stamped to give it a leather-like texture. In the home furnishings industry there is much debate and controversy over the ethics of using the term "bonded leather" to describe a vinyl upholstery product.

Other websites include the following description: Available in a high-grade leather/match. This is where all the leather you would touch on a daily basis are genuine leather. Seating surfaces including the seat, back, footrest and top of arms are genuine full leather. The external back and sides of the furniture are a perfect synthetic leather match. The synthetic and real leather are exact matches so you will not be able to notice any differences.

Not sure what to believe... for the price, I'm going to guess it is NOT real leather.

This loveseat recliner rocker is everything I hoped it would be. It's like sitting on a cloud. Really! The price was right and the product is quality built.

Royal Hotel's 1200 Thread Count 4pc King Size Bed Sheet Set 100% Egyptian Cotton, Sateen Stripe, Dee

Royal Hotel's 1200 Thread Count 4pc King Size Bed Sheet Set 100% Egyptian Cotton, Sateen Stripe, Deep Pocket, 1200 TC, Stripe BronzeLovely color, texture, and finishing but a 400 Thread County quality and thickness at best. Was shocked at how thin these sheets were for an advertised thread count of 1200. They must be counting every fiber of the warp and weft. I expected something like the 1200 TC I bought at Sams Club five years ago, heavy like Irish Linen. These were not much better than 300 TC sheets I got at Walmart in a pinch. Sorry guys but this is seriously misrepresented.

Not soft, very scratchy. Extremely thin. 1200 count sheets aren't thin. I will enver buy sheets of of amazon or ebay. I seriously learned my lesson. I have 600 count from Target that are 100x better!

I have had a hard time finding "soft", and quality queen size pillows. I do not want to pay more than $15 each. It is extremely difficult to find a decent soft pillow with side panels. The ad states these pillows are medium density. I was hoping they would be soft and found they are definitely medium to firm.

Even though I am still looking for soft pillows, I love these mediums. They look well built with quality and should give years of service. I could have returned these right away; however, I put them into my pillow shams and left them on the bed to try for watching TV. They packed the shams full. Normally, when I watch TV, I stack my pillows to prop me up. i.e. first my main pillow is on the bottom, then two other full size pillows to raise my head and finally one smaller pillow to tilt my head.

With these new pillows, I only use my regular pillow as a base and the new one on top. This is working better than any other system I have tried. I love them. If you want a pillow that is medium to firm (I think this one is firm) this is a good pillow. If you are looking for soft, this is not the one for you.

Now I don't want 6 pillows on my bed. Now I just want 4. I still need 4 soft new pillows for the rest of the house and I am looking. So this accidental purchase is beneficial for me.

No two people are alike and neither are their pillow preferences so this may be your pillow or not. I used to travel extensively and logged in maybe 100 nights a year at hotels around the country. In that time, I found maybe 5% of the hotel pillows to my liking so to say I'm picky about pillows would not be an understatement. I sleep mainly on my side or stomach and as such, cannot take a thick fluffy pillow that elevates my head much more than a compressed inch above the mattress. Thse medium density pillows are perfect in that configuration.

They also retain their shape, don't need continual readjustment or re-fluffing during the night which is important to me as I tend to thrash around from one side of the bed to the other multiple times during a 6-8 hour sleep session. The ultra soft down filled pillows are nice in that regard but require way too many adjustments to allow a good night's sleep in my view. These pillows are not perfect as I would prefer them to be a bit, say 20% softer, but when you add up all the pluses and minuses, they get a good solid A grade from me.

I also want to note that the value for these pillows is outstanding. I paid about $60 per pillow from a nationally advertised pillow company for a pair of their finest but was disappointed with both the quality and design of their 'guaranteed best pillow ever' positioning statement. The pillows being reviewed here are far better for far less money. So it all comes down to what you want and what will work for you. Unfortuantely, you can't really know about a pillow until it's been test driven for an entire night of sleep.

I would suggest to you that these pillows are worth the risk if your sleeping habits come close to mirroring my own.

I do not like these pillows, they are to high for me. However, everyone else loves them. I even forwarded this item to a girl friend so her husband and her can buy them. They are really well made and my husband likes them so I will keep them. I need more of a down pilloe or really flat pillow.

These are good value for the price. They are supportive but not too soft an ideal medium pillow. The label says the cover is 100% cotton. I have washed one and it washed and dried well to my surprise as previous 'washable' pillows have always been ruined in the wash. In my opinion pillows have a limited life-span anyway so I would rather have reasonably priced ones that I change frequently.

Good quality pillow but if you are looking for a flat pillow keep looking... this is not the one. The height measurement is not correct. This pillow is high/tall and firm so stomach sleepers you'll end up with a serious crink on your neck after just one night.
