This may not be on your radar, but I bought a silk-filled comforter and I loooooove it. The way it squishes is just really pleasing to me.

I have the Sijo Home eucalyptus cotton sheets and duvet cover along with their ClimaTech duvet that is great for a temperate apartment even in winter. I love this set!

Even good ones will look pretty flat when you first get them because they've been compressed. They will need a bit of time and some good shaking to fluff back up, or you can put them in the dryer with a felt ball or a tennis ball to re-loft them too. Even when I am backpacking, first thing I like to do once I have my shelter up is to lay out my down topquilt (similar idea to a sleeping bag) so it has time to fluff up before bed and at home I store them loose.

I had a cuddledown once and it was amazing. Not sure why I don't even have it any more!

I know it's not what you're asking, and I know this isn't r/Frugal, but my wallets got smaller and smaller and now I use cash wrapped around two cards + ID, secured with a binder clip. I will never go back.

Reply to Looking for a glass water bottle, I have a stainless steel one but not a fan of the taste afterwards. by Ok_Walk6578
I’m here to tell you that titanium has been fantastic for me. I purchased a Snow Peak Aurora bottle. Made in Japan and insanely light.
There is no aftertaste whatsoever. I have had metallic taste out of lesser quality titanium products though.
It’s expensive but it’s a buy it for life bottle IMO.
Best of luck with your search.

Also, 1000 down is stupid and not even real unless in absolute humidity free conditions. Marketing again. 800 is realistically the highest backpackers (I've back packed extensively and worked in the outdoor industry) should go, but only to increase packability and decrease weight. None of that matters on your bed. I prefer a heavier feather/down combo for something that stays on my bed.

Yes, I would say it has even better build quality than it’s predecessor. Really nice controller with the pro paddles on the back that you can map to any buttons you want.

Depending on how they're constructed the filling can shift and bunch up when laundered. If they're constructed properly that won't happen.

Reply to Speed Queen TR7. staining clothes by Ventorr
I have a 9 year old (I think) Speed Queen and I have used a variety of detergents from Tide Simple to Gain (currently using All Free Mega pods) and it hasn’t been an issue. When I use powder I always dump the powder in the bottom. With liquid I have always just put on the clothes. Worth pods I turn the water on out the pod in and then add the clothes. I usually don’t extra rinse.

The way they work is they trick you into spending 53 bucks for pure nonsense.
(And if it actually does create ozone, pure nonsense that will damage your lungs.)

These things are snake oil, they don’t do anything, just use soap and water and you’ll be fine. Anything you see claiming to ionize, ozonize, or “structure” water, like that kangen crap, is just using words to sound scientific to pass off their gimmick.

1000fp is overkill for a comforter, that’s the quality of down you wear on Everest so it’s light and packs down super small. Anything 800+ will be fine, you won’t notice the difference .
Feathered Friends stuff is great and very high quality. Multiple options for weight and pricing.

1000 fill power on a duvet would be crazy expensive. It would be much cheaper to get a lower fill power that just has more filling. The higher power just gets you more warmth per weight. It’s important for ultralight jackets but not really for a duvet. My preference is for a heavier one.

Look into Seventh Heaven down comforters. They use a minimum of 850 Fill down. It is washed but in treated meaning it stays true to it's fill power. Feathered friends is one of the only other US based manufactures that is at all close to this quality.

Yeah stuff like remotes, controllers, and stuff people don't tend to upgrade. I took that approach with my keyboard

I’ve found Cuddledown to have very high quality down: really warm and also very lightweight so it feels like a cloud. I think I have 650 fill and it’s almost overkill in eastern PA, with the room temp set to 60 in the winter. I can’t imagine what 1000 fill would be like.
