Buy Trafalgar 7 Piece Comforter Set in Spa Blue Now
As others have noted, the blue on this bedding is not as light as the online picture seems...it is somewhere between a Tiffany blue and light blue. If you are trying to match Tiffany blue, this will be obviously different and not work. I was trying to match a "sea blue" and it works perfectly it really is very pretty!! The only thing I don't like is how delicate the embroidered flowers can be I snagged one with my nail and pulled several stitches out. I would NOT recommend this to anyone who lets animals on the bed as their nails will destroy it!I found this set to be so pretty and such a good fit for my high mattress set, that I actually kicked my cats and dogs out of the bedroom so they don't ruin it. Just treat it a little gently and it will continue to look gorgeous!

The pictures *are* misleading in relation to colours. I thought this would be bluish-silvery and pink. Instead it's more of a coral-brown colour and brighter blue. The quality is "good enough" as well. Lots of strings hanging off and some of the stitching of the design can be seen coming undone. Yes, if you really wanted to, you could dedicate a few hours to fixing it yourself having matched the thread perfectly. The sausage pillow could be easily discarded as it gives it an even cheaper look: comes misshaped (even more than the rest of them) and the quality.. well you get the picture. Good enough for a first time queen set though.The design is very beautiful but I felt like the material was a little on the cheap side. When I got it out of the package I had to cut a bunch of loose strings. Other than that it looks beautiful on my bed. LOVE the colors.Wednesday, July 30, 2014

Croscill Pima Cotton Stripe Mattress Pad
UPDATE:
I have now had the mattress pad for almost two months. It has been washed and dried several times and is still in the same condition as when I bought it. It is soft enough to sleep on without sheets and works well to protect the mattress with liquid accidents. It doesn't hold stains either from my experiences. I haven't noticed any pilling or signs of wear. This pad is well worth the money spent, I would buy it again.I have three of these in my bed & breakfast and appreciate them for the way they appear, fit, and hold up to repeated washing. A good value.

This mattress pad is made by a leader in the industry, Croscill. It is not cheap at $40, but you get what you pay for. In particular, I had to have the 20 inch extension on the cover because I have a pillow top mattress and have added a two inch plus foam top over that because of back and neck injuries. This cover fits everything easily, and it is very well made.Read Best Reviews of Croscill Pima Cotton Stripe Mattress Pad Here
This was my review for the first pad I purchased (5 stars):"This is by far the best mattress pad I have owned. I found it to be of good construction. It is deep enough to fit my 15" mattress without slipping off. The side material is sheer cotton, but I have had no issues with it as some of the negative reviewers have. It is far superior to the elastic material you find on most deep pads. And the product is made in the USA, so by purchasing it you are helping folks out in this country rather than sending money and jobs overseas."
So, I purchased a second. The product has changed. The styling is different and it is now lower quality. Instead of cotton, the sides are now the papery-thin material described by other reviewers. Sure enough, my finger punched right through it, just like other reviewers. Looks like the company has decided to cut costs and corners. Look elsewhere.

This is such an awesome mattress pad. I've washed it, used it for a while now. It is far superior to any other mattress pad I've had and it is more affordable than others I looked at when I shopped.It does not slip around at all! It has enough grab and length to fit almost any mattress I would think. Get this! I have receommended it to everyone and will definately buy it again for any other beds I own!

Sleep Studio Sleep Joy® ViscoFresh Memory Foam Advanced Contour Pillow
The green tea fragrance is barely noticeable, however I believe it keeps it from having that nasty "foamy smell" some others are known for. This pillow keeps its shape and supports perfectly. I was in an auto accident last year and have suffered from neck/shoulder pain since. This pillow has put an end to that!
I couldn't be more excited about this pillow!

