If a product is not superbly made, make it yourself.

I buy cheap pillows and replace them often. I know its not 'buy it for life', but I buy them often for my own quality of life. I am allergic to dust mites and no amount of sterilizing washing will get rid of them for my level of sensitivity. It really has to be a personal decision.

I really really dislike the mindset that prioritizes finding joy in stupid stuff around your house. It strikes me as selfish. It’s like the best we can do is be joyous. How ineffectual.
If you believe joy is so important, take meth. Take meth all day and mix it with antidepressants and when you get tired, take Xanax. When you wake up, just take meth. A lot of meth brings a lot of joy. That’s why people do it. Yay meth. Brings joy. So important. Meth. Dumb. Marie Hondo.

I went this route. You can customize the pillow with the stuffing they provide.

Wool fill. Had it more than ten years. The casing probably needs a change soon but i just recently pulled out the wool to rearrange it. Like new

Sounds nice, looking into it. How do you clean a wool pillow though?

If you have an induction stove. Just buy one for the stove. I just tested my Electric cattle 2400w 0.5L water takes about 2min. In the induction. 1800w also 0.5L is 1.5min.

Shockingly, I was an EMT for 7 years in NJ. I’ve seen it all. Also, maybe you could take a lesson in dark sarcasm.

As much as I love their chairs, I'll never spend more than about $100 on one as long as I have a cat.
Which means I'll probably never own one.

Very breathable and not anything like memory foam. Latex doesn't sleep hot like memory foam, and latex actually has bounce to it unlike memory foam.

Check out truewerk. They make construction clothing for every climate. I have been wearing them daily as a PipeFitter for about 1-1/2 years. I am in California so I have no need for the lined/insulated ones, but the quality and durability is great. I believe the winter pants are called the t3’s. Super comfortable and great range of motion, and look great

For a different perspective, maybe try posting on /r/helpmefind with something like "Looking for a washable pillow that will last me a decade"

Go work in an ER/ambulance for a while then come back and act like you know what you’re talking about.

Patagonia - MLC maximum legal carryon - had mine since ‘94; 20 + countries even served as a crag bag for a year, hideable pack straps, cordura or some sort of ballistic cloth… this thing is bomber

I have a bonavita. It looks terrible due to something with the finish, but it's been used daily for 4 years and counting. It's also been dropped and spilled on quite a bit. It's not heavily built at all, but it's a kettle, so it isn't like it needs it.
As for the finish, it's either porous and terrible or breaking down somehow. I went through a depressive episode a couple months into owning it, let it get some dust, and the thing has looked dull and dirty ever since. And it's only just starting to develop scale, which given how hard the water is here, I'm very pleased with.

Yeah check out r/sassy_internet_chump, probably more appropriate.

Cold Touch Contour Gel-Infused Memory Foam Pillow - Oversized
We like these from Macy’s. We’ve bought them on sale for 20 to 40 in the past. We also have a shredded latex that is nice too.

Sorry I don’t need a lesson on that buddy, you should know as well as I do. 12 years for me. Apologies for being defensive though, not my intention to take it out on you.
