Contour Kabooti Ring - Shaped Seating Pillow
1.RelaxoBak Orthopedic Comfort Cushion Personal Favorite Best
Pros:
Firmness helps with support, large cut out for the Coccyx, slanted, quality foam material and has a handle.
I'm a desk jockey, so I sat on this for 8+ hours a day and my hip flexors and coccyx are infitnitely better than without sitting on this for 8+ hours a day.
Without the pressure on my Coccyx, I've been able to sit with a more natural upright posture, rather than a slouched posture. Very happy :D
Cons:
It's ugly and has no cover
2. Contour Products Kabooti Comfort Ring (Donut Coccyx Cushion) Gray Cover Very soft and has a nice cover 2nd best
Personally I found this too soft, I pretty much sank in it, but my mom prefers this more to the RelaxoBak. Probably because of the donut hole and very soft.
Pros:
Very new age design with lots of functions, ie donut hole for your butt, slits and rounded corners for your thighs
donut hole, the foam material is high quality foam.
slanted, very nice gray cover
Cons:
I thought it was too soft, but some people liked the softness
Didn't really find a use for the donut hole in the middle
3. Large Medium-FIRM Wellness Seat Cushion (Size: 18" x 14" x 1-3/4" to 3-1/2". Color: Black) STAY AWAY TERRIBLE!
Pros:
Nice cover
Has one very thin layer of high quality foam
Cons:
Feels very cheap
The second layer of foam, which is "high quality" so the say...I thought it was the lowest quality foam. Cheap, and the foam felt like the foam used to just take up some space.Wow! What a great seat cushion. I purchased because I sit in front of a computer all day and my tailbone starts aching even before my first coffee break! I've been using the Kabooti cushion for about five days now and what a difference it makes. I've tried the basic donut ring but they're too wobbly, and the more traditional slanted seat cushions make me feel like I'm slipping off my chair. But the Kabooti's unique shape is just right. It provides an unbeatable sense of stability! The coccyx cutout protects my tailbone from painful pressure build-up. It's an incredibly comfortable seat cushion and I would recommend it to anyone who has a hard time sitting. I like it so much, I'm going to order another one for my car!

I suffer from Coccyx pain (tailbone) and if I sit too long it gets aggravated. This cushion brought me a lot of relief. I use it in the car, at home heck I even took it the movies with me. I just wish the cover came in more "girly" colors. : )Read Best Reviews of Contour Kabooti Ring - Shaped Seating Pillow Here
Great product! My husband has lower back problems and this really helps when he's stuck at his desk. I use one in the car.I had pain from too much sitting, right at the sit bones. I literally could not sit without pain! Other cushions, and a fitness ball helped little because the pressure was still on those bones/muscles, but this one has the hole in the middle and the firmness of the ring keeps the sit bones elevated. Use in the house, car, take on the plane, to the theater...it will save your butt.Sunday, July 20, 2014

Natura World Vibrance Pillow
Let me begin by saying I have a lot of sleep issues. I rotate and sleep on my stomach, both sides and back during the night. I can't stay in one position very long because it is too painful. I need a pillow that can support me no matter what my position. I like to bunch and fold my pillows so they are just the right shape and thickness, whatever that may be at the moment. In the past I've had some luck with feather pillows, but I found the feathers and dust to be intolerable. Down pillows did not provide enough support. Foam pillows did not have enough flexibility. So I stuck with standard polyester fill pillows for years. However replacing them frequently as they lose their loft seemed very wasteful. I wanted a "permanent" pillow.
I've seen other reviews which say they have owned latex pillows for well over a decade. Wool pillows are the same. So this should hold up over time. If standard polyester pillows cost $5 each and are replaced every 6 months, this pillow will only need to last 3.5 years to cost the same over time. It could easily last three times that long and end up saving money.
The core is granulated latex, not a solid piece, so it is very "scrunchable." It reminds me of a pillow with a feather core and down wrap as far as support. You'll probably like it if you like soft or medium pillows. It may not satisfy those who like a firm or extra firm pillow, although it is very supportive. For firm/extra firm lovers I recommend a solid wool pillow instead. The thin wool wrap on this pillow does help keep your head from overheating. This was a common complaint of mine until recently. I hate waking up with my head sweaty, but that doesn't happen now. I can scrunch it over and over again during the night and it's still just as fluffy as the first night. With the king size I can bend it into a U shape to support my head, neck and arms at the same time. It's very huggable and supports my knees well if I use it as a side pillow. I really don't have any complaints about it. I hope they never stop making this pillow because I don't ever want to sleep with a different pillow again. I'm buying more today.We were tired of buying and replacing cheap pillows that would lose their support within a few weeks, so I researched and discovered latex filled pillows. Love that these are all natural/unbleached, and filled with granulated latex so there's a little more give. They're very comfortable. I'm an all-positions sleeper (but mostly side) and like a good amount of firmness/support, my girlfriend is similar. We both love these pillows. They're not super firm, about medium, but they offer just enough support and they don't go soft/flat over time. Great pillows, and they seem like they'll last a long time. I'll update this if anything changes. Update: 5 months, still great.

