A few days ago, a number of us were talking about the Kleinhout pillows, made in The Netherlands. At least one Arachnid has one of these pillows and said she loves it. It seems reasonably priced, is lightweight, has wool felt in the blocks (sandwiching a foam core...) and is comes in an oval configuration, (as well as a round one), eliminating the problem of the corners poking you in the tummy. The website also mentioned that for people outside the E.U. there is a 19% discount - which piqued the interest of a lot of us!!
But the big question was, how much would shipping be to the US? So I wrote and asked. They confirmed that I would indeed get a 19% discount (which amounts to the VAT paid by EU residents), and that the shipping would be (Euro) 22. So the bottom line is that for a 24" X 30" block pillow, after discount is taken and after shipping is added, and then converted to US currency, the pillow would cost about $100, give or take a few dollars in fluctuation of currency. The smaller oval and the round pillows are less. And yes, they accept credit cards - but you'll either have to write (snail mail) or send the numbers in a series of emails. http://www.kleinhout.com/GB/lacepillows/index.html Clay Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
