Chezmoi Collection 7-Piece Palace Dragon Jacquard Comforter Set, Queen, Black/Gold/Red

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0034L4ABC

I love body pillows. But I struggle finding one that is long enough to throw an arm and a leg over. I think I’m just going to have to makeone like this , since there’s no way in hell I am going to pay $100 for body pillow. And this pillow probably isn’t long enough/full of enough cushion.

Bruh, just get one of these

The Review Meta extension says that product has a lot of fake reviews. I see a lot of upvotes, can anyone else vouch for either this pillow or the sweethome being trustworthy? I don't want to accuse OP of being a shill, but I've been getting more and more wary of this kind of thing.

I travel a ton for work and these have been my workhorses:

• Lo & Sons Hanover backpack: Loooove this backpack! Fits everything I need for 1-3 nights, and it’s the perfect carryon for longer trips. I’ve always resisted backpacks — they usually make me look like a giant toddler — but this is neutral enough for a reasonably professional look.
  
• Balega Hidden Comfort socks: These keep my feet more comfortable during long days and help reduce blisters.
  
• J Pillow neck pillow: The only neck pillow I’ve used that is actually comfortable.
  
• Bagail packing cubes: I swear by packing cubes! They’re especially helpful when you’re hitting multiple cities and need to keep your stuff accessible without fully unpacking.
  
  In terms of clothing, YMMV but I generally pack a mix of cotton/wool (easy to air out) and synthetics (wrinkle-resistant) in dark neutrals. My stapes are:
  
• Everlane cashmere crew in charcoal: I’ve worn this at least once a week for three years. I love it.
  
• Ministry of Supply “Easier Than Silk” blouse in black, navy, and white: Nothing like silk, but travel friendly.
  
• Lark & Ro culottes in black
  
• Tiger of Sweden Lovann cigarette trousers in black
  
  And finally, for my (very finicky, pain-prone) feet:
  
• Susina Emerson Oxfords in black
  
• Adidas NEO Cloudform QT Flex sneakers in black
  
• ABEO Felicity heeled booties in black

1. Take some ibuprofen to get the inflammation down. Take it with food and take it with TUMs (antacid calcium tablets ) to protect your stomach.
   
   
2. Spend your time on the floor. Read a book or watch videos to keep your mind off of it.
   
   
3. Get to a doctor (preferably an orthopedic doctor specializing in back pain )to confirm that it isn't a disc injury. Most back pain is usually just muscle spasms.
   
   
4. As soon as you can get walking, even if it hurts. It will speed up your back healing.
   
   
5. Physical therapy has the best track record for helping back pain as far as type of professionals go. If you want an adjustment go to an Osteopath, not a Chiropractor. Osteopaths do adjustments and have the same education as MDs. Research has shown that adjustments peak in value after about two times.
   
   
6. The most therapeutic self care for bad backs is swimming, long walks with good posture, and ab strengthening exercises.
   
   
7. Bend from the hips, not the waist, knees bent, and always keep your back straight when doing so by looking up.
   
   
8. If you must sit in a chair put a cylindrical cushion (or cushy rolled up towel )between the back of your chair and the small of your back.....and sit up straight.
   
   
9. Remember that your spine and back are near indestructible, so chances are this is a soft tissue injury that will go away gradually and there is no need to worry until a doctor tells you otherwise. Worry is the biggest problem with back pain, rather than any issues with the back.
   
   Good Luck and take it easy :)

Wool blankets aren't cheap in general. You can check military surplus stores, maybe Goodwill. I've gotten some good deals at rendezvous in Wisconsin.

Here is a decent option.

Circebubbly

and before someone asks

I have a J-pillow. It's not perfect but it's much better than the standard neck pillow. I usually opt for a window seat to sleep against.

I have one of these and with ear plugs, and an eye mask....I can almost sleep if I wasn't sitting upright at an 85 degree angle.

I bought this one about a year ago:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V909F1K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wji.zbY80TAGC

It is really nice. Came recommended by Wirecutter. The filing is shredded memory foam. It is pretty firm though. Which I like and gives good support, but if you are used to really soft pillows it might seem weird.

It does tend to get compressed though, so you need to fluff it fairly often.

