nap Luxe Blanket

nap Luxe BlanketI own this in the old lavender color. It is amazing! I use it daily, especially now in the winter months. Perfect for freezing New England weather. I love both sides, the original nap and the Luxe side, sooo soft & comfy. I use it to cuddle up on the couch, and also to snuggle with in bed. I'd love one in every color!

Love this blanket! It is soooo soft that when my 6 yr old granddaughter sat with me she asked if she could have it....Love to snuggle up with it and watch TV at night or anytime it is chilly..

Buy nap Luxe Blanket Now

This blanket is very soft and has two sides, which I think allows different amounts of air through because one felt cooler to me than the other. Nevertheless it just wasn't big enough for my purposes. It covered me completely, but when I went to move, it would need to be re-adjusted. If you're going to be using it a lot or for a long periods of time (i.e. the whole evening) I would suggest you either get the NAP snuggie or do like I did and get the king sized (or queen sized) NAP lite blanket. Both sides have the shorter-pile material but its very warm and luxurious feeling and its a great replacement for our comforter! The downside is that the king size only comes in cream or beige instead of the other colors. The queen size comes in pink/blue/cream/beige.

Also, it took about a full week to get here from when I placed the order so if you want one now, just pick one up from your nearest Brookstone, you'll have to pay the sales tax either way if you're in a state where they have a store. Hope this helps someone.

I love this blanket! It's my 5th NAP product and probably my favorite of the bunch as well. One side is a little warmer than the other which is nice. Well made, washes well, comfy, etc.

I am addicted to my NAP blanket. I got one as a gift from my brother and since then I have purchased them for my fiance, my future mother in law, and my mother. I sleep and lounge around with it everyday! It is still so soft, even after many washes and placing in the dryer. It is a dream! And my cat won't stay off of it, haha! You will sleep/nap peacefully.

DynastyMattress King Celebrity 13-Inch Pillow Top w/6" Memory Foam

DynastyMattress King Celebrity 13-Inch Pillow Top w/6' Memory FoamI was fairly hesitant to purchase a bed online. I did a lot of research regarding memory foam beds by reading online and also talking to sales people in stores. First I found out about different densities and materials of memory foam. Some of the ones that I saw at places such as Sam's Club were made of 100% Polyurethane. For a base Polyurethane is fine but for the whole bed it does not qualify as a memory foam. Viscoelastic is what the top part of the bed with an avg thickness of 3" (this one has 5 because it has the extra 2 inches of egg crate shaped layers for the pillow top). While some other beds have the correct material and correct thickness it might not have the correct density of the Viscoelastic. Lesser quality beds will have less density. Tempur-Pedic and other high quality memory foam beds have a density of 5.3 lbs of density. When there is less density the bed won't work like a memory foam bed. It will sag and you'll probably wake up with some sore backs. All in all this was a great deal and is a great bed. It arrived in five days from when I ordered it in excellent condition. The warranty is for ten years (amazon quotes it incorrectly).

Pros: Arrived ahead of schedule, in great condition. Very comfortable bed. I am extremely happy with it. Helps my wife a lot, she's pregnant and the memory foam helps out her back quite a bit.

Cons: Takes a week or two to "soften it up" and get used to it (but is fantastic when you get used to it). Smells like when new carpet has been put down in a house for about three weeks. I have read a lot of things about the chemical smell being toxic and causing asthma. I have had difficulties with asthma for 26 years now and can get an asthma attack from cats, dogs, dust, running, and lots of other things. I was a little worried this smell might cause some asthma attacks however, I have never had an attack from this smell. I don't wake up wheezing or anything.

Conclusion: Great bed, great deal, arrived in 5 days. For me the Cons are minuscule in comparison to the Pros. Will/have already recommended to my friends.

To make this short and sweet we paid alot of money for a sleep number bed which we suffered on for 5or so years. Finally when I could barely stand up straight in the mornings we started shopping for a new mattress. We decided on the expensive name brand memory foam mattress and were ready to sign on to a 3yr payment plan when I decided to check on Amazon. We came accross this bed and felt we had nothing to lose (it was about 15% of the price we were going to pay) and we have not regretted the decision. We have had the bed for 3+ mosno complaints!! As a person with chronic back issues, I feel great on this bedthank you!!!

