Amazon Basics 6-Piece Fade Resistant Bath, Hand and Washcloth Towel Set - Cotton, Navy Blue
⭐ (1/5) | ✅ Verified Purchase | 1171 found helpful | 2018-04-29
Im a 30yr old single guy who knew nothing about towels when I bought this towel set. The Amazon towels were inadequate in every way and left me searching for better. I now know a lot more about towel construction and materials. I wholeheartedly recommend you avoid these Amazon towels and instead spend a little extra money on a better towel.

Unbelievably cheap material, I have had better luck with towels purchased at Walmart, Target and Macy’s. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and washed them several time for many hours before writing this review. The pictures speak for themselves. You be the judge.
Amazon Basics Quick-Dry Towels 100% Cotton - 8-Piece Set, Platinum
⭐ (1/5) | ✅ Verified Purchase | 786 found helpful | 2018-04-09
Quick-Dry must mean that the towels themselves dry quickly- of course they would, since they feel like velveteen and absorb almost no water from skin. I bought these because my family diskiles plush towels- we live in the Caribbean and like thin rough-ish cotton towels that dry the body.

This has ZERO support! It is soft and plush but you sink right to your mattress! Once you lay on it for a while, you can’t get out, can’t roll over; I felt like I was trapped!
If you look through the reviews and questions you will see that the seller refuses to answer the many questions regarding the density.

I have chronic neck and ear pain and require a high quality pillow for my sleeping comfort. After saying goodbye to my $150 latex dreamy pillow (that was discontinued by the company), I’ve been on a constant search for a comfortable, lofty, puffy, yet supportive pillow to rock me to sleep.

I am actually shocked that people have given these towels 5 stars. They are the quality of a $4 towel that would come from Walmart. They were thin, and definately not “hotel quality” towels.

I was really disappointed with this purchase. In the photo you can see how thin it is and it is extremely soft. You can see I can squeeze it easily just my hand and my fingers can touch. It’s that thin. When I contacted support and got no support, and posted a review, my review got taken down.

The tag says the product is 100% cotton but the trim melts and sticks when in contact with hot surfaces (the rest of the potholder is fine). Other customers have pointed out this exact issue and taken pictures.

These towels are only 14" wide and not 16", as advertised. (I measured them, and see picture). They look oddly long and skinny. Only 29" long too, not 30".
This strategy saves the manufacturer a lot of money on materials, but it is false and misleading to the buying public who don’t get what they paid for.

I bought this mattress topper that was delivered 5 days ago- it’s been slept on 4 times. Today when i took my sheets off to wash them, much to my surprise and disappointment, the topper has been ripped in several spots- all the way through. It is such poor quality, i would not recommend this topper to anyone for that reason.

Returned unopened. Had ordered 3 different products and started with the 2 smaller items for carry-on. We didn’t like the 1st one, but the 2nd one seemed to be our winner - so we returned this because we felt it wasn’t compact enough.

This was so uncomfortable - my thighs would not fit the child-size indentations. I took it to my chiropractor and she said "These types of pillows are terrible!" She showed me how this pushes your knees too far apart and then leaves the rest of your leg unsupported - causing extra stress on your hip, ankle, etc.

The rims around the edges of the silver lining burn and melt!!! I would understand if they were coming into contact with a flame, but it’s melting by just holding the handle. I would not recommend this product.

I would have to agree with all of the other reviews. This arrived on time and well packaged. It’s basically thick plastic foam of very good quality and as soon as we put it into our cushions, there was a huge improvement. We only purchased 2 to try it out first and have only had them for a week before deciding to order 2 more.

This flattens as soon as you apply weight from your knees/thighs (i’m 5'4 140lbs). I’m better off using my full size pillow again.

I found it difficult to lean back into an airplane seat while using this travel pillow. The back portion of the pillow is too bulky and firm to fit comfortably against the back of the airplane seat. I couldn’t adjust the cushion on the back of the airplane seat to find a compatible position with this pillow.

I purchased two of these for a trip my wife and I were taking to Australia from the US. Right out of the package they seemed well made and very durable. The price was fantastic as well. Then we tried them on. I am 6’ 1" and my wife I’d 5’ 4". Neither of us could get the neck pillow into a comfortable position.

I was disappointed on this. I just could not get comfortable on the airplane. It was too big for my neck, and when I was sitting on the airplane actually had to sit slouching forward.

This pillow is enormous it’s inappropriate for a normal size person! I’m very disappointed because it is not comfortable! I can’t return it before the required day because I am in France, I hope that I can return it when I return the beginning of May!

The pillow is WAY too thick. Im a side sleeper trying to alleviate knee pain and it keeps my legs too far apart from each other to the point where it’s more painful to use the pillow.
I’ve tried it between my knees, hips and ankles to try for a better adjustment but it’s still too thick. If it was thinner this would be a homerun
