There are countless books about keeping and riding horses. The Horse is different: it looks not only at the natural history of the horse in the context of its use by humans, but also at its own, independent story, describing the way horses live, think, and behave both alongside people and on their own. Beautifully designed and illustrated, The Horse provides an engaging and accessible introduction to these beloved animals. Beginning with evolution and development, The Horse tells how horses came into being more than fifty million years ago and were first domesticated more than five thousand years ago, eventually spreading across the globe. Chapters on Anatomy & Biology and Society & Behavior explain equine anatomy and how it has affected the lives and social structure of horses, and outline current scientific thinking on their behavior as individual and herd animals, including information on communication between horses. A chapter on Horses & People provides a thorough overview of the horse's many important roles in human history and today, from pack animal to sporting champion. Finally, the book ends with an engrossing and visually stunning photographic gallery of some fifty popular breeds of horses and ponies with essential information about each. Filled with surprising facts and insights, this book will delight anyone who loves horses and wants to understand them better.- Provides a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to the evolution, development, domestication, and behavior of the horse--from life cycle, breeding, coats and colors, and the senses to courtship, parenting, communication, emotions, and learning

Great Pillows, But Made for Taller People
Clearly these pillows are high end, very well-made pillows that will last for, dare I say, decades, and they are supportive for the neck and spine... for some people. I got the set of two, one for myself and one for my husband. I am 5'4", about 165lbs, and he is 6'2" about 240lbs. So there is a big difference in size between us.
The pillows arrived in a very small but high quality box, each rolled separately, and I thought for sure that they would take a while to roll out, fluff up, and unwrinkle, the way our bed and other pillows did. But that wasn't the case at all. These pillows immediately fluffed up and were usable with not a single wrinkle (see photos). The silk gray cases that come with them were also in no way wrinkled and fit like a glove. They were a little difficult to situate for me (the cases) because they must go on a certain way (my husband wants me to tell y'all that he got it right the first time). It took me three tries. But once they were on, they looked beautiful and the pillows felt very soft with them on.
Now, that said, it was clear the moment I laid on it that it's made for someone taller, or rather, with a longer neck. When I lay on it, my head does not land on the center of the pillow where the bump is, where it's supposed to cradle my neck. My head instead lays directly on that bump, cocked up with my neck kinked. That's also because *I* am a side sleeper. Now if I lay on my back, my head lays a little more in the center. That is the only way this pillow slightly works for me. If you read the "instructions," it explains that there is a section for your head when you're laying on your back (the center dip) and a section for when you're on your side (the edges). Either way is too high for me. My neck isn't long enough. In order to get it into the correct position, I have to stretch it unnaturally. When I lay naturally, my neck is bent and kinked and hurts more in the morning than ever before.
The feel of it, putting aside its side and dimensions, is very soft to the touch but also quite firm at the same time. It's not the kind of memory foam that takes a while to bounce back. It's bounces back immediately. It's very springy.
The only way I can use this pillow is if I spin in around to keep the cervical support bump at the top and just lay over the flat portion, making it more like a regular pillow. It's still too high and stiff for me, but it's better.
Now for my husband (6'2"), this pillow works great! He's a back sleeper and it really supports his neck. And he does sometimes lay on his side, and apparently it's supports his neck then too. His neck is long enough to reach that edge section for side sleepers and the center supportive dip for back sleepers. He loves it! He says, his neck feels great in the morning and it's his new favorite pillow.
When I got this pillow set, it was listed at $340, and he said that it was not worth that price. But it is now listed at $169, and he's saying that is a much more reasonable price. I personally wouldn't pay that, but that's because the pillow doesn't work for me. I stand by my statement that these pillows are for taller people (or people with longer necks). But for him, he would pay it. I wish it worked for me. I'm a bit jealous, to tell you the truth.

Finally, a pair of pillows that look good on the bed and feel good on the neck.
As much as I like the comfort and support of a cervical neck pillow, they usually have a strange ufo-type look and are usually quite small. It's fine for use, but they are not a great look on the bed. I wanted something more welcoming and full-looking with the support of a c-pillow. This set actually met my hopes and needs.
I love how the pillow has two strengths - firmer on one side, softer on the other. That makes it easy to find the best fit for your own neck shape and support needs. The pillows are large enough that side-by-side on a queen sized bed they look welcoming and like they could probably even have matching cases put on them instead of requiring specialty industrial-looking pillow cases like many do.
Having proper neck support has reduced headaches and neck tension and allows for better sleep!

Perfect if you're in the right position, not so perfect otherwise
I've been using this for about a week and I like it, but with some caveats. It is shaped so you can only sleep in 2 positions and you can't really move in bed. As long as you are in the correct position, it is really comfortable and provides the best support you can ask for. The problem is if you move around in bed, it turns into a hinderance. With normal pillows, they more or less move with you and are comfortable as you move. This is very specifically great in a single position, but terrible in any other position. If you are able to keep still, this is the perfect pillow for you. If you are like me and roll around too much, its more of a problem for sleeping than a help. I am going to move it over to my couch for napping with, and I think it'll work out far better since the couch isn't really big enough to roll around.

Great quality
Size: Twin, Color: White
This mattress pad is just thick enough without being overly bulky which tends to bunch up after washing. It is super soft and fits twin bed perfectly with just enough padding to add comfort. For a waterproof cover this one is superior to others I've had.

I’m buying more!
Size: Twin, Color: White
The quality of this product is amazing! It looks fantastic, super fluffy and comfortable, keeps accidents from getting onto mattress. It works so well! And is so worth the cost, I’m buying more for the rest of the beds in our house.