Buy DynastyMattress King Celebrity 13-Inch Pillow Top w/6" Memory Foam Now

Ordering and shipping went smooth, the bed was delivered on the date promised. Comparison shopping was difficult, if not impossible, but after reading as much online as I could find and trying out many other brands of memory foam mattresses, I decided to take the chance and order the Dynasty... which was a jump in faith for me. In my eyes, this was a big purchase to make without trying it out, but the reviews on Amazon were good and the price was fantastic, so we did it. I've found most other brands to be slightly firmer than the Tempur-Pedic, so with that in mind I made sure to order a softer mattress than I might normally buy. That was a good move, as the comfort level of our new mattress is about perfect (King Celebrity 12 inch.) I almost ordered the Cloud, it was a tough decision. Every brand has a distinct feel, although they are similar in many ways. This one has less of a "sinking" sensation than others but is very comfortable and back pain has been zero. The smell was not as strong as some may say, although others could be more sensitive. During the first week we stripped the sheets off every morning and opened the windows to reduce any chance of odor. There is still a slight whiff occasionally. It will take a few months before giving this a complete and fair review but we are quite satisfied so far. There is no denying the price difference, less than $800 for the Dynasty vs $4,000 for the Tempur-Pedic. That was the single biggest factor in our decision.

UPDATE: After a month of using the mattress I am thoroughly impressed and increased my 4 start rating to 5. It took a few weeks to get acquainted with the feel, as I always slept on a traditional spring mattress, but since then I have slept better than anytime in recent memory. I don't wake up in the night and hardly toss and turn, which was a regular occurrence in the past. No more back pain either. Very satisfied!

Want DynastyMattress King Celebrity 13-Inch Pillow Top w/6" Memory Foam Discount?

My husband and I looked at the Temperpedic memory foam mattress and I wasn't about to pay $3500 for a mattress but I've had such bad luck with the inner spring mattresses. I was a little scared to purchase such a large item over the internet but after reading alot of good reviews, I thought I'd chance it. Boy, am I glad I did! I got it in less than a week. My girlfriend and I managed to get it in the house and it took longer to get all the packaging off of it. It started expanding immediately and I was even able to sleep on it the first night. There's a little smell to it but not that terrible of an odor. I opened the windows and ran a fan and it wasn't that noticeable. When I first laid on it I thought, "Oh, this is really hard!" But after you've laid on it for a couple minutes you start sinking down in it. For around $800 you can't beat it!

Update after 1-1/2 years of sleeping on it: The mattress doesn't conform to your body. It is hard as a rock especially with two people. It gives us both low back pain.

These 1500 thread count pillow cases are extremely soft and are so nice to sleep on. The only thing I noticed is the Sage color doesn't match exactly to the actual 1500 thread count sheet sage set that I ordered. These cases were just extras for our other pillows on the bed that we sleep with, but they are just as soft as the sheet set! Sleeping on a cloud sums it up completely! :)

Boppy Prenatal Cuddle Pillow, Neutral

Boppy Prenatal Cuddle Pillow, NeutralThis pillow is just what I needed! I used the Boppy full body prenatal pillow with my first pregnancy and didn't remember having any complaints at the time. However, when I got it out to use this time around, I was constantly waking up all tangled in the giant pillow and sheets. This pillow is the perfect size to give some belly and hip support, without taking over the bed. Also, it allows you to use your own pillow for your neck and head, thereby leaving you free to roll over without having to stand up and reposition everything. It's also great for underneath your knees or behind your back support for watching tv.

I bought this pillow seven years ago. I used it for two pregnancies. In between kids I developed back problems that never seem to go away and I use it to this day to make sleeping more comfortable. This pillow has gotten me through it all. It helps keep pressure off belly, knees and back, pregnant or not. It has not lost its fullness, not even in the spot where my knees come together. (Okay, it's not as thick in that spot as it once was but it's still quite satisfactory.) It's not big enough to push your husband out of bed and it's pretty easy to roll with. I love this thing. Even works for nursing when the baby Boppy is in a different room. I couldn't love this pillow more. Even though I'm done with kids I'd order another for my knees and back.

Buy Boppy Prenatal Cuddle Pillow, Neutral Now

I shopped for awhile and read a lot of maternity pillow reviews before choosing this item. It seems to be both loose and lofty enough with constant use, without getting hot and making me want to throw it off the bed. It is not cumbersome like so many others reviewed and the price was more reasonable, especially considering that it is a Bobby product. I later found it sold in an outlet mall for about $12.00 more than I paid Amazon. My husband even tries to steal it sometimes, until I get to bed and guilt him into giving it back, you know, me growing his baby and all. The item had quite a strong smell when it first arrived but I immediately threw both the pillow and cover (that's right, it comes with a cover) into the washer and dryer and the residual smell faded after a couple nights of use. My sister also has one and has continued to use it every day since her son was born over two moths ago. I would recommend this product to expectant mothers as a staple item for their pregnancy, especially the last three months.

