Sleep Better 5-Inch Extra Firm Mattress Topper
I chose this to review for my first Amazon review (long-time customer) because I'm so enthusiastic about this chunk 'o foam!
If you're a tall, big man with back troubles like me don't listen to the namby pamby's who gave it 1 star.
I got it, and like one of the 4 star reviewers, you just wait a couple of days without putting any load on it or sniffing at it,
and you'll have a REAL NICE, FIRM, back-relieving mattress! Follow instructions-
Don't use a razor knife to open itfoam will bias on you.
The CUT of the mattress wasn't bad, and the size is a GENEROUS QUEEN I ordered seemed waaay too small first, now it's almost too big.
The smell certainly WASN'T like cat pee, more woody than pee-like (after airing out)
NOW I put a couple of 3" hard pink foam boards underneath and zipped it up into a zippered queen BOX SPRING cover (cheaper, without the nasty, crinkly vinyl liner)
I am in HEAVEN now I would describe it as extra-firm, therapeutic.
For $100 bucks, when I was CRUSHING those inexpensive queens repeatedly, this is a BARGAIN.
I KNOW it will last at least a year. I'm 400lbs.
BYW: If there are two people in itit's firm enough you certainly WON'T get a hill between OR on either side of youTHAT'S
how firm it is don't think yellow, soft foam, it'll mush in this WON'T excellent quality!I bought this assuming that it would be firm mattress pad and would help my back. Initially when I got this, i was really happy. The topper was realy firm and was good support to my back but as I have used it over last few months, i feel the topper has lost it firmness.

This product arrived timely and well packaged. The price was reasonable and the foam itself is very firm, which is what I expected. But the stated dimensions were not accurate. The ad states, "Queen size measures 60 by 80 by 5 inches". The 60 and 5 were correct, but the length was 80 at one corner and tapered down to 77 inches at the other corner...not quite a rectangle that most people would expect for a bed. This is awful quality control! This worked ok for me as I needed to cut it down for a non-standard full bed, but for those of you who really need the stated size; BEWARE!!!Read Best Reviews of Sleep Better 5-Inch Extra Firm Mattress Topper Here
It arrived folded length wise and rolled up in a box.Once unpacked it took a number of hours to expand to it's full size.
The final dimensions were a bit less than 80x60x5 and not completely uniform.
Roughly the length was between 77 and 78", the width was around 59" and the height was around 4.5".
The mattress is manufactured by the Carpenter Company:The mattress feels nice and firm, but not harsh, and the material seems to be of decent density and quality.
I use this as the base layer of my "custom" mattress.
On top of it I have a 3" memory foam topper and I have it enclosed in an 8" velour zippered cover.
I've had it in use for a few days now, and it's wonderful.

I BOUGHT THIS MATTRESS TOPPER FOR MY MATTRESS BECAUSE I COULDNT SLEEP AND MY BACK WAS KILLING ME. WELL LET ME TELL YOU NOW I SLEEP LIKE A BABY. I BOUGHT THE EXTRA FIRM ONE I TRIED THE FIRM ONE BUT IT WAS NOT GOOD FOR ME I NEED IT VERY FIRM AND I GOT IT. THE ONLY THING IS THAT YOU MUST LET IT AIR OUT BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE A LITTLE ODOR WHEN YOU OPEN IT UP. YOU CAN SPRAY IT WITH A CARPET FRESHENER AND THAT WILL DO THE TRICKTHIS WAS A GREAT BUY FOR ME

American Mills Airbrush 16 by 16 Pillow, Set of 2
There is some good squish going on here, not too soft, now too hard. The cover is twill, and comfy against the skin. i bought these in Putty, and that's what the color looks like. Or you could call it a taupe.
Again, for the price, the pillows are very well-made. The fabric is sturdy, and there are no loose threads. The stitching is very good. My one criticism is that the side of the pillow that was sewn up after the stuffing was inserted is over-stitched. Granted, to make this seam look like the rest would require hand-stitching. I only know because I've made throw pillows and know how to make that seam indistinguishable. But it sure isn't a deal-breaker, and may go completely unnoticed by most people.
And you can never have too many throw pillows!I bought these pillows b/c I wanted extra pillows and contrast color for my livingroom. the quality was good for the price. The only thing was the color(lichen). Im not sure if it was the computer or the pillow was just a funky color anyways. I returned them and re-odered in a differnt color perhaps(putty).

I've bought other bedding on Amazon and have been generally pleased. These sheets, however, are pretty "meh" and are now appropriately priced 35% less than I paid for them a few months ago. The fitted sheet is always coming loose on the bed (nightly). The colors bled, are bleeding, will continue to bleed, so if you want to recolor your blue jeans these are the ticket. Will pass on other offers by this dealer.Tuesday, July 22, 2014

WENGER SWISS ARMY COMFORT TRAVEL NECK PILLOW-RED WITH CLIP
added comfort these provided. The price was reasonable too, especially buying so many. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the red
cover zips off for washing. Not sure that feature was mentioned in the listing. The fabric is soft, stretchy knit, and the stuffing "just right"
for any size person. The hanging clip is also very handy . Highly recommended.

