Question: How many muffins does this person recipe make?

These rings are just what I wanted as they help the English muffin dough to rise rather than spread out, giving them the desired thickness I was trying to achieve. The description says they are 3-3/4 inch diameter, which is correct when the outside of the ring is measured. However, the inside measurement is just slightly over 3-1/2 inches, so you'll get 3-1/2 inch muffins. The rings are sturdier than I had anticipated (based on some of the reviews saying they are flimsy). The metal is thicker than cookie cutters for sure. One star removed because the connecting joint on all of the rings is not smooth and will catch on your sponge or cloth when hand washing them. Other than that, I love 'em. My recipe makes about 14 muffins so I ordered 4 packs of these!

Question: What was the rack needed for?

This rack is thin and lightweight and to be honest, I wondered if it would hold my spices without the clips breaking or coming off the base; not a problem. Follow the directions for placing the clips, and arrange your spice containers before sticking the clips to the base. You will be pleased with the results. Keep in mind when ordering, that these racks will hold small glass spice bottles and small to medium-large plastic spice containers. The racks are great for what they're intended to do, they are not a cure-all for every "spice cabinet need", use them accordingly and you'll be happy with your purchase.

Question: What was the speed of delivery?

I'm using it in front of the kitchen sink and it works well. It is indeed easy to clean - spills wipe right off which means it should last longer than the cheap slice rugs I've been using which just can't be cleaned up. My only issues with it are that it's not particularly comfortable to stand on and the color is much more golden than pictured. I would have preferred a dark color. It's not uncomfortable but is totally flat, giving no support or relief. But overall I'm pleased. And it came very quickly. It was rolled up but laid out flat just fine.

Answer: quickly

And it came very quickly .

Question: Where do you put the eggs to poach them?

If you like your poached eggs very undercooked, this might be okay for you. However I like my poached eggs on the medium to medium-well side (with the white totally cooked, and the yolk just starting to firm up at the edges). This cooker cannot do that. You put the eggs in the poaching tray, and the top part of the egg (that is exposed to steam) cooks LONG before the bottom part (in the bottom of the tray). Impossible to get them evenly cooked. However, this turns out GREAT boiled eggs, much faster than I can make them in a pot. I was really looking forward to an easier method of poaching eggs, but looks like I'm back to my pot of water. :\

Question: What is the noise level of the filter?

The filter is amazing, looks awesome, and quiet. My main complaint is that the fan speed selector has tiny lights on it that, in a way similar to xmas "chasing" lights, appear to spin at various speeds. The problem I have with this is that there's something frustratingly addictive about playing with the fan speeds and watching the lights! Other than that, great all around!!Now, the money saving tip: There's a certain department store out there with a carbon/charcoal mesh and blue mesh trim-to-fit air filter for $10 (the store is based in Arkansas and has the word "Mart" in it). If you set that up as a "pre-filter" of sorts, you'll not only get nearly a year out of your 3M one, but you'll get rid of odors much better. I believe the $10 filter is made by WEB - I've been able to cut it in such a way as to get 3 pre-filters out of each.

Question: How long did the replacement take to arrive?

In the photos, this dresser looks great. Sleek black color, and looks to be high quality construction. I expected to get at least Ikea furniture quality, but overall, I would say Ikea furniture would be slightly better quality than this dresser. If you want solid wood construction, this probably isn't the dresser for you. While it is made of wood, I had 1 piece of wood shatter on me when I was putting a screw into a pre-drilled hole on the dresser. The wood just cracked when the screw started going into the pre-drilled slot for it.The replacement piece took about 3 weeks to get to me but thankfully, unlike other reviewers I got the correct piece the first time. Also of note, the sliders are all made of plastic. I am unsure how this will affect the durability and life-span of this drawer, but I would've preferred metal sliders for the price. Putting the dresser together can be confusing because some parts of the instructions aren't clear. Aside from that, the biggest annoyance, when you pull out the dresser, you lose about 1/3 of the space because that part of the dresser does not pull out and stays inside due to the design of the sliders. This bothers me to no end as finding clothing I stuffed into the back of the drawer is difficult. I have noticed some higher priced dressers at Ikea do not suffer from this problem.Overall, you get a sleek black dresser that takes about 40 minutes for the layman to put together. Outside the major annoyance with how much space won't be visible this dresser is a decent value.

Question: How much was the coupon the customer recieved?