I am 15 weeks pregnant and bought this pillow because a friend recommended it for my hip pain.... I found the pillow to be a little larger than I expected but it was pretty comfortable to snuggle up to. That was until the SECOND morning I woke up and the part between my knees was COMPLETELY flat ... I'm not a big person ... I'm 5'8 and fit so it's not like I had 2 ton legs pushing on it.... Stuffing and quality are poor. Also it's very rough and scratchy material.... All in all... I'm out 30 bucks for something useless.

Want Boppy Prenatal Cuddle Pillow, Neutral Discount?

I bought this pillow about two months after I found out I was pregnant. I went by the reviews and found this to be the best choice. Don't bother buying this pillow. It went flat after 5 days of use. I ended up buying a standard body pillow from Wal-Mart and it has held up better than the Boppy Cuddle Pillow and I've used it now for 3 months!

Guardmaster Dri-Tec Mattress Protector

Dri-Tec Mattress Protector QueenThis mattress cover is very well made and does not have any latex in it. It does not add heat to the bed and is very comfortable. I bought another of these from Sleepys and liked it enough to order this one for my daughter who also just got a new mattress. I'm not fond of the price, but begrudgingly I'd have to say its worth it. Mattresses are expensive and this has a 10 Yr warranty, will keep mattress clean and free from dust mites.

DO NOT BUY a guard master mattress protector unless you do not care that it stops working after it is washed several times. It worked great for about 6 months, then just stopped working, everything started leaking right though. (I have two little ones that sometimes come into my bed during the middle of the nightwhich can mean leaky bottles or diaper leaks on occasionwhich is why when I purchased a new bed, I wanted a mattress protector that came with a 10 year warranty against spills or stains getting onto the mattress).

I called to place a claim and no one returned my call. I called again and again and again and left message after message, with no return calls. Finally I contacted the Dump, where I purchased my mattress and mattress protector and they gave me the number of the guard master sales rep. She was able to help me get my mattress cleaned and sent out a new mattress protector. This time I double checked the wash and care instructions to make sure I was doing every little thing right (I wasbut I was extremely vigilant the second time around). Sure enough it worked great for about 6 months and then just stopped working after so many washes. I have 2 little ones, so you can imagine how upset I am when an accident happened in my relatively new/expensive bed, and it leaked right through the mattress pad onto my mattress. It just sickens me. I have again left multiple messages for the claims service and no response. I am going to call the dump again and see if someone call help me. I am so sick of this company that never returs calls and their mattress pad that doesn't work.

Where to begin with the nightmare of this company and with the awful reliability of this product save your money!. Recently purchased a 4000.00 dollar bed and was sold one of these protectors that is supposdly waterproof and guranteed not! Spilt a cup of cranberry juice on bed got up immediatley stripped off sheets and guardmaster the red juice had alread seeped onto the brand new matress! Seeing how they gurantee nothing will go through i called them left messages every day on their warranty voicemail and got no responses for 2 months! Tried calling the 1800 number again but selected place a oreder what do you know they pick up immediatley! Explained my situation they got me set up with someone to come out and try to clean matress they couldnt get the stain out. Call guard master back let them know they said ok we will have to replace it once they found out the cost of the matress they never answered a single email or phone call again finally got in touch with some one and they did replace the matress but bewareeeeeee awful customer service along with a awful product DOOOOOOOOO NOTTTTTTTTT BUYYYYYYYYYY

Do not buy any product from this company. There "warrantee" is a sham and so are the products they sell. After many failed attempts trying to get them to live up to their guarantee, I am now contacting the BBB to report them. I can only hope they will shut them down so this does not happen to anyone else!

Want Guardmaster Dri-Tec Mattress Protector Discount?

Would give it 0 stars if I could. After a few washes it stops working and when you call to file the claim they never call back. This is not a reputable company and they should be ashamed for selling this product.