One great thing about it is that the whole pillow is machine washable.

Xtreme Comforts Shredded Memory Foam Pillow

I used to always sleep with two regular pillows, but just one of these has been perfect every night. Stays pretty cool and is extremely comfortable. Its softer than straight memory foam but still has a lot of support.

I found it on Wirecutter so see their review for more in depth: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-bed-pillows/

I’m here to save the day! I bought one of these a year ago and now I honestly can’t imagine sleeping without it. Absolute game changer for my sleep

If anyone wants to get one, here's a link.

Isn't this good enough?

Or maybe this one?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XK9CXSA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DxJ-AbJDGC175

I bought a ton of pillowcases. You can get a pack like that, keep them in your night stand. Change it, sleep, flip the pillow, sleep, change it again and repeat. Much much easier. ☺️

You can get a dozen for $23: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XK9CXSA/

I recently got this one. The marketing for it says it's good for side and stomach sleepers. I've only had it for a week but it's been fantastic. As an added bonus, it seems to have helped with my mild sleep apnea, too. I have no hard evidence for this, it's only anecdotal, but I seem to be sleeping a lot more soundly and breathing better at night. I have no idea how long the pillow will last so I don't think I can say it's BIFL right now. We'll see how it holds up.

Here's an intex one for $38. However! If your friendly neighborhood Kmart or Sears is closing, it's worth a look there. My hometown Kmart is, and I snagged a REALLY nice Coleman cooler for pretty cheap.

So I know how you feel, im 6'3" 375 and i hate sleeping on the ground all together.

With that said, I hope price isnt too much of an issue.


I started with a double tall air matress from some generic company. Its just to offer the buffer between me and the floor.

The winner is this guy, who makes it feel like your laying on the most comfy home bed ever... When your done, use it a home on top of your mattress, but I bought mine just for camping first.


All totaled its around $200, but you will love sleeping in it for sure.

I've used this one out there for a few years. It has a built in pump, but believe it can also be pumped up with an external battery powered pump.

You could also plug it in to your vehicle or a friends vehicle with a power inverter to pump it up.

sure! Utopia Bedding- 12 Pillowcases -... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00XK9CXSA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share i’m in Canada though so if you’re somewhere else just search “utopia bedding 12 pack” and it should show up :)

If your girl squirts whether she likes it or not please invest in an excellent mattress cover. like this one from Amazon. it makes everything easier.

Or these.

I was looking at this

I was in the exact same boat! The snoogle helped a lot, but what really helped me the most was getting a memory foam mattress topper (I got this one http://www.amazon.com/Density-Elastic-Memory-Foam-Mattress/dp/B004AR5X92). No more hip pain at night!

Is this okay?

This website charges a 20% markup from the sites it sources its products from. In this case, it's about $100 on Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010BBN7M

Which is still a ton for a pillow.

In addition to the others here who mention posture extends to lying, I'd also mention blood flow. When I get migraines and reach the postdrome phase, there's a period where if I bend over I get stabbing pains straight through the top of my head.

It's very possible the change in blood flow from lying down may be exacerbating your migraine. Do you have a recliner chair that you could lay in to keep your head above your body to test (or a large enough bean bag chair). Or a sitting pillow (like this).

Comfort-U Total Body support pillow FTFY

Hey OP, I just went through this earlier in the year. I was also told never to buy a used mattress, so I scoured the web in search of the cheapest new mattress and bedframe that I could find. I managed to find this mattress + foundation combo for under $400. These are also both online, so you don't have to worry about delivery.

6in queen-size memory foam mattress from Wal-mart - $219

Queen size mattress foundation from Amazon - $134 + $5.54 shipping

I've been sleeping on this combination for the past couple months too, so I can vouch for their quality. I spent a lot of time online figuring this out and this is the best combination I found for myself. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have, I hope these suggestions are useful.

P.S. I also recommend buying a mattress protector (this is the one I bought) so that your new mattress as well as all your future queen-size mattresses will be protected from spills and guaranteed to last as long as possible.

