I pulled the trigger this Christmas. It’s great.

No problem. I'm waiting on this as well for my elite series 2 because $180 is a lot for a controller and I'll be damned if I get rid of it for any reason that isn't replaced fully by mouse and keyboard

You completely dodged what he was saying, why are you even commenting you're not helping no one and just talking shit and tried to say "it's time to go outside"

To add to this, true 1000 thread count sheets are heavy weight and don't breath well, meaning you'll get real sweaty and uncomfortable. I have one made by "pure down" that is excellent.

There's nothing I can recommend ATM. They'll all get drift. I would wait for a company to come out with hall effect drop in replacement sticks and repair what you have with those

Mine seems to be leaking from the bottom somewhere. I keep finding water on the floor and it’s not coming from the hoses.

I live some place that is regularly -40 and I don’t use a 1000 full duvet. You absolutely do not need one of that fill.
If you’re in the USA or Canada look for a nearby Hutterite or a Amish community. I bought my duvet from them and it’s a tank.

Sheets and giggles has fantastic eucalyptus bedding that is insanely silky and I have had zero complaints about their duvet covers and sheets, when you start looking for those. I also love their duvet inserts too but they aren't down. They are, however sustainable and ethically sourced.

Reply to Phones and Headphones. by skykyub
The only phone that comes to mind is the fairphone but if you're in the USA then you're screwed. Headphones you can get a ton of different options. At home I have beywrdynamic dt990s and on the go I have Shure sonic 4s because they're both easily repairable and sound good. Anything with a removable cable will work here but you might as well splurge on something hifi because good audio stays good

Yeah the really high thread counts like that are just thinner thread at that point. It rips extremely easily. 500-600 tops will feel luxurious and get that softer with age thing a lot of us love with 100% cotton.
I sold home textiles too long to pay for college 🙃

leaf it's more than $15 but considering you can bulk buy double edge blades and use those in it you're saving a ton long term

I'd try a different brand, Tide, Gain, etc, just as an experiment. As with everything even detergents can have a bad batch.

Interesting way to say you don’t respect other people’s time and expertise.

I got the DW5600 as well. Paid about 40 bucks for it at Walmart. I’ve had it 8 years and only replaced the battery once.

True, I have one that is 650 fill power and I wash and dry it all the time. Doesn’t seem to ruin anything about it.

Keep in mind that you're going to have to clean it at some point. Think about how you will do that. Duvet covers are nice and all but sometimes spilled things can seep through them.

I just bought an Eddie Bauer one, it stays fully inflated. It's slime sleeping under a very warm cloud.

All down eventually migrates to the edges. I bought a second one and sat out in the driveway one day and removed the down from first one and stuffed it into middle channels of new one. I then sewed extra seams to middle channels to secure extra down. To this day, a decade later, that down cover is heavy and full all over. Also, as others mentioned, the duvet cover is I portent for quality and feel.