I ordered this egg keeper, and love it! However a few days after the order I received a notice stating it would be delayed. Ok I can understand back orders, I accepted the back order, instead of trying to find it somewhere else.Eventually I did receive my product in fine condition, (It's a rubbermaid continer, pretty hard to damage). I also received a coupon in the box stating that I could get $5.00 off my next purchase. The coupon was valid "now through July 31 2005. Unfortunately I received my order in the middle of August. I called and left a message asking if I could get another coupon, no one returned my call. I called again and left a message no one returned my call. I called a third time and they told me that they did not reprint the coupons after they expired I could use the expired one. I tried and the website did not accept it.A little frustrated by the run around, I opted not to call back a fourth time to ask why the expired coupon was not accepted. If you can find this container some where else it's great, go for it!

Question: What kind of set of pillowcases and sheets was purchased?

I got these for the matching sheet set - these cases, like the sheets, are really soft and for the price, are great! I highly recommend these pillowcases, as well as the same-brand sheets. I know buying online is a bit apprehensive, given that you can't FEEL the fabric to see how soft it is - but trust me - this is a really good sheet / pillowcase maker and I love this set!

Question: What did they replace with this new product?

I got this coffee maker to replace my old Melitta Take-2 and never much cared for the weak, lukewarm K-cup coffee makers. The Kitchenaid makes an 18 ounce mug of very hot coffee. The thermal mug doesn't seem very well insulated on the bottom as the metal part gets pretty hot. The tilt out and removable filter compartment has a re-usable basket but also looks like it might have been designed to use a disposable #2 paper cone filter but they don't fit. The feet on this appliance are very sticky which I suppose is a good thing for most people but I need to slide it in and out from under a cupboard so it is a bit of a bother to me. Also, the feet have stained my laminate counter top. The price here shows a retail value of $99 but the Kitchenaid retails at major department stores in the mall for $79.

Question: What is incorrect

Oh I like this one a lot for my small bathroom. Short on counter space? This is the solution. The description is wrong in that it states it is 600/1200 watts. It's actually 800/1200 watts but that's okay. The 800 watt setting nicely warms my bathroom if I turn it on about 1/2 hour before I go in there. It wouldn't do much good in a large room though. Relatively quiet too so it would fit nicely under a desk as well, at home or at work.Switching to 1200 watts does not increase the fan speed.Nice for the price. Nice for small spaces.

Question: Where might one hang the bag?

The storage bag I got is different from the picture. It's a mesh see-through material, where in the picture it doesn't look like it would be see-through. It still does what it's supposed to, so no complaints. I love the velcro loop at the top that I can use to hang it on the bar under the shelf in my closet.

Question: What was made to try out the skillet and see if food would sick to it?

This thing is great! I've only had it a couple weeks so I can't attest to its longevity, although all the other Presto products I have keep doing what they're supposed to without any breakdowns so I'd guess this one's no exception.Since I got this in the mail, I've made all sorts of stuff - fish/oyster courtboullion, pancakes, hoecakes, a seared steak (Yum!), even a cake! There's so much you can do with it. Another advantage is that it's allot more energy efficient than using a range top. All the energy is directed to one purpose, and not heating up your kitchen instead.And NOTHING sticks to the surface! The test of this was to cook coarse-ground yellow grits in it. They have a fairly high sugar content and will stick to virtually anything while cooking over an hour, creating a several hour soak to clean. Groats do this also. Anyway this skillet did the job. I just flipped the skillet over and out came the grits! I didn't even have to pry them out! I'm very pleased with this skillet, and it's the perfect size for a couple people. Great stuff!

Question: How will this person use the cast iron?

I just received my 7qt Lodge cast iron dutch oven this morning, and it is big and beautiful. I haven't cooked anything in it yet, but I can't wait to try it out. It is heavier than I thought so once I put in a roast, potatoes, carrots, etc. I'm sure I'll need a crane to left it...LOL. I ordered this based on the reviews, and once again the reviews have not let me down. I live alone, so that's why I ordered the 7qt so I can make large quantities of everything, and I know my brother and sister-in-law will want to borrow it. The quality is excellent; you can tell that just by looking at it. I plan on using this also as a slow cooker, and I hear your meals are done in half the time. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in cooking with cast iron.

Question: Where did I order the fiesta set?

