Pros

  • Lightweight, uniquely shaped paperboard carton stands out on shelf without excess headspace; gloss highlights cushion image on front against matte background
  • Instructions for use are very clear (albeit in small font) in three steps on back panel with images
  • The cushions themselves feature Step 1 and Step 2 on the backing and top layer for ease of use

Notes

  • While directions are numbered and clear, one may wonder why the disc wasn’t labeled as step #1
  • Additionally, no disposal cues