I am throwing out my memory foam pillow that i bought to help my sleeping posture. I was hoping to alleviate chronic neck pain but it has been months and it never helped. In fact I think it has been making my neck problems worse rather than better. This pillow is MUUUCH better. So glad I came across it while browsing at my local Boscov's. It has a nice light, sweet minty smell kind of like mint chocolate chip ice-cream-i quite like it, it's better than a chemical odor most foams have. I love that this pillow is soft, not hard, yet it has a nice spongy feeling with good support. I definitely feel some relief from my chronic neck/shoulder pain when using this pillow. I am so relieved to be experiencing less pain at night, it sure is a welcome thing when you are trying desperately to sleep. In the morning I notice that my neck feels less compressed and it flexes better when i rotate from side to side so to me this is a sign that it really is helping my condition. I hope with continued use I feel more improvement, this pain has been with me well over a year now and it is really taking a toll on me.I don't know about the longevity of this pillow as i haven't owned it long enough. It has a 2 year warranty and i really hope it lasts that long. But honestly if it wears out in a year or even a few months i'll simply buy another. After what i've spent over the last year on numerous Dr. office visits, diagnostic tests, prescriptions and physical therapy i will spring for another $30 pillow if i need to.

I bought these two months ago, fluffed them according to directions. They feel so promising in the box, but once you use them and therefore can't return them you realize they are 10-lb. hunks of play-doh. I actually developed neck and back pain from using them. As an added bonus they have a faint chemical smell coming from them. I threw away the "pillows" inside the zippered covers and used the covers for my nice new Royal Velvet down pillows. Now that was a nice night's sleep.Read Best Reviews of Sleep Innovations Memory Foam Micro Cushion Grande Pillows - 2 Pack Here
This review regards the single Sleep Innovations Gel Foam Cluster Gusseted Pillow received via Vine Voice. I'm having trouble finding this exact item in the product list.If I keep my head buried in something for 8 hours a day, it has to be perfectly comfortable for my head. If my head is not comfortable, the neuron circuit board inside my head will not shut down. As a result, nothing in the room sleeps. Ask my wife.
This was my 3rd attempt at trying a foam pillow. If it worked, I'd buy the
king size.
With this pillow, every time my body tried to roll over my head felt like it was trapped in a ditch and wanted to stay in place. Punching a foam pillow doesn't work. I'm way too old to be engaged in a pillow fight at 3 a.m...or any other fight as far as that goes. Less than half way through the night, I switched back to my CleanRest Allergy Free King pillow which I've been sleeping on since 2008. I love my CleanRest.
Some sleepers think these new gel foam pillows are the greatest invention since the wheel. Guess what? They might be right.
This cluster Serta pillow is fantastic as a stationary support for my back or legs in a chair or lounger. It transforms most any chair, recliner or sofa, especially the oversized versions, into custom-fitted pieces of furniture just for you. A larger pillow would not work.
My back and butt love this pillow. My head hates it. It's either heads or tails. Tails wins.

I have purchased 8 Sleep Innovations Memory Foam Cluster pillows. I placed them on every bed in our home and bought two for a family member. I would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates the following features in a pillow:~ The cover has a nice thread count making it nice to touch, is well-made and zips off for laundering
~ The pillow is firm and substantial providing an excellent support for head and neck.
~ The clusters do have to be fluffed occasionally, how difficult is that?
~ This pillow will rival the best Down or Feather pillow for comfort and luxury that Down pillows afford.
~ They look good in the pillowcases, and make my beds look nice.
~ The price cannot be beat anywhere. Amazon was cheaper than Wal Mart for a better pillow, including shipping. 2 for this price is a sweet deal!!!
~ Also, the packing and shipping were excellent. Thank you Amazon for a great shopping experience..

Falcons Northwest NFL Body Pillow
Every year they say the latest version is going to be incredible. And at first it seems to be. Strong, dependable, and you're absolutely assured it'll go the distance. Then January rolls around and it collapses completely, usually around halfway through use.
Apparently the manufacturers of these products suggest that buying a new house to house the product in will result in it actually committing to work 100% of the time.

My son liked this pillow but I think that it should have had an NFL Falcons pillow case as well. It's impossible to wash a pillow of this size but having pillow cases would solve any problems concerned. I suggest that the manufacturers add pillow cases.Great looking body pillow...at first. After a couple uses the colors fade drastically! Still very comfortable to sleep on, though.My son loves this pillow he says it is really comfortable, I tried to put a pillow case on it and he said you can't cover the name or logo!Tuesday, April 29, 2014

I would recommend this cushion, definately.I ordered these for my patio to go with some dark teak dining chairs They are lovely and thick and very comfortable to sit on. The colour is nice and rich and the quality seems very good. These are heavy cushions which I believe will stand up well to many years of wear and tear. I live outside the USA so making mistakes with purchasing and exporting can be very costly but I am happy to say that this was a great buy which I am delighted with.