This fiesta set in Shamrock green is a nice addition to your fiesta dishes. However, I suggest purchasing it elsewhere. Amazon does not know how to package ceramic items for shipping. This set was placed in a packing sleeve as one unit, just as you see it in the photo. There was lots of space around the items, and therefore they were hitting each other during transit. This caused breakage and scratching. When I picked up the box from my porch I could hear clinking. I knew that was not good. I contacted Amazon and they were very good to work with and shipped me another set. Guess what? It was packaged just like the previous set and it also arrived in pieces. At this point I decided not to reorder from Amazon a third time, but rather try another store to order from. The product is great, but the shipping is not.

At this point I decided not to reorder from Amazon a third time, but rather try another store to order from. The product is great, but the shipping is not.

This fiesta set in Shamrock green is a nice addition to your fiesta dishes. However, I suggest purchasing it elsewhere. <hl> Amazon <hl> does not know how to package ceramic items for shipping. This set was placed in a packing sleeve as one unit, just as you see it in the photo. There was lots of space around the items, and therefore they were hitting each other during transit.

Question: What words were used to describe the durability?

These bags are very roomy and have a place inside on each side to slide a bottle or jar into. Half gallon of milk fits great.Everytime I use them the cashier and baggers comment on how nice they are.They keep everything nice and cold on the drive home. (My drive is about 45 minutes).They also hold way more than the store bags and are VERY sturdy. Nice and thick.The zippers are just a little bit.......not really hard to close, but you do have to take a second or two to get them to slide around.I'm going to get my daughter-in-law some so she doesn't have to keep borrowing mine.

Question: What has the user found in the few weeks of daily use?

I'm amazed by how very much I like this oven. I've had it for a few weeks with daily use and have yet to find any of its functions lacking. Toast is better than from any previous toaster-evenly brown, crisp and rapid. In fact, the reason I was looking was because my toaster died and needed to be replaced. Why not see what more I could get for a little bit more money? I baked a peach crisp last night. It was perfect-golden brown on top and cooked perfectly. Tonight I warmed up todays lunch pizza--again perfect with the crust even more crispy than originally from the regular oven. Since purchasing it I've checked over other similar ovens in the stores and am increasingly glad that I purchased this. Incidentally, I paid $79.99 and see it has gone up significantly in price at Amazon in just these few weeks. Glad I bought it when I did!

Question: What benefit does product have?

I purchased one of these about 2 years ago from a housewares store, (I thought Bed,Bath, & Beyond). Anyway, I use mine to keep powdered sugar in. Since I bake a lot, it has come in handy quite a bit. It's so convenient to store with the airtight cap. About a year ago I started looking for another one for cocoa powder and had been unable to find it, until now on Amazon! I'm so happy!UPDATE 8/23/09 - I'm reducing my 4 stars to 2! I had submitted the previous review before receiving the item. This particular one is much bigger than the one I already have. Mine must be about 4 oz. Anyway, the size is not the major disappointment, the shaker lid does not fit snug. I have horrible visions of this top flying off and wasting my cocoa powder all over the place. Also, with the lid not fitting snug, it would not keep the powder fresh while it was stored in it. Sorry if my previous review persuaded someone to purchase this item. I no longer comment on any items until I actually receive them.

Question: What do you need to use on some materials?

I still need a good iron for those last minute wrinkles in formal wear or for a fabric project.This t-fal seems to be sturdy with all the features I want as for adjusting the heat and steam and with the added protection of the nonstick bottom which lets the iron even at its hottest just glide over the fabric (you do need to use only low heat on many synthetics though).It is a good iron for the fabric worker and homemaker and others using materials/fabric, such as cotton, rayon, some silks on low etc. that may sometimes need some heat and pressure.

Question: How many times has this product been washed?

I bought this Malouf Bed Sheet Set, with some doubts,as I have never bought this kind of product on line before, but this turned out great. I saw the price and I could not resist.On top of that my husband wanted black sheets.The sheets have been washed a couple of times, they are really wrinkle resistant, and soft, very soft , something we really enjoy.We bought them in black,thinking that being black, a pretty difficult colour, they would get soon worn out but to our suprise the colour is still nice, like the first day.So we are very happy and the price was really good.Definitely I will be on the look out for more bed sets from this company.

Question: When was a replacement sent?

Amazon customer service was excellent, as I had to return the first Braun due to excessive beater wobble and a funky motor, but a replacement was sent immediately. Unfortunately the new Braun wasn't too much better....the beaters still have considerable wobble and the motor still sounds like a very small model airplane. I have to say that Braun seems to be just one more company that is suffering from a bad case of quality slippage. However, the mixer works and no bits and pieces have gone flying off across the kitchen, so things could be worse. Will I buy Braun again...no.