Rose Tree Summerton European Sham

Rose Tree Summerton European ShamI purchased these along with the Rose Tree Summerton comforter, standard shams, and dust ruffle. The shams are beautifully made from a fairly heavy, high quality material (the dust ruffle I bought in the comforter set is made from the same plaid material). They fit the European pillow shams I bought perfectly. These offer a nice extra bit of cushion along with the standard shams when I sit and read in bed. They also really dress the bed up to look very special. They are good sized, so they may obscure a good share of your headboard--which isn't a bad thing, but something you might be prepared for.

I had a good experience with my purchase and I am enjoying my product and

would do it again.

KLOUD ® Silver color aluminum watch box/organizer/showcase/display/storage box/holder for 12 watche

KLOUD ® Silver color aluminum watch box/organizer/showcase/display/storage box/holder for 12 watches with removable pillows and clearance top window + KLOUD cleaning clothJust got this and here are my thoughts:

you get what you pay for based on the $ 20 price tag.

Very light, small and mostly cardboard paper on the inside.

not what I expected at all, but good if you want a really cheap case.

the cardboard pillow are junkie.

the cardboard slots are a bit narrow.

you can not close the case if you have big tool watches. 42-50mm

(if you do it will be glass on glass for sure)

and no handle to carry the case.

So it's up to you, but I just wanted to give you a quick heads up. If you want a really nice case spend more $.. if you want a very simple cheap one, this will work.

Shipping was very fast, thanks.

cheap all the way around funny thing is I didnt mean to order and they wouldnt take it back. damn 1 click option

Luxury Wrinkle Free Egyptian Cotton Blend 300tc Sheet Deep Pocket Sheet Set-sateen Stripe;single Ply

Luxury Wrinkle Free Egyptian Cotton Blend 300tc Sheet Deep Pocket Sheet Set-sateen Stripe; Full, WhiteLast month I had reported receiving this sheet set with grease stains and told you I'd follow up after contacting Amazon & the supplier.

The set was what we wanted except for on pillow case which had grease stains.

After e-mailing Amazon I had a response from the supplier within a few hours and they had a replacement shipped out the next day. That's what I call Great Customer Service.

Ordinarily I'd give 4 stars but the the service and follow up I am giving it the full *****5 STARS. It would be a perfect 10 if the ratings allowed.

For those who can't stand wrinkles and ironing, these sheets provide great cotton feel and crisp look. I gave them as a present to my parents after looking everywhere for a quality blend fabric. A big hit--my mom purchased another set immediately.

I bought these sheets based on the good reviews I read. Unfortunately, I was terribly disappointed. Even before being washed, the sheets felt thin and cheap. After I washed the sheets, they immediately felt pilled and rough. I later bought the 500 thread count Wrinkle Free brand sheets and have been very pleased with them.

Read Best Reviews of Luxury Wrinkle Free Egyptian Cotton Blend 300tc Sheet Deep Pocket Sheet Set-sateen Stripe;single Ply Here

The feel of these sheets is pretty nice, despite the 40% polyester, but like "Very Disappointed" we found that these sheets pilled on the first use, after one washing. It's perhaps worth mentioning that the pilling is very distinctively where are feet are on the sheets (one of us is 6' tall, the other 5'3", so it's pretty obviously from contact between our feet and the sheets). The fact that for several decades we've used all-cotton sheets and these are our first blend, and that we've never had sheets pill before (really), leads me to believe it's because of the blend, but not a very scientific conclusion.

Sangean RCR-5 Digital AM/FM Clock Radio

Sangean RCR-5 Digital AM/FM Clock Radio
  • Digital tuner with 10 station presets
  • Dual alarms with "human wake" buzzer
  • Set recurring alarms for daily, weekends, and weekdays
  • Sleep timer (15-120 minutes)
  • Includes AC Power Adapter

I have nothing but praise for the Sangean RCR-5 clock radio. Specifically, here are the most noteworthy aspects of this truly amazing product:

Display

Here is where the RCR-5 truly shines, as it incorporates a backlit LCD with adjustable intensity: one may adjust the backlight to suit your needs, so you have a perfectly legible, yet not too bright display (at night) which can never be "washed out", even in direct sunlight. The display even has a clever feature whereby it will illuminate to full intensity when any of the buttons are pressed, after which it returns to the user's preset intensity after ten seconds. As you can see from the product photos, the display is of a soft, warm color, most conducive to a good sleeping environment; other clock radios using bright blue or green illumination, IMHO, should be avoided if you want to get any sleep.