Comfort Clinic 2-Inch VE Memory Foam Mattress Topper
Medium quality foam is about 4 lbs per cubic foot. As the foam becomes less dense, it is softer and may not last as long. Some people actually prefer the 4 lb foam over the 5, due to the softness. If you go much lighter than 4 lbs though, you will be lacking in quality. I personally look for 4 lb. foam, minimum.
I bought this with high hopes, since you can calculate a topper's density if you have the dimensions, and total weight. The formula is: (total weight X 1728) / (LXWXH).
I noticed in the amazon listing that the shipping weight for this item was about 24 pounds. I figured 4 pounds of that may be packaging for the shipping process, so estimated a pad weight of 20-21 pounds. A queen pad is usually 60X80, and these toppers usually skimp a couple inches off either side. A lot of times they are about 57X78 or something around there. I used 57X78X2 in the formula. Doing the math, it looked like this was about a 4 lb topper. This would be a steal at this price.
Well, you get what you pay for. I received the topper, and weighed it to double check the calculations. It actually weighs only about 14 pounds. This works out to be about 2.7 lb/cubic foot density. Pretty lame if you ask me. I don't want it...so I sent it back and amazon was completely amazing about making the process easy.
The thing that did suprise me, beyond the super-light weight of the topper, was that when I reached into the bag to feel the foam, it did still have a gel feel to it. Not quite like my 5 pound topper, but not bad. This may not be a bad topper, but I didn't trust it at 2.5 pound density. I bought one from Overstock instead that says it is 4 pounds and is less than $10 more than amazon's price with a coupon. I hope the overstock topper is the right density...since they've had problems there.
So, if it helps any, at least you know the density of this topper is about 2.7 pounds/cubic foot. Wish I had known when I bought it....but I'm very glad I bought it from Amazon and had an easy return.I was really dissappointed in the quality of the Comfort Clinic topper. It doesnt state what density this memory foam is made of, but it is not very supportive at all. Cannot recommend this product at all.

Bought this and have had it about a week or so. My bed was pretty comfortable before, but my guest room has a pillow-top mattress and I was a little jealous of how nice and soft it always felt. I was here purchasing something else, and wanted to get another item when I remembered feeling one of these memory foam mattresses while shopping for a couch. I went ahead and got this one off of Amazon since the price was right.Anyway, slapped it on the bed, waited for it to expand (it comes in a very small box, with the foam mattress rolled up and compressed.) After it expanded I noticed that it wasn't the same size as the mattress. It's short by like an inch on every side. The instructions say this is on purpose, although what purpose it serves is beyond me, other than to be annoyingly smaller than the mattress. It's definitely noticeable if you sleep with one or both hands under your pillow, because there's a gap between the headboard and the foam topper.
The topper itself is incredibly comfortable, and I find it pretty hard to get out of bed sometimes because of it. It's hard to explain, it's just very soft but supportive, and extremely pleasant.
Pros: Very very comfortable.
Cons: The topper doesn't cover the whole mattress for some crazy reason. Even so, I would still recommend it for those who don't have a pillow top mattress.

I was glad to find a mattress topper for my XL twin bed at a reasonable price, but I don't think that the foam is what I would call true "memory foam". It is not as comfortable as a previous topper that I had---which was too short for my bed, unfortunately for me. I was supicious when I unwrapped the topper, as the foam appeared to be a less dense type of foam than what I expected. Oh well, it is still better than my regular mattress alone.Want Comfort Clinic 2-Inch VE Memory Foam Mattress Topper Discount?
I purchased this item for my sons twin bed. I cut it down to fit perfectly. I have purchased a memory foam topper for my own King Size bed elsewhere and paid way more.