Question: What did the customer complain about the look of the kettle in their house?

The kettle is very nice, well designed & heats the water quickly. However, I'm returning it because of the cord. It's very heavy utilitarian black (3/8" diameter) and there's no way to conceal it in the base. It really detracts from the sleek look of the kettle, and there's no spot in my kitchen where it doesn't look bad. Maybe it makes it safer electrically, but I don't have any other small appliances with so heavy a cord. I'm probably being overly fussy, but I just think the cord will always bother me, so I'm packing it up to return.

Question: how many times a day do they use a pan?

The good thing is they are cheap for 2. The bad thing is the coating wears off. I have the 12 inch in storage... too large to use daily. But the 10 inch coating has worn off and is chipping off. I need to throw this away... dangerous to injest this coating. My husband is not wanting me to toss the pan at the end of it's lifespann but I know it is not safe to eat from this now that it is chipping and peeling. What else works other than stainless steel? I want a durable pan that LASTS. I will use it 1-3 times a day. I like the idea of nonstick. Might have to go back to stainless steel.

Question: Did the steamer save time?

I hate ironing and experimented between this steam press and theDeLonghi steam generatorto find an iron that might actually make it easier, faster, or less tedious. Alas, I have not yet hit the lottery. While the steam press did leave my husband's shirts incredibly crisp and looking almost like they were done by the dry cleaner's (there was also a slight crease on one side of the collar, created when I rotated one pressed side of the shirt so that I could press the other side), it did not save me enough time to be worth the effort. It took so much time to perfectly arrange the shirts on the board and spray down any deep creases with a spritzing bottle (not to even mention the fact that I would burn my knuckles putting my hand in there to re-arrange the shirt), it ended up taking only slightly less time to iron the same number of dress shirts as if I were using a regular iron. It was pretty cool though, that the ironing part was a simple push of the press, a count to 3, and voila! Ironed clothes! This thing is also a dream for ironing linen napkins, tablecloths, and flat sheets.If you're a perfectionist about your dress shirts, but don't have the time, money or desire to take things to the dry cleaners, this might be the product for you. But if you need to press large amounts of items, if you need to iron a variety of different types of garments (i.e. women's clothing or items with intricate designs), then you might be better off getting a steam generator.If you found this review helpful, please let me know!

Question: With the older fans, about how many nights' use do you get on battery power?

I am in desperate need of long lasting battery operated fans. Have two of the older 02 cool rechargeable fans in which the rechargeable batteries stopped working after 3 months (apparently overcharged!) but at least with the 8 D batteries, you get nearly 5 days all night (when the power goes out). This one never worked on batteries, only AC. I did not buy it over Amazon but at BB&B;, but the exact same model.I didn't even try rechargeable D's because you never get enough uumph from them, but two different brand names (both considered the best) and brand new. Not even a peep. Returned once, same thing with the second. I didn't have the energy to return again. Obviously from the other reviews, others had good luck with this fan, but for me, I need to feel more confident that a product works. Somewhere there has to be a better fan that doesn't take 8 D batteries.On the other hand, I have not had good luck with any battery operated fan other than the rechargeable one, despite the loss of the rechargeable batteries after only a few months. I still use them at least.Amazon--please try to find a really good one that will work reliably that doesn't take so many darn heavy batteries.

Question: Where is the pour hole located?

I ordered these to complement16 Piece Pure White Ribbed Porcelain Dinnerware Set, I intended to use these a tea mugs. I liked the uniqueness of them but, when they arrived I realized that the handle is not well-balanced. The handle will accommodate a large hand but, the curve makes it awkward. The starburst pattern on the bottom was a surprise - thought I should mention it. The dishes held up in the dishwasher, no chips or porcelain impurities noticed. The pour hole for the porcelain is located under the top portion of the handle, it is too visible - my eye was immediately drawn toward it.

Question: What size was the travel cup?

I was so excited to upgrade from the KCup system to the Vue, but that's where it ends. I knew going into it that my coffee choices would be limited and more expensive, but was not prepared for my 14 ounce travel cup to not even come close to fitting under the dispenser. It worked fine in my KCup Platinum. I'm shocked being as this brewer offers up to an 18 ounce travel mug brew selection. It is much shorter than the previous KCup area, even with the drip pan totally removed. So now I have to brew into a separate cup and pour into mine, more trouble and more to wash. Kuerig, you really dropped the ball on this one. Also, you can't have a default setting for brewing with one touch, you must pick size, etc. every time. Very let down.