Auxiliary Input

Very useful for listening to my podcasts at night; when an external source is attached, the Band button will cycle through AM/FM/AU; when none is attached, only AM/FM are available, thereby eliminating "clutter" for those who do not wish to enable this feature. (Note: I'm old-school, and prefer using this method over a "Dockable" iPod solution, as I prefer to completely run my iPod's battery source to zero before recharging...)

Flexibility in Programming

Only found on more expensive clock radios, this model will allow you to use the "Sleep" feature to listen to a particular station (or podcast with the Auxiliary feature) at night, and then to wake to radio on a different station. In addition, all alarms allow Daily, Mon-Fri, or Single, with the Audible Alarm using a gentle "ramp-up" feature.

Reception and Speaker Quality

The radio's receiver portion of this product is very good, rivaled by only my Sony short wave receiver (a great radio, by the way!); what looks like a 3-inch speaker provides a very warm, intelligible output, very suitable for the spoken word, adequate for music. If you need a strong system for powerful music, I would suggest purchasing an additional desktop speaker setup (such as for a computer) which can be attached to the headphone output by means of a standard mini-jack connection.

Finally, a no-nonsense Sleep function

Sangean has cleverly incorporated the Sleep function into the Power button (which is gently illuminated when the radio's off); to turn the radio on or off, press the button. To use the Sleep feature, press and hold the same button to select up to 120 minutes. Simple, effective, "it just works".

Final Recommendation

Well, what more can I say? This product works for me (and I'm purchasing three more for gifts) and has a lot going for it, including high value (very reasonably priced!). Is there anything that you should be aware of? Yes:

> As described in the previous customer's entry, setting the alarm may require a few extra key-strokes, as this product offers many options when it comes to waking by either the alarm or the radio; if you do not need all of these features, you may wish to consider something of simpler means. That being said, it took me only about 22 seconds to set the alarm; for me, it was relatively intuitive and logical.

> The built-in battery back up feature only works for about ten minutes worth of backup, according to the manual; in my neck of the woods, this is not a big issue, but should be noted if you experience many nighttime blackouts where you are located.

> Even though this model is referred to as an "RCR-5", it should be noted that it does not employ an automatic time synchronization feature as is found on Sangean's higher end clock radios. (Not a big issue for me, and may actually be desirable for those of us who prefer to set our clocks 5, 10, or 15 minutes fast to "keep us on time"!)

I hope this helps you in making the right decision! All the best!

Buy Sangean RCR-5 Digital AM/FM Clock Radio Now

I have to say that I'm quite impressed by the QUALITY of the Sangean RCR-5 clock radio. Quite a bit of great detail has already been mentioned in a fine way by a previous reviewer. I just have to say that I'm really impressed at how clear the radio reception is...absolutely NO drift, it locks onto the radio frequency and stays there! And the sound from the speaker (even if it is just a single speaker) is rather impressive...I've never heard a speaker sound so clear, crisp, and distinct, whether it be music or spoken word! I also like how smooth the volume control feels. It keeps great time with an easy-to-view display, and wakes you up comfortably with its "humane waking system." Some people have noted that the settings for the clock are too complex and complicated, but I frankly didn't experience any problems in that sense. Of course, it does not have the atomic clock updating, nor does it have a built-in cd player, but it does have the auxillary input, if you wanted to connect a cd player or mp3 player. Overall, I have to say that certainly alot of thought has gone into the designing of the Sangean RCR-5...this certainly is NO ordinary clock radio...it's a finely-crafted instrument!

I started realizing the quality of this radio as soon as I held the box it came in. It's well packaged in heavy cardboard throughout. Take the radio out and look it over; you can tell this is not your everyday clock radio you find in all the stores. It's built solid and the buttons and controls feel solid. The sound is much better than any clock radio I've ever owned in this price range. The display is easy to see from all angles and not too brite. The amber is soft on your eyes unlike some of the blues and greens out there. Setting the alarms is slightless less intuitive then it could be but it's easy once you do it a few times (the reason for the 4 out of 5 stars). Products like this are few and far between these days. High quality and does what it is made to do very well without looking like an alien aircraft with unessessary bells and whistles. Very possibly the best engineered clock radio for under $50. Im very happy with my purchase.

Based on reviews by others I had hoped this little radio would satisfy my needs for good AM and FM reception with decent sound. Sound was tinny but using a set of computer speakers offset that issue. Reception very spotty for both both AM and FM stations and the little wire antenna didn't help much. Didn't appear to be any way to boost reception by attaching another antenna. Since the product didn't live up to expectations, I tried to return it, but was refused. I didn't retain the plastic bags covering the radio and plug in the box and the box had a couple of tears so the package wasn't in pristine condition. No damages, scars, etc. to the radio itself so sounds to me like supplier won't accept returns once you open their box which implies a no return policy. If I had bought this locally at Wal-Mart or Target or about any other store, a return would have been accepted.

