The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. Its applicability to the design process is seen in the physical fit, or interface, between the human body and the various components of interior space. Human Dimension and Interior Space is the first major anthropometrically based reference book of design standards for use by all those involved with the physical planning and detailing of interiors, including interior designers, architects, furniture designers, builders, industrial designers, and students of design. The use of anthropometric data, although no substitute for good design or sound professional judgment should be viewed as one of the many tools required in the design process. This comprehensive overview of anthropometrics consists of three parts. The first part deals with the theory and application of anthropometrics and includes a special section dealing with physically disabled and elderly people. It provides the designer with the fundamentals of anthropometrics and a basic understanding of how interior design standards are established. The second part contains easy-to-read, illustrated anthropometric tables, which provide the most current data available on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. Also included is data relative to the range of joint motion and body sizes of children. The third part contains hundreds of dimensioned drawings, illustrating in plan and section the proper anthropometrically based relationship between user and space. The types of spaces range from residential and commercial to recreational and institutional, and all dimensions include metric conversions. In the Epilogue, the authors challenge the interior design profession, the building industry, and the furniture manufacturer to seriously explore the problem of adjustability in design. They expose the fallacy of designing to accommodate the so-called average man, who, in fact, does not exist. Using government data, including studies prepared by Dr. Howard Stoudt, Dr. Albert Damon, and Dr. Ross McFarland, formerly of the Harvard School of Public Health, and Jean Roberts of the U.S. Public Health Service, Panero and Zelnik have devised a system of interior design reference standards, easily understood through a series of charts and situation drawings. With Human Dimension and Interior Space, these standards are now accessible to all designers of interior environments.Binding Type: Hardcover

Do not recommend
Size: Standard / 2 Packs, Color: White/Soft
At an Airbnb in Marine CA, these pillows were on my bed. They were so wonderful, I took a picture of the label so I could order them for myself. After a few weeks, the feathers began working out of casing and would poke my head. I then put them in two pillowcases thinking that would make a difference- nope. When I removed the outer pillowcase to launder, there were 69-80 little feathers between the two layers. I went back to my old pillows and although they aren’t as great as down pillows, I don’t miss being poked and finding little feathers between the pillowcases and in my bedroom. Four months later, I am still finding a few random feathers in my bedroom.

Very Comfortable and Good Quality
Size: Queen / 2 Packs, Color: White/Soft
These pillows are very comfortable and soft, but still give good support for sleeping. The material feels high quality and the size is perfect for my bed. I’ve been sleeping much better since I started using them. I would definitely recommend them.

Nice but smell when you open them
Size: Queen / 2 Packs, Color: White/Soft
These look nice and confirm the materials (no plastics no poly) but they do smell a bit - I am going to let them air out for a day and update this review if the smell goes away

Hotel Grand Set of 2 pillows
Size: King
Excellent quality and comfort. The pillows are soft but with the perfect support, ideal for any sleeping position. They feel fresh thanks to the cotton cover and keep their shape very well. Without a doubt, a great purchase for a hotel-like break at home.