Question: How long should the shower curtain last?

This is a nice, heavy (yet pliant) vinyl shower curtain that should last a few years with a little care. We live in a double-wide mobile home, so we have a small tub enclosure, and the 72" length fits perfectly. I'm glad I ordered the frosty clear color, as it lets the light shine through without being transparent. It is heavy enough that it hangs well and doesn't fly into the tub while you're showering. When I first put up the the shower curtain there was a strong vinyl odor for two or three days, so if the odor concerns you, I recommend airing the curtain outside for a day or two before bringing it inside. I like this shower curtain and will buy another when it's time to replace this one.

This is a nice, heavy (yet pliant) vinyl shower curtain that should last <hl> a few years <hl> with a little care. We live in a double-wide mobile home, so we have a small tub enclosure, and the 72" length fits perfectly. I'm glad I ordered the frosty clear color, as it lets the light shine through without being transparent. It is heavy enough that it hangs well and doesn't fly into the tub while you're showering.

Question: What does the product handle well?

These are a happy addition to my kitchen. I like the bright colors. They handle the dishwasher just fine. The handles are sturdy enough not to bend when measuring brown sugar or other "heavy" ingredients. I recommend them.

Question: what makes the scraper easy to use?

I've been very happy with this scrapper.It's worth knowing that unlike many scrapers this one relies on being sharp instead of being thin and flexible to scrape. I'm not sure if I find this to be an advantage or a disadvantage. It makes it a more multi-functional product for sure; however, I think it might slightly compromise the dough-scrapping-from-counter flagship role. I'm certainly not going to try and find a different scraper, just thought the difference was worth mentioning.The markings on the blade are very helpful and the nice thick handle makes it easy to use.

Question: What sweet powder does the author store in this product?

These containers are a great deal. Love the whole set. Some people have complained that some of the containers are too small to be useful, but I LOVE all the different sizes. There are enough larger ones for my family of 5 and I use the tiny ones all the time for storing things like cinnamon-sugar, peanut butter for lunches, leftover toppings for meals like Hawaiian haystacks, etc etc. I find them all very useful and very convenient.

Question: What did the author bu the stands to hold?

I bought these stands to hold my rear surround speakers and keep them at ear level. I am satisfied with the stands and how they function but one of the stands cannot be threaded into the base. As a result, the stand is unstable. Fortunately, the stand sits in a corner and I can place it up against the wall so there is no issue with it tipping over or anything. This is probably not a common problem and I suppose I received a defective item.The bottom line is I am happy with these speaker stands for the price and the quality despite the fact that one does not function properly. Comes with a couple different types of screws to use that can directly connect the speakers to the stand. Also comes with double sided tape to secure the speakers as well. 3 Stars because one stand is defective, but I still recommend these because they look great and function well for the price.

Question: Can it be used in a narrow space?

I was expecting high about this heater.But I did not like few things about this unit. The light is too bright. If we put it at front side of visibility, it distract reading. The cord comes with certain length (~4 feet I think), which made it difficult to place it somewhere where it can give heat from behind. Size is little bigger, so you cannot just place it anywhere. This heats up the object where the light fells, so better not to use in narrow space (potential fire hazard). Also I wanted to use it to warm up my toes, but it was not possible to change the angle down to floor ( probably safety issue for carpet).Might be good if you do mind the light or want to use it ourdoor.

Question: What is the amount that this person thinks you should pay for this item?

If you simply want to go back to the '50s this tray is what you want. After reading the instructions that say to let the tray stand 2 min and not fill past 3/4, the tray probably works well. However, by the third filling ice started sticking. I'm used to the plastic trays where the ice drops out easily. After a month the ice stuck so bad (right out of the refrigerator) that I had to run it under water. The tray (I have 3 of them) is an ordinary old fashioned tray of my childhood. The tray is strong but stacking isn't as easy as I would like.. they set atop a narrow ridge in the center of the tray which leaves them teetering. Also, the beautiful blue rubber holders fall off after a few uses. Unless you're prepared to glue them back you might as well throw them away.If this tray cost $6 or $8 I would be happy, but not at $27.50, this is for collectors only.