Conair TS4201NR Travel Smart Inflatable Chiropractic Neck Rest with Ear Plugs
PROS: very light, can fit in a small purse / pants pocket, comfortable and cushiony with full air, the ear plugs are the typical $0.99 pair that you can buy from the dollar store which do an "ok" job of filtering the noise
CONS: you need to have good lungs to inflate it, automatically deflates in about 5 minutes after 3 usage (from my experience)
You may want to consider another product if weight and bulk are not an issue for travel.This pillow does its job and is pretty easy to inflate and deflate. Does deflate to a small enough size. It really does prevent your head from 'wobbling' so that is good. I'm just not crazy about the whole travel pillow thing and this is more a personal preference about how to rest/sleep on a plane. But thought I would try this and will say that it is the first one I tried so don't have a comparison. May be one of the better of it's type from what I could tell. So if you like the travel pillow thing and want one you can deflate may want to try this one.

Chimney Balloon Fireplace Damper 9"X9" Draft Stopper Pillow Plug
The price is too expensive for what it is though.
And I can do just as well with a heavy duty plastic bag filled with fiberglass insulation.I have a prefabricated fireplace with a 6 inch flue of metal pipe. Not only do I need to control HVAC efficiency in my home, I need to stop the wasps and yellow jackets from getting in my house. The fireplace has a flue damper but it has a tiny opening near the pivot and it lets them in. One option is to get a closing chimney cap but they are $200+, $700-800 if you have it installed. The Chimney Baloon does work as advertised but it is a pain to install in my type of unit. You need one hand on the extender (yes you need the extender) one holding a flashlight and the tube in your mouth all while positioning your body so you are watching what you are doing and making sure the ballon is positioned corectly. Be careful inserting it into your flue beyond the damper and watch out for sharp sheet metal screws. You inflate it to the point of beginning to seal then pull it down in order for it to seal properly. Otherwise if you dont watch it while inflating, it will inflate lop sided and leave a gap. If you pull it down gently it will seal but you have to have the right amount of pressure here. If the balloon was more rounded this would be less of a hassle. (hint hint to the manufacturer) It does work as advertised so I give it 4 stars. Wheather or not the unit leaks air over time and deflates remains to be seen but it appears to be of respectible quality.

This worked very well, exactly as described. It stopped the draft immediately and the room is much more comfortable to be in now. It did take a couple tries to seat it correctly. Also, I recommend wearing disposable gloves, your hands will get messy.Read Best Reviews of Chimney Balloon Fireplace Damper 9"X9" Draft Stopper Pillow Plug Here

Pacific Coast Light Warmth 300 Thread Count Down Comforter - King
We love this medium one--I get cold easily, he gets warm easily. With our A/C on to about 65 degrees, I definitely need it all night and after he gets drowsy, the hubs will pull the covers on too. The hubs is sensitive to feathers and dust, but this one is fine for him. We haven't seen any feathers escaping and the ends haven't poked through the fabric at all. We love it!

Sound Oasis Natural Sounds Therapy System and Alarm Clock With FREE Spa Retreat Sound Card
Now for the BUT if you are looking for an easy to use and effective alarm clock, this may not be the one. It only has one alarm which is extremely slow to set, having only one button to set it forward and not back if you overshoot. Although it has an effective beep for the alarm, if you choose to wake via sounds, the only choice is the one you fell asleep to. Hard to get out of bed with the relaxing sounds of waves or hypnotic spa rhythms! Wish you could set separate sounds for sleep and wake. The long snooze duration, a full 10 minutes that cannot be changed is a bit too long, just long enough to fall back asleep completely. Its also far too easy to mistakenly hit the snooze button twice, which effectively turns off the alarm for the day. These flaws make for a frustrating alarm clock, even thought the unit is the best sleep aid I've ever used.
Buy Sound Oasis Natural Sounds Therapy System and Alarm Clock With FREE Spa Retreat Sound Card Now
The clock function buttons are a bit stiff but the sleep function and the sounds are great. I haven't used the spa sound card yet. I have always had trouble falling asleep but I am finally able to get to sleep.I have had a basic Brookstone sound machine that is a good 10 years old and was ready to upgrade. I am always so relaxed and sleepy when I am at the spa or getting a massage so I thought the Spa Sound card would be a nice change from the usual ocean sounds and thunderstorms. I like that this machine is very light and there are a lot of cool features like the "sleep enhancement" button that gradually slows the sounds down as the timer goes down and so somehow is supposed to lull you gently not just cut off abruptly. I am usually asleep way before then so cannot tell you if its true but I suppose it works as I have not had any trouble falling asleep. I like the different sounds and the music. I have had this for a week and half now and am loving it EXCEPT the alarm and clock setting feature. You have to set it with only one button and can not set the hour, minutes and am/pm separetely. So setting the alarm to one time and then trying to change it to another is nearly impossible. I use my phone as an alarm so it is not a hige deal for me. If you are looking for great sound machine I reccomend this. If looking an easy clock/alarm, not so much.I love the white noise sound. It truly helps me sleep more deeply. It masks room noises and is great as a sleep enhancer.The clock is another matter. In the past week, it has simply frozen like the North Pole more than six times in 7 days! The only solution is to take out all four batteries and find the tiny reset hole in at the bottom of the battery compartment, poke it with a paper clip and then reset the clock time and the alarm time....V E R Y, V E R Y S L O W L Y!! Do not overshoot the time you need on either function. You have to go back around a full 24 hours to try to get it right again. I read all the reviews before I ordered this machine and thought the others were being "picky" about the difficult setting procedures. Now, I know better. Thankfully, I am retired and do not have to depend on an alarm clock to get up and out of the house and to work on time.
I would not recommend this item as a clock. I have had no problem with the sound cards and the noises available are extremely soothing.

