Buckwheat pillows are commonplace in Japan but not so in most Western countries. This prompted the creator of this particular brand of buckwheat pillow to duplicate the well loved pillows he owned as a child living in Japan.

The Organic Buckwheat Pillow is filled with 100% organic buckwheat hulls which have been grown in American and are free from pesticides and herbicides. The buckwheat’s are triple cleaned to remove dust, buckwheat flour and debris from the hulls.

The pillow case is made from 100% unbleached cotton and comes with a zip to allow you to remove some of the buckwheats if you find that the pillow is a little too full so you can adjust it to suit your needs. This also allows you to wash the pillow casing when required.

One of the benefits of buckwheat pillows is that air can circulate through the pillow. This keeps the pillow cool throughout the night. They are also reported to help relieve headaches, stiff and sore necks, muscle pain and tension. They are also thought to help to improve sleep.

The Basic Comfort Handy’s Plus Pad will protect your mattress during the stay-dry-through-the-night potty training process and for heavy-sleeping older bed-wetters. It would also be useful for those suffering incontinence due to age or a medical conditions. These super absorbent and waterproof pads, able to hold up to six cups of liquid, will take care of all those little accidents that are just a fact of life.

Sized for a twin bed, this product is 38-inches by 28-inches, with the longer side intended to hang down and be tucked under the mattress. This “tuck-in” design cuts down on shifting through the night if you have an active sleeper. Some users have reported that the sides aren’t quite long enough to tuck under and stay put on a super fluffy, pillow top mattress.

Be aware that the Basic Comfort Handy’s Plus Pad only covers a portion of the bed; if you need full coverage you will need to use several pads.

Other practical ways to use the Basic Comfort Handy’s Plus Pad (and keep your nice things staying nice) is to lay one along the length of the couch your little one prefers. In the event your child falls asleep during a movie or for a nap, you won’t have to worry about an accident. I always used a waterproof pad under the slipcover of my couch and it saved my upholstery from some horrific vomit events. Also, if you are travelling, be a good guest and bring along this easy-to-fold-up waterproof pad and save yourself the embarrassment of having to let your host know of an “oops”!

For maximum absorbency, the manufacturer recommends washing and drying in your normal laundry cycle to remove fabric sizing and additives. Another benefit with the size of this waterproof pad is that it is less bulky to wash than a full mattress pad or encasement. After dozens of washes, the ends can begin to curl up although it still remains easy to tuck in. All and all, this is a great solution to a problem that will hopefully be outgrown soon in just a few months or years.

I’ve always like the Tommy Hilfiger brand with its classic American styling and quintessential, laid-back coolness. This designer started out in 1985 with a menswear collection and soon branched into many upper-end textiles including bedding; this Tommy Hilfiger 200-Thread-Count Printed Sheet Set
reminds me of those preppy early days.

The design, appropriately named “Christopher Stripe”, features a handsome, button-down-shirt-look with stripes in navy blue and light blue with white and red accents. An understated and yet still unique look for a young man’s bedroom or guest quarters. With a slightly nautical flavor, you might just feel as if you were slipping off for a nap in your chaise in the Hamptons.

Fashioned from 200-thread count combed cotton, these Tommy Hilfiger sheets offer an “entry-level” amount of softness. Thread count is based on the number of cotton threads per square inch, so the higher the number the smoother and “silkier” the feel of the fabric.

Some of the purchasers of this product have complained that the felt stiff or scratchy but have been willing to sacrifice this for the overall good look of the product.

Available in the standard gamut of sizes, there is also the harder-to-find Twin Extra Long size. The Tommy Hilfiger Sheet Set features one or two pillow case depending on the size, a flat top sheet and a fitted bottom sheet. The fitted bottom sheet is guaranteed to fit mattresses up to 15 inches thick. If you have an overstuffed, pillow top mattress, you may want to break out a measuring tape before ordering.

All and all, this is a decent product for the price, especially if you are label-conscious or a big fan of Tommy Hilfiger.

If you have opulent tastes and are looking for top-of-the-lines sheets, high thread-count sheets, this particular Tommy Hilfiger product may give you bad dreams.

Rating One: 4.5 out of 5 Stars

Available in five different funky colors (turquoise, pink, fuchsia, lagoon and tinge green), the Brentwood Hollywood Pillowscome in three different sizes and are particularly popular in college dorm rooms or children’s bedrooms.

The regular 18 x 18 pillow reflects a typical couch or bed pillow while the bed rest pillow and 17 round pillow are oversized.

The bed rest pillow features a high back and small armrests so that owners can lean back against it while sitting up in bed, on the floor or on a couch or chair.

Featuring a loop on top, the bed rest pillow is fairly simple to carry around from room-to-room.

The 17 round pillow is circular and often used to sit on.

Each of the pillows are fluffy but feature a reversible cover with faux suede on the other side if the shaggy material is not for you.

Four out of five online reviewers gave the Brentwood Hollywood Pillows five stars and insist that the product is actually a lot more comfortable and useful than it looks.

Most people who reviewed the pillows were pleased with the fact that each different size was both functional and stylish. Many consumers were also very impressed with the price as all three pillows generally sell for less than $25.

The one negative thing consumers had to say about the pillows was that they were definitely made for smaller people, kids and teenagers and do not really offer comfort to adults.

This is particularly true of the bed rest pillow, which features a relatively low back and shorter arm rests.

However, the product is targeted at kids and teenagers, who are often more attracted to the bright colors and funky style of the product.
