Hard agree. I have RA and traditionally have had a difficult time being comfortable lying down. Slept on them exclusively for two years now and the improvement in my neck pain is almost unbelievable. I now take one whenever I travel.

I have tried a bunch of pillows, and the sleep innovations memory foam contour pillow (queen) is the one I've been using for... Wow, since 2013 so 9 or 10 years now. Make sure you use the fatter side for under your neck or you get neck pain. Saw some similar reviews on amazon. Not sure I'll use a different pillow. It's the only one that relieves my neck pain.

IKEA has that. I’ve got a few different sizes for different types of stuff. Put a few years on them so far with no signs of wear. They also have two styles of lids, a snap on/watertight type lid and more of a press on cork lid. I use the snap on lids since I take lunches in a backpack and they tend to get tossed around. Would recommend.

Reply to comment by pitiponk1 in I’ve had this Dakine backpack for ~17 years and have taken it on all my trips. The zippers on this thing still work like they are new. All my other backpacks have had their zippers break off so this is my old trusty pack. by cumaboardladies

Unfortunately not really. I think UA still has some quality stuff, but you gotta check it out in person (vs random buy online). Dicks seems to have a good selection at their larger stores.

Other than that, Nike Dri Fit socks have surprised me. LuLu Lemon has been disappointing. I really like Danner boots and socks, but some boots fit weird. Stio has awesome gear worth the cost, but I hate their logo everywhere (personal preference). Still haven’t tried Vuori but want to.

Sorry for the ramble. I realize you want boxers heat gear reccos. I wear Hanes lol. I randomly bought Uniqlo long Johns and those are pretty decent actually.

Why wouldn’t they be able to be stacked? I have some plastic Rubbermaid, three different heights, all the same lids. If you stack smallest on the bottom, tallest on top, they take up very little space.

I’m honestly surprised I’m having so much trouble finding something that fits my description. I figured someone somewhere would design a full set of various size glass containers with only one size lid.

I have found that buckwheat or millet pillows are the most comfortable. I used a buckwheat hull pillow for nine years when I lived in Japan. After moving back to the U.S. I tried every pillow I could find in a store. None of them were very comfortable or lasted very long.

I found a millet hull pillow online and have been using it for about three-four years now. My wife stole my first one so I had to buy a second one. I love the fact that I can remove the millet and wash the fabric part of the pillow just like a pillow case.

I use a buckwheat pillow by Hullo. I like it cause it offers good air circulation and adjustability, it’s just kind of heavy for a pillow.

Best part is you can add, remove or replace the buckwheat hulls as needed; extending the life of the pillow.