I ordered this right before Hurricane Sandy, and that of course delayed the shipping of the product. Other than that, the blanket is very nice. I am not a teenage girl but I've shown it to three girls and they love it. I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my niece and I am sure to become the favorite aunt!The only thing I have to suggest, is to air out the blanket for a bit. It has a certain smell to it, probably from storage or the platic it's shipped in. I let mine air out a couple of days and it was fine. I don't think that is a big deal.The fleece blanket was big and soft and so warm on cold nights. Would buy another in a heart beat.

The Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Cloud STANDARD Pillow
The only flaw is its size. Since it is a relatively newer product, it is only available in the standard size. I called Tempurpedic this morning and was told a queen size would be available in December 2011. There is no plan to produce the king size at this point. What a pity.I was skeptical about this pillow since I am a down pillow addict. But my neck hurt every morning for months now. It sounds nuts but the morning after using this pillow, no neck pain! And so it goes now after 3 months of use. It is kind of small but I don't mind. I recommend using the pillow as is without removing the washable cover and trying to fit it into a pillow case. The cover washes well. I don't put it in a hot dryer.
I would buy this pillow again if anything happens to the one I have.

After I got my Tempurpedic Cloud bed, my old neck foam pillows just weren't cutting it. I tried getting a generic and significantly cheaper "viscoelastic" foam pillow on Amazon (the review is somewhere in my profile). It now belong to my cat. So, I tried the kidney-shaped tempurpedic which was somewhat cheaper (The Symphony) and that was okay but I still thought I could do better. I figured since I had the Cloud mattress, I should go for the Cloud pillow so I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and exchanged it. It's okay but way overpriced, in my opinion. In retrospect, I wish I would've kept the Symphony. It was less expensive and just as comfy.Read Best Reviews of The Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Cloud STANDARD Pillow Here
I had neck and back pain for years now and I contributed it to getting older thing. Every night I was tossing and turning a 100 times only to wake up feeling like a train wreck. So out of the blue my husband decided to buy these pillows at a Bedding Barn because they has a special. When he brought them in I said something along the lines of "yeah right, did you buy into the TV commercial too?" But.... I regretted about my comment the next morning. I mean seriously, if my neck was hurting to the point of feeling somewhat crippled every morning, that night I haven't even woken up once. My head sunk into the pillow in such a comfortable way that I didn't feel the need to turn in the middle of my sleep. I was surprised, I really was. I felt not in pain in the morning and had more energy during the day as a result. I love this pillow. My back is still a challenge but getting Tempurpedic mattress would be on my to-do list now. I am a believer now.Want The Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Cloud STANDARD Pillow Discount?

Silent Vibrating Personal Alarm Clock "Shake-N-Wake"
I discovered that pressing the "Time Set" and "Mode" button simultaneously toggles the hourly chime on and off. When the date display indicates "SU MO TU WE TH FR SA" after pressing these buttons simultaneously, the hourly chime is on. The date display will go blank after toggling the hourly chime off.
You surely will want to turn the hourly chime off. Your local church may get away with ringing its bells every hour, but your shake-n-wake must not. It is disappointing that the instructions do not mention this feature, and that customer support was not able to help the person who wrote the earlier review.I'm an Amazon Prime Member and purchase a lot of things. This by far has been my best purchase; because it changes how your entire day goes from the moment you wake up.
I have had this alarm clock for about 2 months now. My Wife and I just had a baby recently and she sleeps beside our bed for the time being; the baby, not the wife. Before I got this Vibrating Alarm Clock I used my usual phone alarm clock to wake me up. I'm hard to wake up too. The phone would go off and wife would wake up, dogs would wake up, baby would obviously wake up and in a panic, I'm trying to shut off my phone in a dizzy haze. Sometimes hitting the snooze and repeating if it didn't happen to wake everyone up the first time, or the phone would just lock up and not go off and I would be late to work. Talk about rough mornings.
Now with the Shake-n-Wake Alarm Clock I wear it on my wrist at night. I wake up very early in the morning to run before I go to work. It vibrates and wakes me up without fail every single time without startling me. I'm not in a panic to shut it off in fear of waking everyone up. I get in my run before work and the rest of the day is splendid, not to mention the wife, and baby get to sleep a few more hours.
A few people have mentioned the hourly alarm annoyance flaw. Not a flaw, just an option. Maybe the flaw was it was left out of some of the instructions. I shut it off day one and it never comes back. Just pressing the "Time Set" and "Mode" button simultaneously toggles the hourly chime on and off. When the date display indicates "SU MO TU WE TH FR SA" after pressing these buttons simultaneously, the hourly chime is on. The date display will go blank after toggling the hourly chime off. Very easy, not worth even close to trashing this product over that.
I've also heard people complain about the arm strap. I've not had any problems with mine and wearing it 5 days a week for 2 months now and does not look to be wearing out. I imagine if it does ever break I will quickly be at the fabric store fix it or make a new one. I love this thing and after my baby moves to her nursery, I'm sure I'll still be wearing it. Even if I'm alone in bed, I'll probably still use it, because even as hard as it is to wake me up with a loud alarm clock, the Shake-n-Wake wakes me up nice and easy.
I recommend this product!

