The best part is that they tie sections off so it never gets bunched up. Old European style. Most quit doing it because of the labor, but it’s way to go

I get it, I wasn’t even a comforter/duvet person and preferred quilts but Frankenmuth Woolen Mill kept popping up and from there it was over for everything else, most breathable piece of bedding we have and keeps us the perfect temperature. Unfortunately they need to be sent back to the company to be cleaned, but we meticulously keep our cover on it and let it air out every month or so out in the sun. It is probably the least “need to readjust” duvet I’ve ever seen. Goes perfectly with our Red Land Cotton duvet cover. Year round!

Charisma cotton towels from Costco are awesome

In addition to switching pillowcases more often as others suggested, you can try routinely pretreating the ones you just took off (ie, give them a quick spray with shout and toss them in the basket). I do this with heavy sweat items like the collars of my work shirts and it definitely helps.

Which ones? Even the low lint ones I recently got are non stop lint makers

They make a lot of stuff for the kitchen. Source: I work for a German kitchen cabinetry company that uses their products.

It's a German company. They mainly make ladders I believe.

The Company Store might fit what you're looking for! They have beautiful comforters in lots of solid colors and some prints too, I think. My family always bought from them and we've never had issues; I have a comforter that I was given for college nearly 15 years ago and while I use it as guest bedding now, it's just as good as the day I got it.

I know, it’s a lot to ask. I just hate duvets. I feel like they constantly need to be readjusted, they rarely lay properly, they are a pain to wash. If it truly is the only option, I’ll try it, but it’s a lot of money to spend on a product I automatically don’t love

Good luck on a buy it for life comforter if you don’t use a duvet cover

Costco has some nice bath towels, but not sure of the brands they carry. I received JC Penney towels as a housewarming gift over 40+ years ago and they are used as rags now but still in pretty decent shape!

If you’re throwing these correctly, the dog can’t catch it, they chase it down.
Some herding dogs love playing chase & retrieve!

As someone with a shaved head and greasy scalp I will often wipe down my head with a washcloth. Either right before bed or randomly if feeling gross. Probably won't help if he sweats in his sleep though.

6'5" here and I've had great luck with Wrangler. You'd better like plaid though.

Only non-black people would think it's a crazy question.

It's funny you assumed I'm white but I'm also not black so fair enough I guess?

Try adding 1/2 teaspoon of TSP to the laundry. It's terrible for the environment, but it's amazing for getting rid of ring around the collar type of icky.
Tsp was regulated out of laundry detergent in the 90's and dishwasher detergents in the 00's for i think for good reasons. I will soak some laundry in it periodically to get rid of body oils.

Genuinely dumb! Maybe if you were of color like me, you would see it differently

Why not? Documentaries black-out people's eyes when they want to hide their identities. Do you also not think that black was the default color in this guy's app? I can't tell if you're genuinely dumb or just trolling.

Comforters really shouldn’t be washed anyway. It’s never good for them at all even if they say they can be washed. It messes them up
