The Kitchen Table

I saw a $1,300.00 pillow yesterday!

10 years ago

In Canadian dollars. But it was on sale for $794.00. It was at a Zellers store (which is where the Hudson Bay department store sells products that have sat for awhile). It caught my attention and I had to pet it and then checked out the price. Wow. I wouldn't even pay $40.00 for a nice decorative pillow. I did guess right when I thought it was coyote fur upon touching it. I'm not into fur though. Here is a picture of it.

Did you see the coyote fur throw for $3,600? It says it comes from ethically sourced Canadian coyote fur. What the heck does that mean? Yuck! Kind of creeps me out.

There are fabrics that cost that much and more per yard. I can't imagine anyone paying it even if they had money to burn. It will also cost a fortune to have anyone willing to risk working with it.

Disappointed in Stanley Furniture coming damaged to me yesterday
Q

Lesallimc, I am so happy for you that you are happy with the final look and the furniture headache fiasco with Stanley Furniture and with D&D Delivery is behind you now. It is a good thing you contacted the BBB or I have a feeling this would have been not resolved and caused you more stress for more months to come. Thanks for sharing. We would love pics if you have time. I am going to try to find time to post the pics I took of my Durham Furniture when it first arrived despite my bed not being made up with the fancy pillows. Since the car accident, I have had so many doctor appointments since I am still in pain that everything else other than trying to get some work done seems so stressful. It used to be easy to post pics when Yahoo Photos was in business. Now I have to learn what to do all over again. I think I will try that new place I posted the Stanley Furniture pictures.

Natura Latex Pillow

Tib, Natura should give you a freebie for sure. I am so grateful that you recommended it. Between my linen sheets, my Tempur mattress and my new pillow I sleep like a baby. I dread the thought of having to sleep anywhere but here. Cyn, so glad you ordered the Natura pillows. They are the most comfortable ever. After I bought mine I bought one for DH but he likes to smash and wad his pillow into a ball so I kept his. Using two of the pillows to read in bed is heaven. I hear you about the Kinzig lamp. I love mine and it looks great with the chairs but it isn't particularly good to read by as both bulbs are 60 watt max. MsRose, that pillow gets excellent reviews,but wow, 24 bucks for shipping? I think you would be extremely pleased with it but I think a Natura would be as good. Olliesmom, you got the deal of the century! I am going to go to the site and see what's up with it, maybe I will get a deal too.

Choosing pillows and comforters
Q
Comments (6)
I just had this same conversation with a friend of mine. Good pillows that hold their shape and stay comfortable are really hard to find. This week I bought a pair of Charisma at Costco for my DH side of the bed. Not sure if it's the same quality as Charisma from Bloomingdales (probably not) but I know they are returnable, if they get out of shape. I figured what the heck. I have the Vail Down Pillows for my side of the bed. They were around $100 each. I bought the firmest style in hopes they would not flatten and would stay puffy. I have had them now for 5 years. They have been washed and dried many times and have held up great. They do take forever to dry. I've been thinking of replacing them because I am tired of them flattening out. This thread is right on time.

Pillow talk! Love the new fabric
Q
Comments (30)
Okay, now I know a bit too much about this fabric. That bed is Citrus Garden in Pool; the cake is Citrus Garden in Primary; "my" fabric is Citrus Garden in Lime. AFAI can tell, Lime has the splash of pink, Primary a splash of red, and Pool has no splashes, ironically. : ) PS the shirts arrived today. I really like the v neck striped one; but I may try a smaller size and get a second one in pink, too. Torn on the chinoiserie one. I wish it were not so see-thru. The pattern needs a pure white foil IMHO. But so pretty!

Hmmmm... I'm having a conundrum. I don't understand the reasoning of why that store would think it was a good idea to sell that pillow.

And it was weird it was in a discount store....for everyone to touch, drop on the floor, etc. It is still on the shelf just shy of $800.00.

Oh.....you still have Zellers? I thought they all closed up.

It isn't a real Zellers. It is a catch all for Hudson's Bay and maybe Home Outfitters. The outside sign says Zellers.

Last year I saw an orange couch at The Bay for $2000.00 and loved it. Three months ago it was at the Zellers store marked down to $420.00. I kick myself for not buying it then. I will go regularly now to see if I come across another. I won't but will still look as everything they have is crazy reduced - even the $1300 pillow. I think there are two Zellers left in Canada.

Poor coyote.

Well I wouldn't be too quick to say poor coyote. They are nuisances here in Newfoundland and there is a bounty out on them. They are not natural to this area and they need to be killed in order for our own wildlife to survive.

When I saw the original price, before the explanations, I wondered how much rental they'd want to try it out for ten minutes.

They're a nuisance here too, Casey, and I don't think this is their natural habitat either. When we moved here 30+ years ago they were a rarity. But no longer. I worry about their effect on the pet population. However, I still don't like the idea of an animal being skinned so some person can lounge on their fur.

Zeller closed down years ago. All of them.

We need our local coyotes and bobcats to keep the rats, rabbits and ground squirrels in check. They have not been doing a very good job this summer.

"Zeller closed down years ago. All of them."

They reopened one here in Ottawa in 2014 as a store liquidator to HBC and HomeOutfitters. Seriously, there are some great deals and they should open more across Canada for all the vacant Target stores there are. If only a few even.

OJ, I stole my time with the pillow while at the store. I was in awe of it but weirdly, not interested in it.

That price is right up there with things made with mosquito hides. (Do you know how many mosquitoes it takes to make anything.) Just Kidding... .

It's not difficult to make a coyote pillow. find a pillow, and find a coyote pelt, and make a coyote fur pillow cover. I saw coyote pelt for sale around $45-75 each.