My kid wears hearing aids, due to severe hearing loss, so she finds it hard to wake up to an alarm. I found this item on Amazon.com and have had a lot of success with it. Once we set the time and alarm time, there is a switch on or off, that my daughter uses to activate it. She puts it on her arm, and is vibrates continually until she turns it off. She has noticed that it also vibrates every hour, a few quick vibrations, then off on it's own ~ not sure how to turn that feature off, but other than that we love it. She has her independence without waking up the rest of the house to loud obnoxious alarms or one of us having to get up to wake her up.Read Best Reviews of Silent Vibrating Personal Alarm Clock "Shake-N-Wake" Here
I'm a heavy sleeper, and it always wakes me up if I have someplace important to be. For peace of mind, I still set a back-up alarm across the room to go off 5 minutes later. To the watch's credit, the backup has never been necessary in the many months I've used the watch. When I want to wake up on the weekend, though, I tend to fumble with the buttons when it vibrates, and turn it off without actually waking up. (This coming from a guy who used to require a password-protected alarm clock to wake up for work.)Pros: Inexpensive, easy battery replacement, clip on back so you can use it without the strap, and totally reliable for me (depends on how you sleep and wake).
Cons: Bulky, slips off the strap when awake (but not yet while sleeping, and I toss and turn a lot!), and very short backlight time.
Other notes: Another commenter already pointed this out, but the instructions that come with the watch made no mention of the hourly chime. Hold 'Reset/Time Set' and press 'Mode' to clear the 'SU M TU W TH F SA' to deactivate the chime. There's also a snooze function, which I think is activated by hitting any of the buttons except the light button.
Now that I trust that vibrations will wake me, I'm going to give the WobL 8 Alarm Vibrating Watch Silver a try, mainly because it's less bulky.

I have to wake up early for work and I hate having a loud alarm that wakes up my girlfriend as well, so I was delighted when she bought me this.It is a little bit on the loud side, but generally not loud enough to wake up my girlfriend who sleeps right next to me.
I typically strap the alarm to my ankle to ensure that I feel it going off (I sleep heavily). I find the strap too annoying to wear on my wrist, but it's fine on my ankle. The clip that attaches to the strap is a bit poorly designed, so it occasionally falls off of me in my sleep -maybe once per month or less. I have a backup alarm for this situation that I always turn off after the Shake-N-Wake wakes me up.
Recently it started going off every hour and I couldn't use it; the instruction guide does not explain how to turn this setting on or off. Luckily, one of the other Amazon reviewers explained how to do so: you just press Reset/Time Set and Mode simultaneously. When the hourly alarm is turned on, it will show SU M TU W TH F SA at the top as you hold these two buttons; when you deactivate it, it will show no days while you are holding the buttons. Thanks for figuring this out, other reviewer!
If the buzzing was a little less loud I'd give this a 5-star rating, but it suits my needs well, and it may the case for heavier sleepers that the louder buzzing is useful. I can imagine that it would be very useful for people who:
1) Sleep with a partner but don't want to wake up the partner
2) Are heavy sleepers who will be more likely to wake up with a physical component to their alarm
3) Want to sleep/take naps in certain situations without a loud alarm going off, like on a plane, waiting for a bus, etc.
