Gaiam Restorative Yoga For Vitality Kit Review

I originally bought this for my mother as a gift. She was really excited about it so I bought one for myself, too.
Unfortunately, when we opened the boxes and unwrapped the mats they smelled horrible. They have a very, VERY strong chemical odor.
I'm sure this would be a wonderful kit, if the yoga mat were made out of something other than PVC!
Unfortunately, i can't return the one I bought for my mother...but mine is going back tomorrow!!!

Princess Slumber Pack w/ Sleeping Bag Review

Princess Slumber Pack w/ Sleeping Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this for one of my step daughters. We needed something as we were transitioning to a new house and new beds/bedrooms and the princess slumber pack was perfect. It is a little thin so we just cover her with an extra blanket. We haven't washed it yet but it is standing up to little girl wear and tear.

Slumberjack Bonnie & Clyde 30 to 40 Degree Sleeping Bag Review

Slumberjack Bonnie and Clyde 30 to 40 Degree Sleeping Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this sleeping bag being a little skeptical at first, once it arrived i set it up. I am 6'2" and weigh about 240lbs., my wife is 5'9" and weighs, well who knows they never tell but i would guess about 120lbs. We also have a 1 year old, all 3 of us fit in very cozy, also the flannel lining is the ultimate. I also had thought the pillows would be kind of shoddy, to my surprise they were not, and flannel lined even makes more comfortable than they already are. Highly recommended to all.

About Slumberjack Slumberjack has been known as the outdoor sleep expert or for more than 50 years. They have built this reputation for being the best by building the finest quality sleeping systems in the world, while addressing the needs of virtually all market segments from backpacking and trekking to family camping and hunting and fishing. With over five decades of experience in the industry, Slumberjack has taught everyone that "roughing it" doesn't have to mean being uncomfortable. That's why their selection of sleeping bags, self-inflating mats, self-inflating chairs, camp furniture, bivy shelters, and accessories offers a choice for every season and a fit for nearly every size and shape.
Amazon.com Sleeping Bag Guide Sleep Well: Finding the Right Sleeping Bag Sleeping bag technology has come a long way from the days of cowboy bedrolls. These days, there are a number of high-tech materials and designs available to keep you warm during the coldest outings. Here's a short list of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a bag:
Buy for Cold It's a safe bet that on at least one of your adventures, the nighttime temperature will drop unexpectedly. That's why it's smart to buy a bag that's rated for the lowest possible temperature you expect to face on your camping and backpacking trips. For summer trips, a bag rated at +35 degrees or higher will likely do the trick. If you like to camp in higher elevations in the summer, or if spring and fall outings are in your future, consider bags rated from +10 to +35. Winter adventurers should look for bags in the -10 to +10 range, while those on serious winter alpine climbs and expeditions will want a bag rated lower than -10.
Keep in mind that sleeping bag manufacturers' temperature ratings only estimate the minimum temperature at which the bag will provide warmth. Take these numbers with a grain of salt, as different folks generate different amounts of heat when they sleep. If you're the type who likes to pile on the covers even on warmer nights, go for a bag that's rated ten degrees colder. The opposite is true for "warm" sleepers--a 35-degree bag will probably work for you on a 25-degree night.
Goose or No Goose? The most important component of any sleeping bag is its insulating material. Modern sleeping bags offer two choices: goose down or synthetic. While both materials have advantages and disadvantages, down bags are considered superior because of their phenomenal warmth-to-weight and warmth-to-bulk ratios. While providing great insulation, down is extremely compressible and light. There's a reason why geese can fly and stay warm through the winter! Down also boasts great long-term durability and will typically retain its insulating properties after years of use.
All of that said, there are many high-quality synthetic bags on the market and synthetic materials are getting better all the time. While a synthetic bag will weigh somewhat more than a down bag at an equivalent temperature rating, synthetic bags perform better when wet. (Yes, the Achilles heel of down is that it loses all insulating properties when wet.) If your trips take you to wet climates, you may want to consider a synthetic bag for this reason alone. Keep in mind, too, that many people are allergic to down--synthetic bags are non-allergenic. Finally, down is considerably more expensive than synthetic, which might tip the balance for adventurers on a budget.
Bags for All Shapes Sleeping bags come in two basic shapes that reflect their intended use. Mummy-shaped bags offer the best warmth because they conform to the body's contours. This minimizes the amount of body heat the body must put out to maintain a constant temperature. Many mummy bags are offered in women-specific shapes and sizes, as well. Rectangular bags, while they do offer more room to toss and turn, are less thermally efficient because they contain more open air space. Also, they are typically heavier than mummy bags, and are generally not offered with down insulation, making them best suited for car camping or short backpacking trips.
Pad Yourself No matter what kind of bag you choose, a sleeping pad is a required accessory. Not only do they provide much-needed comfort when sleeping on the ground, pads also offer crucial warmth for your backside, as the weight of your body compresses--and renders virtually useless--the sleeping bag insulation that lies beneath you.

