Ostrich Pillow Thingy For Napping At Work

If there's one thing that feels good it's sleeping on the man's dime and not getting fired for it. And while some lock their office doors and play audio of themselves on the phone or opt to sleep in the trunk of their car, I'm more of a traditionalist: passed out on the handicapped commode in the bathroom with my head between my legs. Nobody ever gives me a hard time because nobody ever wants to hear about my bowel trouble. I mean, I'll tell you, but not if you want to eat today or tomorrow or the next day. Enter the Ostrich, a pillow thingy designed to mimic the ostrich's 'head in the sand' style of catching bees. "You mean Z's?" No Sherlock, I'm pretty sure they eat bees.

OSTRICH offers a micro environment in which to take a warm and comfortable power nap at ease. It is neither a pillow nor a cushion, nor a bed, nor a garment, but a bit of each at the same time. Its soothing cave-like interior shelters and isolates our head and hands (mind, senses and body) for a few minutes, without needing to leave our desk.
Plus it makes it really uncomfortable to breathe, so you'll probably wake up thinking you were buried alive. And speaking of being buried alive: once in my misguided youth, I actually buried a worm alive. "Yeaaaaaaah, it probably lived." No, you don't understand -- it was at sea. And that was after I'd impaled him on a hook but right before a a fish ate him OH THE HUMANITY.

General Care & Cleaning Tips for Upholstery

After purchasing a piece of upholstered furniture, it is important to know proper cleaning methods to ensure your item maintains its new appearance for years to come. By following a few simple cleaning tips, you can obtain the maximum amount of use out of your couch, chair or ottoman.
• When cleaning your upholstery, use a cleaner that also deodorizes, is safe for your fabric and does not contain any harsh chemicals. Also, be sure to lightly brush or vacuum your furniture prior to cleaning. This will prevent dirt from entering the fabric while you clean.
• Apply cleanser to stains using a strong brush. When cleaning, do not rub or scrub the fabric too harshly.
• Use a damp sponge or cloth to remove the remaining cleanser after a minute or two.
• After cleansing, be sure your fabric dries thoroughly. To dry your furniture more quickly, leave a window open or run a fan nearby.
• Consider using a cover to protect your furniture if you have animals or small children. This will help you avoid stains.
• Once a week, remove dirt from the fabric by lightly brushing or vacuuming your upholstered piece. This will prevent dirt from entering the fabric and assist in preserving its appearance.
• Turn or reverse the cushions on your furniture often so they wear evenly. This will also allow you to notice stains sooner. If you do observe a stain, remember to clean upholstered furniture with the weakest solution possible.

While cleaning upholstered fabrics may not always be simple, putting time into caring for your furniture will ultimately be a rewarding task. After all, upholstered fabrics that have been properly cared for can retain their appearance for several years.

How to measure and custom throw pillow

If you are looking to replace a throw pillow or buy a new pillow with similar dimensions, follow these steps:

First, start by measuring the pillow on the fabric cut length and not on the side of the cushion.
. It will be difficult to get a clear measurement on the side of your pillow after it has already been filled, so by measuring on the fabric cut length you can get a more accurate measurement of the size of your pillow. Make sure to measure your current throw pillow in half-inch increments.
. Example: A pillow that measures 19 7 / 8 inches should be rounded up to 20 inches or rounded down to 19 1 / 2 inches. .

Next, you have a choice of what type of filling you'll want: Poly bun or Poly fiber
Poly fiber is loose fill that is blown into the pillow.
. The pillow is then sewn shut.

Poly bun uses a pre-stuffed inner pillow which is encased in a polyester unit.
. This type of pillow comes with a hidden zipper and has the option of being able to remove the inner pillow so you can easily clean the outer fabric shell.
If you decide to enhance the look of your pillow, we offer assorted cotton, polyester and acrylic tassels, braids and fringes. Both the fringe and braided edges are attached to the pillows over the seams, along the edge of the pillow.

Since all throw pillows are custom made, you can order any size and any fabric. We have a strong selection of fabrics to choose from including high end outdoor fabrics that are beautiful enough to use indoors.
. We even accept customer owned material if you don't find exactly what you want.

How to Choose a Good Pillow

How to Choose a Good Pillow
Waking up with an aching neck and stiff muscles is never a pleasant experience. Choosing a good pillow can help you achieve a quality night of comfortable slumber. With so many pillow types and choices on the market, it may seem like an overwhelming task to find the one that works for you. By following a few tips, you can find a proper pillow for your sleeping style.

Instructions
1
Evaluate your sleeping position. This should be the prime factor in choosing a good pillow for you. Take note of whether you usually sleep on your side, stomach or back. Back sleepers should opt for thin pillows that cradle the neck, providing support. Side sleepers should choose firm pillows that give support for the area between the ear and shoulder. Stomach sleepers should opt for flat pillows, so your neck isn't turned at an uncomfortable angle.
2
Select your preferred filler material. Foam pillows come in different densities, from firm to soft. Memory foam molds to your body, reducing pressure points. Latex provides an option for those who want a mold- and mite-resistant material. Down pillows allow you to move the stuffing to provide support as needed.
3
Prepare to spend more money. Choosing the cheapest pillow on the market usually means lower quality and inferior filling, which may break apart quickly in comparison to one of higher quality.
4
Read user reviews of the specific pillow type you're considering on unbiased consumer websites. If the pillow has consistently high reviews, chances are it's a good product.
5
Visit stores that sell pillows and test them. By doing this, you'll have access to a range of pillow options. Spend time lying on an in-store bed in your preferred sleep position with the pillow. Test at least three or four different pillows and base your selection on personal comfort level.

1
Read labels to determine what a pillow is made of. Pillow fills can be polyester, foam, goose down or a combination of feathers and down. Down is usually more expensive. It's very soft and is easy to shape or mold to your head and body. Polyester, which is less expensive, is comfortable too, depending on the quality, but it won't fluff up the way down does.
2
Check the amount of fill in the pillow (how full it is). The more fill, the firmer the pillow.
3
Select a soft pillow if you sleep on your stomach or frequently move around. This will prevent you from straining your neck.
4
Buy a medium pillow for good support if you sleep on your back.
5
Try a firm pillow for maximum support if you sleep on your side.
6
Choose a cover fabric that's soft and breathable.
7
Make sure the pillow's seams are tightly sewn to prevent fill leakage.
8
Look for labels that say "hypo-allergenic" if you have allergies to certain types of pillow fill. Most manufacturers make "allergy-free" pillows now.
9
Purchase a pillow cover with a zipper if you suffer from allergies. It goes under your pillowcase and helps protect you from dust mites.