Ha, well, the first one I really liked was Italian army surplus that had been mothballed in a limited lot for years, perhaps decades. Pretty soft, pretty durable: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CX8U1CE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The most recent one is very soft, not yet sure how durable, had it a year, no wear, no outside use (which was the biggest benefit I thought of my parents'): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D1AJVHY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have one more that is older than the Italian army, it's probably the roughest, it's endured outdoor usage and indoor. It's a little scratchy, but nothing like my parents' Vietnam stuff. Unfortunately I don't remember where I got it. EBay maybe, at least 5 years ago, possibly more like 10-15.

I had one other that got lost in a move. It was pretty durable, but again, fairly rough, and no idea where it came from.

Memory foam mattress topper! Cheap and will change your life.

It is pretty awesome isn't it! It's actually a throw blanket/ tapestry however I purchase it off of Amazon. Here is the link!

So you’ve got a few things to look at here. A lot of this may have already been mentioned but there’s a way to effectively live out of your car!

• The biggest problem Ive ran into was being able to sleep in the car comfortably without having to worry about being groggy the next day. If you don’t have tint in your cars, I recommend having shades. This helps to limit suspicious people looking in on you and helps to block out the light from nearby. But I’d recommend getting this mattress for your car: http://www.amazon.com/Car-Travel-Inflatable-Mattress-Parent-child/dp/B00AUP7O1I
  
  
• Have a laptop with good battery life and have headphones. Hearing noises throughout the night while in the car can really be annoying, but it’s also important to be alert. Because you’re living in your car, you don’t want to fall victim of a mugging.
  
  
• When it comes to places to sleep, i’ve personally found that hotel parking lots usually are the better choices. Places that are 24 hours are definitely your Go-To because you want that constant availability for security and in case of an emergency (you always want to have someone nearby).
  
  
• As mentioned, a Gym membership is also one of the most important things to have. Hygiene will be extremely important and having a gym membership allows you to have a place to workout in, use Wi-Fi at, take showers, etc. You can even use the parking lot here and use those bathrooms if you ever need to go throughout the night.
  
  
• PO Boxes can be handy but make sure you do have a valid address on your drivers license. If you’re ever stopped by the police, you’re best not to try and bullshit with them and be honest. If you’re resting on a private establishment, tell them you’ll be on your way.
  
  
• Food becomes the next thing. If you have a solar charger available or a wall outlet, a Slow Cooker (Crockpot) or Rice cooker can be one of the most beneficial appliances to have around. Keeping a cooler in your car with some important items is definitely necessary. Water is good to have, but natural fruit juices are actually a bit better for you here.
  
  
• You’re going to have some free time on your hands, so a part time job may be your next best option. I usually try to position the jobs so you do have some time to yourself. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
  
  
• Get your learning on with your time you have. Laundromats are pretty beneficial, but I haven’t really encountered those with Wi-Fi. McDonalds or your Gym are pretty good for Wi-Fi usage, but there’s a lot of things you can actually do offline. If you’re using a Mac or Safari, save articles to your Reading list for some offline reading, or download some informational videos. iTunes U is extremely good if you’re wanting to learn some new subjects. If you’re able to use a Wi-Fi network without any issues, check out sites like Codecademy to really boost your skills.
  
  
• Remain positive always. Meditating is really good for helping to clear your mind. There’s a good post here on how to effectively meditate if you’re relatively new to it. Using sites like Facebook can get quite depressing seeing the crap that’s posted, so I’d stay away from there.
  
  
• Stay Safe. It’s easier said than done in some areas. While it’s cheaper to live in your car, it’s risky and you’re going to encounter some obstacles. This should only be done short term until you can manage to get an awesome apartment for quite cheap!
  
  
  That’s about it for the tips that I can think of right off the bat. A good subreddit I stumbled across after going through this (and mentioned here a few times) is /r/vandwellers. If I think of anything else, i’ll edit them right in here! Hope this helps and good luck out there.