Blanket Tote (Blue) (57.75"w x 59"L) Review

Blanket Tote (Blue) (57.75w x 59L)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have several cats. A while back, it seemed like they were puking on my bed every other day. It got old fast, washing multiple loads of laundry because it would inevitably soak thru the comforter. So I purchased this, and it works like a dream. It's great not only for containing the puke mess, but also for catching hair. Since the cats sleep on the bed, a lot of fur accumulates there. It's much easier to take this blanket off and wash it than a whole huge comforter. This blanket has held up very well, especially given how often it is washed. I recommend it quite highly.

Obus Forme by Conair Ultra Forme Ergonomic Orthopedic Seat, Black Review

Obus Forme by Conair Ultra Forme Ergonomic Orthopedic Seat, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
2 stars because Amazon's price is $15 more than the non-ULTRA version and $10 more than the MSRP! Now, I love the Obus Forme Seat. But the problem is, the ULTRA and the non-ULTRA seats are THE SAME. I own them both. In fact, I wrote the Obus Forme myself about the difference and they replied: "Thank you for your inquiry regarding our two seats. There are few differences between the two seats, they are constructed from the same technology, however, the Ultra Seat is of a fabric that matches to the Ultra Forme while The Seat is offered in a variety of colors that are intended to match up with our other back rests (Lowback, Wideback etc...)
Your notation regarding a price differential is puzzling. While we cannot dictate price, ail of our products are marketed with suggested retail price. For your reference, MSRP for "The Seat: is $61.00 CDN and the "Ultra Seat" is $60.00 CDN. We trust this clarifies the similarities and differences in our two seat products."
Why is Amazon charging MORE THAN THE MSRP!!?
The fabric between the two seats-and I have them in front of me as I write-is indistinguishable. The comfort is the same. The cushioning is the same. In fact, Obus Forme says the MSRP for the ULTRA is CHEAPER!! 2 stars because you should get the non-ULTRA seat for 15.00 cheaper.
As for the seat: Its ESSENTIAL for people who live in coffee shops/ study all day/ sit at work constantly-and don't have a lotta cushion back there. Makes almost any chair better. Its profoundly good. Just be careful about letting people try it out...its hard to get it back from them!

Easy Riser Double Raised Full-Size Airbed Review

Easy Riser Double Raised Full-Size Airbed
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
DO NOT BUY THIS BAG OF HORRORS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! As one of the reviewers stated - when inflated fully, small holes begin to appear along top outer seams, then enlarge into quite substantial holes. You will hear the mattress emit popping sounds as it rapidly deflates, and unless you have nothing else to do, you will be doing nothing but patching (hopefully you are not allergic to the odor of the glue!) A week of interaction with this red monstrosity will allow you sufficient degree of mastery in the craft to become an expert air mattress mechanic. In truth the bed is not an Easy Raider but an Easy Sinker, and if all other brands are of the same quality you will soon start opening franchises all over the country. Amazon should get rid of this product and the company manufacturing it with utmost despatch.
