Since a car accident 10 years ago, I have struggled with pillows. I have neck, shoulder, back, hip, legs problems. But if my neck is bad, everything else seems to flare as well. This past year, I gave Members Mark pillows a go (Sam’s Club). They were highly rated on the website with some comments about recent decrease in fill but I tried. Life changing for me. Probably about $16-18 for two. Yes, the fill needs work and in 8 months, I replaced them but rotate all four on my bed. They loft up in between. I may cut one open and use the fill to improve the others. Regardless, i have done gel, foam, feather, alternative down - up to $150/pillow. These are now my pilllows of choice.

He's asking about getting good value, not commenting on pillow lifecycles.

I used to be the program Chair at a design college, she needs to go talk to somebody in the administration (not a teacher) and ask for assistance as she has a medical issue affecting her education. The school is legally bound to assist her in achieving her education despite her symptoms, most likely they will be happy to help. Good luck.

I have a fan like this one and because of the way the fan spins it doesn't really hurt to stick your finger in the front. Stick it in the back tho...not sure how much finger you'd be left with.

Ok so I know you aren’t looking for a specific pillow recommendation but I did a ton of research and kept coming across this pillow by dosaze for $119. It didn’t really look like one I would go for but it had a 60 day return policy. Hands down the best pillow I’ve ever owned. Help significantly with neck and shoulder pain. Before, I was swapping out pillows every couple of nights and now I only sleep with this one. I’ve had it for about a year. Highly recommend giving it a shot but also because pillows are so personal, and you can’t know until you sleep on one, try to find ones with really good return policies like this one so you feel like it’s less of a risk spending the extra cash.

3 bed sizes, 4 firmness sizes, average $30 comes with a 60 day money back guarantee. I like the medium firmness, my wife likes the hard firmness. Been using for well over 10 years.

Sort on gshock website by price and there are quite a few choices from the GRB200 to the GW9400 for around $350. Should just look at the styles you like as they are all very durable.

“It all began with the cigarette, the leading cause of fires in the United States. Against pressure to create cigarettes that safely extinguish on upholstery, the tobacco industry redirected the blame onto furniture manufacturers, claiming that they have a responsibility to make furniture less susceptible to fire. The door was opened for the chemical industry, which lobbied heavily for the use of flame-retardants in furniture. The very law supposed to protect our rights now required the use of toxic chemicals in household products. Investigative reporters at the Chicago Tribune first published this alarming series of events.
Research strongly connects the chemicals in flame retardants to cancer. Firefighters are disproportionately affected because of their consistent exposure to the chemical fumes released from furniture in fires. The toxins are found in human bodies and in breast milk; children are among the most susceptible.” Link: https://green.harvard.edu/news/uncovering-flame-retardant-scandal
Yeah I definitely don’t trust the government on this issue. It’s serious, linked to cancer, endocrine problems, all kinds of things. Plus they don’t actually prevent fires, and when they do ignite, they create serious health hazards for fire fighters, it’s seriously fucked. There’s hundreds of different kinds of FRs, and they’re still being studied individually. It’s very difficult to get a clear picture of one’s own personal risk. As a consumer, since there is no way of knowing which products contain which chemicals, I opt to avoid them as much as possible by choosing untreated alternatives. Why risk it.

I love my Rockwell 6s. It comes with different heads so your son can try them to see what aggressiveness level he likes and it’s stainless steel. I’ve tried many a safety razor over the years and nothings worse than getting one that is too aggressive leaving razor burn. On the flip side one that isn’t aggressive enough doesn’t give the best shave. Everyone’s different so it requires a bit of experimentation to figure out what works for you.

Totally agree with your point on the return policy... although I'd prefer to make an informed decision and not have the hassle of return and then continuing the search... ok will look into your specific recommendation. Than you very much!
