AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST
LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN E.O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD

"Glorious. . .You will marvel at the brilliance and vast weirdness of your design." --The Washington Post

Bill Bryson, bestselling author of A Short History of Nearly Everything, takes us on a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body. As addictive as it is comprehensive, this is Bryson at his very best, a must-read owner's manual for everybody.

Bill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human body--how it functions, its remarkable ability to heal itself, and (unfortunately) the ways it can fail. Full of extraordinary facts (your body made a million red blood cells since you started reading this) and irresistible Bryson-esque anecdotes, The Body will lead you to a deeper understanding of the miracle that is life in general and you in particular. As Bill Bryson writes, "We pass our existence within this wobble of flesh and yet take it almost entirely for granted." The Body will cure that indifference with generous doses of wondrous, compulsively readable facts and information.

Firm and comfortable
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Standard
These pillows are well made. Firm, yet comfortable. I am pretty rough with my pillows. I toss and turn frequently. After one year, they are still holding up.

Quite good. I am actually surprised. Too small for queensize
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
These pillows are actually good. After reading a ton of reviews I pulled the trigger on these. I was 100% sure I was going to receive bad quality pillows (too flat or too thick). They do take 24-48 hours to firmen up. Let's see if they flatten out in a few weeks or if they hold up. My wife said the pillow was too thick and it raised her head too much. I don't agree, I sleep perfect on these, no neck pain in the morning. Update 04/24 These are actually quite small to be considered queen pillows. They have become firm over the last few days.

Full, Fluffy & Perfectly Supportive Euro Pillows!
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: European, Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: European
These Euro size pillow inserts are fantastic! They’re soft, full, fluffy, and hold their shape very well. The firmness is perfect — supportive without feeling too hard. They filled my pillow covers beautifully and made the bed look much more luxurious. Great quality for the price and very comfortable for lounging or sleeping. Very happy with this purchase!

amazing.
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Queen
WOW. I was really skeptical, but the other reviews are spot on: these are amazing firm pillows. I really hope they don't lose their firmness and become lumpy like other pillows tend to do. Excellent pillows for the price!!
