Small - Misleading - buyer beware - NOT A KING
Doing a google search I see a king size pillow described as "King pillows have an extra-long measurement of 20" x 36", and two of them side-by-side are the perfect width for a standard king-sized bed", by that and anything I have understood in my life I would expect this to be somewhat of a standardized measurement/description. I would not expect that if I buy a KING pillow its dimensions would be smaller than the industry standard for a Standard size Pillow "The standard pillow size measuring 20 inches by 26 inches is the most popular. Its compactness makes it easy to fit across any bed size. "
Yes, now that I look back the dimensions were identified in the description, but should the buyer need to read these details to get what they expect from a standardized measurement. I have a couple of issues with this Bait and switch or buyer beware marketing; buy what standard do we hold company's accountable to not continuously working to short the customer in their attempts to increase their profits. I completely see this idea of "we will make our own standers for what a King size pillow" as dishonest. If the king were to cost $150, a standard was $100, and you want to market a mini or budget friendly size this would give buyers options that allow us to make our choice without feeling like you tried to pull a fast one on us.
I am so tired of companies, employees, co workers, etc... only taking care of themselves..... dishonest, lazy, selfish... This idea of having to lookout for how so many are pushing responsibility or doing the minimal effort and leaving the details or completion to someone else is completely exhausting.... Not dealing with honesty and integrity is completely exhausting....