Question: why is it good to keep in the kitchen?

Is quick and efficient. We keep it in our kitchen. Yes, it's loud, but it neither bother me NOR my boyfriend at all. As you've probably read, you can set what you want the humidity to be at and it will run until it reaches that point. No, the machine doesn't turn off when it gets to your ideal level, but it WILL kick back in if the humidity rises again. For the price and what it offers, I think it's a great deal. I don't have tons of money to spend, but this has proven to be a great investment. The tub has a nice handle to help with the watering emptying process. As mentioned, we keep it in the kitchen, so the sink is right there. So, that's how we use it. Great purchase.

Question: How did the reviewer find recipes?

I love sushi, I will go even further and say that any food that you can turn into tube form is my cup of tea.I do , however, not carry the skills (yet) to wrap my own sushi in a tight, perfect manner. My attempts in the past have met with various degrees of results. Rice everywhere, halfway unrolled rolls spilling out innards like a cornucopia, rolls that were seemingly stable and then cut unraveling in unappealing ways.It is so much cheaper to make your own sushi at home, but because I have not yet perfected my technique. This device makes my lack of practice a non issue!The Leifheit Perfect Roll maker is a cheat, and perhaps goes against my usual attitude of "try and try again" but for sushi-sake I need it!The one I chose is the black one, small and with several pieces. I grabbed the instruction booklet and realized it was all in German, which is fine by me because it has PICTURES!!!!IF you cannot follow pictures, simple directions, then you dont deserve good sushi anyway. I had no problem figuring out how to use this simple kitchen device. The recipes are also in German, but cmon you can Google any recipe in seconds and it will do just fine. It doesnt make long sushi rolls, instead it makes short squatty ones. It is easy to set up and clean and put away.I still wish to learn the art of rolling sushi, but until then I will follow the Germans and Leifheit my way to yummy.

Question: What is the best part?

We have had this for about 6 months. Makes fantastic crispy pizza. The clean up is the best part with this. It's one piece and everything washes off easily (event the super melted cheese). When you cut pizza on it using a pizza cutter it doesn't hurt the finish at all. We love this thing.We got an All-Clad about the same time (generous present) and like it as well. The Emile Henry wins, however, because (a) easier clean up (b) light weight and (c) no scratches when you use a pizza slicer. On the all-clad you leave a mark on the soapstone every time you cut.If we ever get another stone it will be this one. Great product!

Question: How long should the bags last?

Owning a vacuum is like owning a printer -- it's not just the initial cost, it's also the ongoing "surcharge" for use. This Panasonic vacuum (which is excellent, by the way) came with two vacuum bags, but I thought from the quality materials and construction of the bags that it wasn't going to be cheap to keep the house vacuumed. I was pleasantly surprised at how long the bags lasted. Even though they aren't terribly big, they are very sturdy and expand to hold a great deal more dust and dirt that expected. Unlike most canister bags, they aren't made of paper, it is sort of a thick stretchy material. They are very easy to change and don't "leak" dirt and dust all over when you take them out of the canister. At $9.99 a four pack here at Amazon, they are a bargain and should last several months, at least, in the average house.

Question: What was the product the customer purchased?

This is just your basic, cheap, hecho in China colander. I would have given it a score of three, but felt that the presence of little metal slivers on the handle weld spots deserved a lower score! I removed the slivers with a pair of needle nose pliers, and they came off easily enough. Also, there is a label attached to the bottom with a glue that doesn't come off with normal washing. In fact, I haven't been able to remove the glue residue and suspect that it's going to be there a long, long time.

Question: what kind of sleepers are these pillows not good for according to the writer?

These are absolutely terrible pillows for side sleepers, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone (unless they're looking for a very flat pillow with very little shape retention and virtually no support). Within the first week of using them, I dragged my old pillow out of the garage because it was preferable. My husband continued to use his for a week or two more, despite the fact that he complained about how flat and uncomfortable it was on a nightly basis.If those problems weren't bad enough, it's almost as if your head slides around when you're trying to sleep on one. I know that doesn't seem to make much sense, but if you put some pillow stuffing in a plastic bag & then covered that bag with a pillowcase, it'd have roughly the same effect (without the noise, of course).All in all, these pillows were a total waste of money, and I couldn't have been more disappointed with the purchase. Both eventually ended up in the trash because they weren't fluffy enough to put in shams or nice enough to use for guests.