I used these pillows for the first time last night and, after getting accustomed to a firmer pillow, had a great night's sleep. For side sleepers, the extra support reduces stress on shoulders--a big difference for those of us with shoulder issues! I love these pillows and would consider them a bargain at twice the price.Read Best Reviews of Natura World Vibrance Pillow Here
Like many, I've purchased dozens of pillows in my life and have never found one to suit my needs...until now. This one is cozy! It is light and fluffy but has just the right support for my noggin. There is a very faint, subtle odor to the pillow at first but it was gone after one day. I'm a side/stomach sleeper who can finally rest easy....I'd recommend this little gem to anyone!Want Natura World Vibrance Pillow Discount?
I bought this a few weeks ago, and wanted to really try it out before writing a review. When you are used to a particular pillow, even if you wish it were better, a change can be disruptive, and I did not want to "take it out" on this product. I think for many potential buyers this will be a great pillow. For those who are stomach sleepers as I generally am, then it may not be as good a choice. For further details, please keep reading.This pillow is different from any that I have owned previously. There is a bit of a chemical smell to it when new, but this dissipates after a few days as noted by other reviewers. One thing that you also notice right away is its weight. It is a dense heavy pillow. It has some give, but it is on the firmer side as far as pillows go, less firm than some memory foam pillows (from Costco) I have tried, but substantially firmer than feather/down pillows and synthetic fill pillows I have owned. If/when I sleep on my back, I find the pillow is comfortable. If you sleep on your side, the loft and firmness provide good neck support, and also make for a comfortable experience. So if you spend 90% of your time sleeping on your back or side, then add one to two stars to my rating. I think you would probably be quite happy with this pillow.
I spend 90% of my time sleeping on my stomach. For this sleeping position, the firmness and loft that work well for other sleeping positions become negative features. It is difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position when your spine is being bent backwards. I thought that after some period of time, the pillow might compress, form a bit of depression, provide neck support, and that this would make the pillow a bit more comfortable. So far this has not happened. The pillow seems to be maintaining its loft.
I am alternating between this pillow and a Hammacher-Schlemmer European goose down pillow (medium density). These down pillows go for close to $200 on the Hammacher-Schlemmer website. If you go to EBay and do searches for down pillows, you will occasionally find these from wholesalers and overstock sites for about $30-$50. They don't tell you it is Hammacher-Schlemmer. You have to compare the language of the ad with the language of the ad on the Hammacher-Schlemmer site. They do have a Hammacher-Schlemmer tag when you get them. So if you are a stomach sleeper and are patient, this might be a better solution. I checked on the day that I posted this review, and there were none listed, but after the holidays is a good time to look.

Haba Play Tent Caro-Lini
Buy Haba Play Tent Caro-Lini Now
Bought this tent for my four year old niece for Christmas. Just last week, my sister took down the Christmas tree, which cleared enough space to set it up. Ever since then...she can't get my niece out of it! And apparently, she drags all of her toys into it with herAs she squealed on the phone to me, the other night "It's my favorite!!!"
Highly recommend this item. Very well made, easy to set up, easy to take down (except for the ensuing flood of tears), bright and colorful, a perfect place to crawl into and dream

