The fuck are these op replies? They get recommendations and immediately shit on them.
“Try a buckwheat pillow.”
OP “No. Buckwheat bad. No reason why. Don’t know what buckwheat is and disagree with recommendation. Want good old fashioned cheap BIFL pillow.”
“Try this pillow made in a wool mill that’s been operating since 1894. They don’t do marketing to keep prices low.”
OP “No. Want good old fashioned pillow. Not new pillow.”
“Here’s a comprehensive video about pillow reviews.”
OP “Okay… 45 min video… will check it out.”
“Here’s a pillow I like from Marshall’s.”
OP “WHY do you like it?”
“Hey OP pillows generally aren’t BIFL and there’s a lot of preference involved.”
OP “Yeah but where do I get THE TRUTH?!”
They want someone to tell them that Dollar Tree secretly has the best pillows with a scale in them that takes digital readings of your head and design a pressure map to provide perfect resistances to them, but it’s powered by sleep magic so there’s no batteries. Also it’s made of magic fairy wings that flutter to keep you cool all night and it’s got Frodos mithril chain shirt woven into it so it’s a great back support for watching tv AND sleeping! Doesn’t matter if you’re a side sleeper, back sleeper, sleep on your stomach, in a chair, on the floor, or on a plane this pillow DOES IT ALL for only $1.99!!

Reply to comment by CDN_a in Where can I find the 'real truth' about purchasing pillows? by [deleted]
Your primary issue is you want GOOD and CHEAP. Those two things are usually mutually exclusive, especially when talking BIFL products that aren’t cast iron. Buckwheat pillows are a great fit for what you’re asking for and what you’re saying you need them for. However is sounds like you want someone to jump in and tell you Great Value pillows are the way to go.
Buckwheat pillows are literally ideal for all of that. I paid $100 for my buckwheat Hullo pillow and quickly had to buy my boyfriend one as he was so jealous. 5 years later they’re still in perfect condition.
Buckwheat pillows cost more and you have to dial it in, but they’re 10000x better than any other pillow I’ve found. Other pillows are the way the come, and they’re either perfect or not. With buckwheat you can make the pillow you want.
As for washable they’re incredibly easy to clean. Dump the hulls into a trash bag, wash the cover, dump the hulls back in, move on with your day. The washer doesn’t destroy your pillow. Should you want to replace the buckwheat filling for some reason that’s easy to do as well.

Reply to WIRED computer mouse. I'm particularly interested in one with a cable that will not fray. They seem to fray very shortly after I get them. I want the cable to be like a quarter of an inch thick. I don't care if the thing weighs 5 lbs. My budget is $200. by TheJawsofIce
I’ve been using a Razer Naga 2014 as my daily driver. Hours of heavy duty gaming 7 days/wk, cord has been abused and holds up well.
Most office mice are not built to stand up to abuse the way high quality gaming mice are.
The Razer Naga Trinity might suit you, or another one of their options. I believe all of them have wired and wireless variants.
Remember that technology is rarely BIFL, especially if you don’t take proper care of it. But my Razer Naga is still going STRONG after 9 years of ABUSE.
