Elmsford Sham, Multi

Elmsford King Sham, MultiI'm not sure why they say they are quilted on the packaging. They are simply about 200 thread count 100% Cotton Euro Shams. Wash in cold and warm Iron dry. I'm hoping they last for the price. They are over priced for the quality but they match the rest of the Elmsford colors.

I love this sham. Be prepared, have a healthy sized standard pillow waiting for it. I liked the first one so much I ordered two. They are well made, durable, and can "connect" so many different colors in a decor, making things that didn't look like they match look coordinated. Whether sitting pretty on my bed or serving as a cushion on the floor, these shams are a great addition to my bedroom. This is NOT a paid review, I just really love great products. Oh, and it stands up well in the wash too one i had to wash twice already. Looks a good.

Contoured Pillow Neck Support Cushion

Contoured Pillow Neck Support CushionJust got this pillow today and took a nap with it. I woke up with no stiff neck or neck pain for once! It is pretty firm , but yet it is comfortable. It is for back-sleeping only though. I see no possible way this would be comfortable for sleeping on one's side.

Contour Kabooti Ring - Shaped Seating Pillow

Contour Kabooti Ring - Shaped Seating Pillow, BLUEI didn't know which butt cushion to get so I bought three different kinds. I ultimately kept 2 of the 3 that I bought. But I'll give you the jist of it. Ranking with 1 3, 1 being the best and 3 being the worst.

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. : )

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.

Want Contour Kabooti Ring - Shaped Seating Pillow Discount?

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.

Algoma Hammock Pillow

Deluxe Comfort Pillow Color: GarnetI ordered this pillow to go with the oversize hammock I got for my husband for Father's Day. It looks great on the white rope hammock and is a nice contract to the green grass below. However, the first rain we had the pillow did bleed a little onto the hammock, but we really didn't care since all of it is for outdoor use. The pillow is comfortable and a good size since our hammock is extra wide. It also dries out nicely after it rains.

Textiles Plus Inc 55-Percent Cotton Placemat, Set of 6

Textiles Plus Inc 55-Percent Cotton Placemat, Summer Floral, Set of 6Very versatile print. These placemats would like great on ANY table top, from oak to black hi gloss. Classy colors! Nice to get six in a set instead of having to buy two sets which usually come 4/set! Love 'em.

These were a wonderful addition to my table settings. They are really good fabric and well made with a material backing which makes them sturdier. Love them!

Natura World Vibrance Pillow

Natura World Vibrance Pillow, StandardI've become tired of replacing polyester fill pillows over and over again. I've tried memory foam, feather, down, mixed and I've never found the "right" one until now. This is it.

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

Haba Play Tent Caro-LiniVERY CUTE! Well made! A bit expensive overall. We have had five children in at one time comfortably. All under the age of 6. So there is room for toys and lots of make believe. It does take up some space. So either be prepared to have the space or patience to keep taking it up and down (approx 3-5 min). Also our 2 cats seem to like jumping in and out of the windows and playing inside it also.

Aside for the cost, this tent was a no-brainer. The colors are perfect for any child's room not fashioned after a license character and the structure is more sturdy than you'd find in your run-of-the-mill toy isle tents. The details are well thought out and the inner height makes it easy for adults to enjoy it too or at least more than some tents. Perfect purchase.

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 her

As 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.

Geometric Cowhide Center Stripe Pillow by Wild Mannered- 16' x 16'- CreamThe 16x16 inch pillow is really pretty cool; the pillow insert is not super fluffy so the pillow is rather flat but it looks great on my loveseat with other grey and ivory pillows. The fabric on the front of the pillow on either side of the cowhide is actually a bit darker than expected, but still is light enough. I'd call it off-white. I am happy with the pillow, and the price is awesome. Prompt shipping as well.

Soft Comfortable Wales National Flag Blanket size: 50"x60"

Soft Comfortable Wales National Flag Blanket size: 50'x60'This is a decent throw but I think it falls short of qualifying as a blanket in my opinion. It seems about half the thickness of a common fleece throw, but the colors are good and it is fairly well made. I doubt it would take much rough handling. Overall I am happy with it because I bought it primarily as a decoration.

Dorm Bedding Set: Dorm-Room-In-a-Box: Comforter, Sheet Set, Mattress Pad, Pillow, Towel set -Black L

Dorm Bedding Set: Dorm-Room-In-a-Box: Comforter, Sheet Set, Mattress Pad, Pillow, Towel set -Black Lt. Blue- Twin XL 10 Pc SETI am getting ready to head off to college and therefore need all new bedding. This set has everything you would need for a complete bedding set including a mattress pad, pillow, and a towel set! For all around 100 bucks you cannot beat this deal, especially for a college student with a budget. The fact that it comes with a few towels made it that much easier on me, it's one less thing to buy, and the towels aren't bad quality. Also, the comforter is warm, the pillow is soft, and the sheets are very nice as well, I would definitely recommend it to everyone I know.

I purchased this to fill a dorm room for an 8-week summer program, so I wanted something cheap I could simply have shipped there, to avoid having baggage on the plane. Looking back I should have just brought some sheets and purchased a blanket on-site, because for 100 dollars, the quality isn't nearly enough.

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.

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.

Rose Tree Quaternary Pillow

Rose Tree Quaternary Pillow, Green*** Unfortunately I have to edit the review below... The green pattern came unglued... I'll have to buy special glue for fabrics and try to fix it. I still love the way the pillow looks, but I'm disappointed with the quality.

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.

Well, 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.
