4.3★ · in-stock · ASIN B01LYNW421
Example of the class, not a ranked test.
air mattress
Built-in pump, queen, indoor. This is a stopgap until the real mattress shows up. Re-inflate after the first night; vinyl stretches.

blackout curtain panel pair
Empty houses often have no window coverings. A 52×84 pair covers a typical stateside bedroom window. Darker fabric blocks more light.
4.6★ · in-stock · ASIN B0DNZ1R37H
Example of the class, not a ranked test. Grommets on this example are about 1.5 in; they take a 1-inch rod.