Smart Air Beds Deluxe Flock Top Raised Full Size Overnighter Air Bed with Built-In Pillow
The bed comes with a pump that inflates and deflates very quicklyI'd say under 5 minutes each way. It's not hands-free inflation, as the pump slips out of the valve, but it's so quick that it's not an issue. The pump can also be very loud, but this is not a top-of-the line air mattress with built in pump. I'd normally expect to get a LOT less for this price.
Opening and closing the valve is a little bit tricky, but is fine for anyone with deft fingers.
Pay attention to the instructions, they say to inflate/deflate the product several times before putting any weight on itthis allows the material to stretch and form properly, reducing the risk of burst seams.
I bought this as a temporary sleeping solution for a friend visiting from out of town. It was set up for over a week, and only deflated a small amount, which is great for any air mattress. It never had to be re-inflated. It is a very comfortable airbedeven I would be comfortable on it for a few nights, and I'm nine months pregnant. My friend was recovering from back and hip surgery, and had no problems with this bed.
Overall, I find it to be a great product, well worth the money, and I'd definitely recommend it or purchase again, should the need arise.Very simple full size bed. Inflates in a couple of minutes. Valve/cap is a little tricky, but otherwise, good. Recommened

Bought this bed back in the middle of November for a friend that was moving in with me, she's been sleeping on it for several weeks now and has no complaints. She says it's very comfy, so I'm glad that I opted to go with it. It's elevated, it's full sized and it inflates quickly.Great air bed! SUPER comfortable. Great quality. It will NEVER fit back into the bed it came in. NOT good for sleeping in a tent -it is WAY too big.I find it bizarre that the other reviewers of this this product have also reviewed so many other inflatable products by the same company.Friday, February 21, 2014

U.S. Polo Assn. 350-Thread Count 100-Percent Cotton Sateen Hemstitch Sheet Set
Out of the 3 sheet sets I bought, this is not the heaviest quality sheet (that prize goes to the Cottonova set), but it is certainly not "flimsy", and it is by far the softest. The color also was not an exact match to its online photo (that distinction also goes to the Cottonova set) the light blue color is not quite as bright as the photo shows but I really like the color in real life, so I'm perfectly happy with them.These sheets are a tad thin of perfect for me -even with a low room temp, I overheat while sleeping and can't use a blanket. High thread count sheets are much too warm; 350~450 count works best for me.
For comparison, a nice luxury hotel sheet is 900~1200 count. If you're expecting anything but a thin and "cheap" feeling sheet with a 350 thread count, you'll be very disappointed with these sheets.
-1 star: scratchy feel. These sheets are rather rough and scratchy compared to high quality low-count sheets. They'll probably soften up in 4~5 washings. Good sheets are soft right out of the box.
-1 star: bad color match. Thankfully color isn't critical for me, but I was expecting sheets that leaned more toward tan than chocolate.

I have searched high and low for yellow sheets to go with s beautiful Missoni-esque cover I bought some time ago. I was not disappointed with the colour of these sheets they are a gorgeous, bright buttercup yellow. They washed up beautifully and fabric has a lovely soft sheen. RecommendShort story, these are overpriced, very scratchy, and not worth them money.I ordered these sheets to replace a set of sateen sheets I had which had worn through. They felt fine out of the bag, I didn't need to use them for a few weeks, and so didn't think to wash them. After the first time through the wash, they came out incredibly scratchy. I decided to give them a go anyway, and used them, washed them again, and now they are even more scratchy.
They look good, but terrible to sleep on.

This pillow does not come with a pillowcase, but I have queen and standard pillowcases on either end (which covers it completely) until I can get a proper body pillowcase for it.
I like the way it bounces back and stays fluffy, it's exactly what I needed, and recommend this body pillow.At the time of this purchase, this pillow is the cheapest compared to all other ones, and its quality is great. It is soft, sufficiently filled, and has held up so far. It does not come with a cover, but is worth the money!
