This lovably abnormal thing is quite a “thing” indeed...‘Ming Thing'. It’s a monstrose (monster) form of Cereus forbesii (aka C. validus), meaning that it exhibits naturally occurring mutant growth, in the form of sculptural club-like shapes. Woolly areoles and short black spines appear on top of these myriad bizarro stems, which kind of resemble rounded, clenched fists. Ming thing is excellent for windowsill or dish garden culture. While people tend to think of cacti as sun lovers, this mutant variety is thrilled to bask in shade or filtered light. Prefers warmer temperatures during cold winter months.

Oversized
Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White
I have chronic neck pain. I am forever buying new pillows. Sometimes I think I found the perfect pillow but then three months later they’re losing their loft. I thought I would give these pillows to try since the stuffing is removable. Now these pillows are really oversized. To the point where I thought that they had sent me king-size pillows but I double checked the packaging and they were Queen. I ended up having to buy king-size pillowcases for them because they just barely fit in the queen size and the pillowcases would always end up pulling back from the edge. So that’s a negative one star there. Now I’ve been sleeping on these pillows for a while and they have held up well. I did end up removing some of the stuffing because it was just too much. I’m a side sleeper and when I use this pillow, it does a good job of keeping my neck in alignment. However, the pillow tends to migrate up as I sleep. Or I tend to slip down off the pillow, either or. So that’s why I’ve removed a second star. Maybe if I removed more stuffing that wouldn’t happen, but then I feel like the loft would be too little. I will say that these provide great support when sitting up in bed reading or watching TV. So would I buy them again? Probably not. Am I going to keep using them? Yes

Perfect headboard pillow; cooling cover is fanastic
Color: Grey-cooling, Size: With Cover
I originally got this because I was having trouble sleeping, but now I sleep on my back - so I use it more as a headboard pillow for a full size bed. It's a perfect fit! As a body pillow, it's a little short (and I myself am very short), but it's fine for me. The synthetic fill is comfortable and fluffy, and stays in place without flattening so that my knees never touch. I wish it was as cozy as Squishmallow fill, but few pillows are that nice. It is cozy enough for a good hugging pillow. The cooling cover works well and consistently feels cold to the touch. I have machine washed and machine dried the cover a few times and it still "keeps its cool". I have not really tested how long it stays cool though. I will also mention that the cooling cover I got isn't sewn correctly for it to fold over the pillow nicely, but I don't mind - it does a good enough job and stays closed.

A little luxury you will love in your bedroom!
Color: White-cooling, Size: With Cover
What a lovely feeling to rest my legs on this cool, comfortable body pillow! It is full enough to be supportive, but soft enough to be lovely against the body. Instant pain relief.

Cool, Comfortable, and Perfect for Side Sleepers!
Color: Blue-cooling, Size: With Cover
This pillow is incredibly comfortable and has made a big difference in my sleep quality. The cover is soft and stays cool throughout the night, which really helps prevent overheating. I also love how supportive it is—it keeps me in a great position when I sleep on my side, so I wake up feeling more rested and without discomfort. It’s the perfect combination of comfort and support, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a better night’s sleep.

Good entry level or decorative pillow
Color: White-velvet, Size: With Cover
Perfect entry level body pillow, or for a guest bed that isn't frequently used. The body pillow needs refluffed every day when used as intended. Long enough to also fill a gap between headboard and mattress on a full sized bed. The cover is soft,has a zipper and washed well. I was able to easily find other low cost pillow case options for it here on Amazon.