This is a terrific clock radio despite a couple of drawbacks for insomniac listening (knocking 1 star off the rating). Features I require in a clock radio (beyond the obvious) are: earphone jack (my husband isn't interested in listening along with me ;), sleep timer, digital tuning (having to fiddle with station drift would only serve to wake me up more); preset stations (again, the less fiddling in the middle of the night, the better); and dimable display (I keep it just bright enough to read the display at night--this is pretty dim, doesn't disturb sleep). This radio has all that and more; I also like the small size of the radio and amber light of the display.

That said, here's what I dislike: when you press and hold the power-on button to use the sleep timer, the display becomes painfully bright, "only" about 15 seconds, but I find it extremely annoying. I'm working on developing a feel for how long to hold the button down without having to look at the display so I can just keep my eyes closed.

The other thing I dislike: the nap timer button is right next to the power-on/sleep timer button, making it very easy to accidentally hit the nap timer button without realizing it while feeling around for the power button, thus treating yourself and any sleep partner to the alarm a little while later. Ugh. Did that twice, then built a little "A-frame" of card stock & taped it over the nap timer button so I don't hit it by accident again. Note the power/sleep timer button *is* dimly (nicely) illuminated, so the nap timer button can be avoided if you don't mind opening your eyes, lifting your head up to see the power button, and focusing your attention on hitting nothing but the power button.

It's too bad the battery backup isn't good for more than a few minutes; hopefully this won't prove to be a significant problem. I didn't find setting the clock, alarms, or digital presets difficult, though I did need to use the manual to figure it out.

ITALIAN 1200 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover Set , King, Taupe Stripe, Premium ITALIAN Fini

ITALIAN 1200 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover Set , King, Taupe Stripe, Premium ITALIAN FinishI purchased the duvet cover and the matching sheets for this product. The sheets feel wonderful and actually make my bed more comfortable however, the sheets and duvet cover are pictured with a slight strip design in them but they are solid sheets/cover. There is no strip or design in them.

If you are looking for the most luxurious sheets ever, buy these. They are simple delicious, soft, odor free and come out of the dryer ready to put on the bed. No ironing is needed. I couldn't be happier with these sheets..

This product is packaged with low-cost material and doesn't seem to be made of Italy. I wonder why this attractive information is not to be found on that package at all!!

Teen Vogue Heart Shaped Sequin Dec Pillow

Teen Vogue Heart Shaped Sequin Dec Pillow, PinkFirst the color says pink, but it is exactly as shown, Purple.

I was hoping that the picture was incorrect, but it is not...the pillow is purple and the sequins were coming off

around the edges. It is delicate, and I wanted to use for my 7 year olds bed. Too delicate for a younger child's

bed. The sequins would end up totally missing in a matter of days for sure. I had high hopes for this, but it has to

go back, much to my daughter's dismay.

Premium Talalay RejuveNite Talatech Latex Plush Renewal Pillow - King

Premium Talalay RejuveNite Talatech Latex Plush Renewal Pillow - KingI have a natural latex bed and love it. But I'm still looking for a good latex pillow. I bought but returned these pillows (I bought both styles of this pillow, once for a side sleeper one for a back sleeper). They had no substance, both just deflated to nothing. They also smelled. I did not try sleeping with them (because if I did I could not return them), but just a quick assessment was enough to decide to return them. They felt like a cheap foam pillow.

These Pillows are the best!You sleep wonderfull with them.They don't kink your neck like most pillows.Very soft and comfey.I reccamend them to anyone wanting a good nights sleep.I have two sets .

I bought two of these from Original Mattress Factory and am buying two more from Amazon! These are the most comfortable pillows I've ever slept on. We are side, back and stomach sleepers and both of us find this pillow SO comfortable in any position! Would not hesitate to buy these again. Worth the extra $$$!

About three or four years ago we bought a new mattress and the salesman got us into buying those pillows, no regrets whatsoever! I highly recommend them, I came looking to see if I found them cheaper or other products make by them but, not because mine were in bad shape, they are still in great shape and we still sleep like babies. I don't know how someone said the smell, they do not they actually have holes...love them so much I have a hard time sleeping without them :)
