Finally, a comfortable pillow with a cotton cover. – Deluxe Homes’ Gel Fiber Pillows.

Standard

gel-pillows-1

I am insane about the pillows I use. I use multiple. Yes, I am one of those. I was so lucky, and found these on a flash sale, so I grabbed them. Normally I am hesitant about ordering pillows online. I have had bad experiences of them arriving and reeking of chemicals, and then having an anaphylactic reaction to them. I have insane allergies, and have to be so careful about my pillows. These pillows arrived in the most comical way. The box was heavy, and smaller, so I did not expect there to be 2 queen sized pillows in it. When I opened the box, it looked like there were two large cocoons in it, I kid you not. When you open the box, you will see two tightly wrapped up pillows. Each pillow is tightly wrapped up in a roll, and held in place with saran type wrap and packing tape. Fortunately, they are made in the USA, so I wasn’t too worried. I was so surprised that after I careful unwrapped them, they popped right out into pillow form. It took like no time at all, to be fully puffed right back up. Be very, very careful unwrapping them, though. Besides peeling, tugging, at the wrap, I had to occasionally use a pair of scissors and cut my way through the wrap and tape. I was afraid I was going to cut the pillow. After unveiling them, I found them to be odor free! They were also very clean, soft, and fluffy, and quite comfortable! These are not firm pillows at all. So, if you require a firm pillow, these are not for you. You sink into these. They do spring right back, though. These are meant to be squished and held, and pulled to support your head and neck. I sleep on my side a lot, and pull the pillow down on that side to my shoulder, to fully support my neck. This can be done with these pillows. The same goes if I lie on my back. I can grab a side of the pillow and pull it down over to each shoulder, thus again, fully supporting my neck. I had full whiplash from an accident in my past, along with my constant swollen throat from my anaphylactic reactions. So, supporting my neck is very important while I sleep. The gel fibers are made out of a Micro Denier Poly Fiber. They state that it is tougher than silk fibers. I personally do not have a way to test that, lol. But, they are performing better than my all cotton fill pillows, that have fallen apart after 6 months. I am very happy with these gel fiber down alternative pillows. The stitching was all done tight and on point. My pillows had no imperfections upon arrival. They do not bother my insane number of allergies at all. The internals haven’t become all twisted and malformed from my type of sleeping with them. Overall, I am a very happy camper with these pillows.

Great side table fan. – Aura Bladeless Fan, Oscillating Fan, With Decorative LED Light & Remote Control (Silver).

Standard

My husband is always hot. I swear he has an internal furnace. I, on the other hand, am always on the colder side. So, a fan is a great option for us. I tend to be a little clutsy, and my younger son is a bull in a china shop. So, I love the bladeless fan option. I like how there are more affordable options than the creator of the bladeless fan. With this fan, I don’t have to worry about anyone hurting themselves, or knocking things into it. It has a high and low setting, and even LED lights, if needed. The icing on the cake with this fan, is the remote control. It works really well. You need to face it to the front of the fan, and it is very responsive. The only action that can be a little temperamental with the remote, is the “sway” option. This is the button you press when you want the fan to slowly turn 180 degrees. It turns left to right, and really spreads the breeze. Sometimes, I have to press it several times for it to pick up this action. It has always eventually picked it up for me, though. The actions that you can choose with both the remote and from the buttons on the front of the fan are: Power, Sway, Low, High, and Lights. The high and low are represented by a + and – signs on the fan itself. The light option on the fan is shown by a lightbulb, and the sway option is shown by a circle with an arrow on the end of it, on the fan. The fan buttons are subtle, but you can tell what they are if you look closely at them. They are very responsive, and work right away for me every time, so far. The white LED lights surround the base of the fan. I really love the lighting. It is subtle, and looks great on. It helps light the area at night, but it is not too bright, and does not keep us up at night. You can run the lights independently from the fan. I like that option a lot. They do not get hot to the touch either. This is not a strong blowing fan. It is a great side table fan. It will not cool down an entire room. It does a great job for close proximity; for example, if you put it by you when you are in bed, or sitting on the couch. The fan is actually a lot quieter than regular fans. Yes, it does make noise. The internal parts blow the air up into the upper archway, and the air blows out of the groove along the archway, into your room. It really is a nice working fan. You do have to snap the top part onto the lower half, upon arrival. It can be really finicky too. I kept feeling like I was going to break it. It took more over 10 tires, but I finally was able to snap it together. Once snapped in, it is seated pretty tight. It doesn’t shake or wobble at all. The power cord is separate, and attaches at the base of the fan. It is a regular 2 prong plug. So far, so good. I am comfortable recommending this product.

Full protection for your mattress from Goodgram on Amazon.

Standard

I can’t even imagine not using a mattress protector on a mattress. We grew up using them, and we always use them now as well. It’s a great way to limit the dust and dead skin cells from gathering in your mattress. They really help prolong the life of your mattress’ as well. It’s really impossible to actually clean and disinfect a mattress through and through. Surface cleaning is what is really going on. Nowadays we have bed bugs, and creepy crawlies to contend with. The whole thought of that is beyond gross. This mattress protector can actually be your third layer of protection since it’s not padded. Your mattress fits inside of it, and zippers shut. It’s an encasement for your mattress. This particular mattress protector is from Goodgram’s. It’s made out of 100%polyester. I have problems with that fabric, so I would have to use a regular mattress protector over that. Since your mattress has to fit entirely inside of this product, I recommend it anyway. It’s not convenient to just take this off and wash it. You do not have to worry about shrinkage with this though because of what it is made out of. They call this a triple protection layer: waterproof, allergen resistant, and bed bug resistant. It is really waterproof too. I poured a ton of water on it, and it just on top of it like a puddle; too cool. There is minimal stitching overall on this unit, but what there is was done tight and on point. It has that faint, normal sent to a polyester fabric like this. Nothing strong or out of the ordinary. Overall, I find this mattress protector to be a solid form of protection for your mattress. They offer it in all sizes as well. The particular one that I tested, was in full size.