First off, YES. This is an expensive item for what it is. I have seen some of the other reviews and I am not understanding why everyone is complaining so much about the price.There is a reason why it's expensive. It's has the "look", and the feel of being pricier. All the other play tents out there are rather boring, dome-shaped affairs. This and the other Haba tents out there are more imaginative.
Secondly, I am happy with what I've purchased, I went all out and purchased the storage box/ottoman as well as the cushion. It is lots of fun for my 6yo, and even I get forced to get in there to read books and tuck in the dolls and animals before bedtime.
Thirdly--a nice modification we did: gett string of lights, you can clip them to the inside ceiling and voila, a little bit of light!
Want Haba Play Tent Caro-Lini Discount?
This was the most expensive play tent among the candidates that we considered. We chose it because of the design and detail. We are happy with it, although it is 2 or 3 times the price of some other similar tents. The build quality is good, with many additional fabric details and trim pieces. I think it is designed and made in Germany, which explains the price being higher than some of the other tents.The tent can be quickly assembled or disassembled. It has 6 tent rods, segmented in 3 pieces. It collapses to about a 20 inch diameter disc, and slips inside a fabric carrying case. Very easy to transport and set up in just a few minutes. The tent has no floor, btw. No tent stakes for outdoor use.
Overall, a great play tent, very much enjoyed by our daughter.

I bought this pillowcase after my hairdresser said my regular sheets were damaging my hair at night (hair breakage). My hair in the morning now is so soft and tangle-free. Plus the pillowcase stays cool at night no matter where you put your head! This color is a rich cream and goes with all of our sheet sets.Want Luxury Satin Pillow Case w/Hidden Zipper, King Discount?

Dorm Bedding Set: Dorm-Room-In-a-Box: Comforter, Sheet Set, Mattress Pad, Pillow, Towel set -Black L
PROS:
-All pieces present in one box
-shipped surprisingly quickly
-comforter is warm
CONS:
-colors were not the same as photo; sheets were black while the blue on the comforter is a somewhat lighter shade. Not a big deal, still looks nice.
-sheets are made out of a rough, plasticky fabric; it feels like sleeping on a cheaply-made American flag. This is the biggest con; there was a night I simply couldn't sleep because I wasn't used to it.
-comforter picks up lint like it's going out of style
-included pillow is cheap and forgettable
Overall I'm glad I have something, but wouldn't go for this brand again.

I like quality pillows & am used to down feather pillows, so I'm sure I'm more difficult to please than most. But this IS a nursery pillow. 1st complaint is that the stuffing is thin. It could have been filled with twice the filling. Its also much smaller than I expected but that's my fault for not getting out a tape measure when seeing the dimensions. Design is so cute & matches the crib bedding set I got perfectly & the price can't be beat, so overall I'm pleased enough not to return it. Just don't expect a super quality pillow or anything that will support your back... Its purely for looks.Read Best Reviews of Skip Hop Graphic Accent Pillow, Mod Dot Here
I purchased this pillow to use as a back rest pillow on my rocker chair in my son's nursery. From the measurements listed I expected it to appear a little larger than it does. It is truly a small accent pillow. I pictured it to be a slightly larger but thinner square pillow, but when I received it, it is puffier which causes it too not be as large around overall. Maybe it will spread out a little over use. It is of good quality and very soft fabric so it will still work for me.Wednesday, March 12, 2014

Rose Tree Quaternary Pillow
I have to disagree with the other review. I originally wanted to buy a very similar pillow sold by a high-end, well-known store. However, the high-end store charges approximately $70 for a similar pillow, which is just too expensive for me. So, I decided to do some research and found this pillow with very similar pattern and color to the more expensive pillow I originally wanted. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. The pillow is pretty, the cover is of high quality, and yes; although the insert is firm, most decorative pillows have firm inserts. These are made to make your living room (or whatever room you choose) look prettier and more stylish, it is not meant for naps or sleep. I would definitely recommend this product. I have a chocolate color couch and the pillow looks beautiful against brown.It is a beautiful decorative pillow. I bought four pillows total. Unfortunately, after I washed them in a washing machine; the scrolls came off. The scrolls are actually glued.

It looks like it is beige and the flower lime green , but it is white not beige.....i love it anywayWell, I've learned that it's hard to buy throw pillows online. A Trina Turk pillow that I bought is lacking (see my other review) and this one is not a favorite either. I bought both for a little-used sofa in my living room and that's what this and the Trina Turk pillow are good for -show only. This one has a stiff, overstuffed foam insert that makes it impossible to adjust and the inflexibility makes it uncomfortable. Also, the slick, satin cover is slippery so you can never get any support from it, it keeps slipping away. I guess I'll just have to admire it from afar.