I don't know what kinds of activities you do but I make jewelry, sew, and do old school photography methods that require a decent amount of equipment and I brought everything but my sewing machine (which I only left with my mom because I didn't think I'd be near an electrical outlet enough to justify bringing it lol), and gog has a suitcase of books we affectionately called the "library". So all of our hobbies, plus our clothes, cooking equiptment, food (perishable in a cooler and nonperishable in a sturdy canvas bag), 8 gallons of water, our bed, and other random stuff I'm neglecting to think of fit pretty comfortably in the caravan. I'd be happy to send you photos of our setup to give you a better sense of it if you want.
also, if you're thinking of going in a car you should check out things like this... http://www.amazon.com/Car-Travel-Inflatable-Mattress-Parent-child/dp/B00AUP7O1I
someone showed it to me awhile back and I thought it was kind of brilliant.
Also, roadtrippers.com is a great way to find things to see or do. ( For those of you looking at all my replies I swear I don't work for roadtrippers.com, I only keep mentioning it because I have found the app and the website to be super useful) Or google "weird things to see in (or along) insert town or highway here"

I purchased a cheapo $10 neck pillow that snaps in the front so it'll keep in place. I am very curious about [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Trtl-Pillow-Scientifically-Support-Washable/dp/B00LB7REFK/ref=zg_bs_3732121_2/155-2294129-2666707)
Seems like it wouldn't be comfortable but it has a lot of good reviews.

I see you like Harry Potter. I am a fan of this throw. Or you could get the Marauder's Map! This is also really cool. You need.

I love Harry Potter collectibles. I'm in the process of acquiring all the Horcruxes right now.

If I win I really need a new pillow. It's $1.50 over, so a giftcard towards it would be amazing.

Thank you for the contest and I hope you feel better soon!

Also I just saw you're from Michigan as well! Rad. Are you thinking of going to the meet-up?

I go to Disney World (cliche, but I've only been once, and my girlfriend and kid are dying to go), staying in one of their cheaper hotels but still on the park grounds. I'm bringing this neck pillow because even two hour flights deserve comfort.

Taking my girlfriend and son (obviously), and possibly my best friend and his ladyfriend.

Wouldn't this mean that all mammals prefer to sleep under blankets? And why is this only when we sleep? Wouldn't we want to constantly wear blankets? ... A la The Snuggie?

I use this one: http://www.amazon.com/Intex-Raised-Airbed-Built--Electric/dp/B000M0MJU2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1464031886&sr=8-2&keywords=intex+air+mattress

This one is good too: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G7H793G/ref=ice_ac_a_t_dpn?ie=UTF8&qid=1464031886&sr=8-1-ac&keywords=intex+air+mattress

The first one has been to burning man and a few other festivals and still gets nice and firm. You need an inverter to inflate it (it uses a regular wall plug).

I have to go to physical therapy because of my shoulders/neck due to chronic muscle pain and my PT recommended I buy the lumbar support below. Not only does it take strain off of my lower back but it really helps decrease the tension in my shoulders and neck since it helps correct my posture. I don't wrap it around the chair, I just put it within the lordosis of my lumbars and am good to go. I also

I also invested in this book stand because I found that looking directly down at the table was also contributing to my pain

The real doll is a little out there I'll give you that. But what is devious about body pillows? Tell me THIS doesn't look comfortable

I'd have to go out and buy a robe. Can I join if I bring potato salad?

This is what I got...solely based on the fact that it was available for same-day delivery. LOL The price was right, though, too. It's very comfy and fluffy but firm enough to be supportive.

I’m in Canada so depends where you are. I just went by reviews: 12 Pillowcases - Queen White – Brushed Microfiber - Maximum Softness - Elegant Double-Stitched Tailoring - Reduces Allergies and Respiratory Irritation - Set of Dozen Pillowcases - by Utopia Bedding https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00XK9CXSA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WyCCCbZXQ7PW7

If you look at the images from the customer reviews, you can see how cheaply the pillow is made. They showcase a lumpy, loosely filled pillow, stating their issues with the thin fabric, poor stitching and overall poor QC. It is unfortunately a cheap and generic Chinese pillow, not that all Chinese pillows are bad. They tend to be cheap because they use thin fabrics and a coarse fill that would initially fill out the pillow without adding too much weight. But, after vacuum packing and shipping, it doesn't usually fluff back to full size because of the relatively small amount of fill. It's easier to make and import pillows that are lightweight.

Considering your budget, you can do better by grabbing yourself the COMODO CMD9900LS - Amazon Link (sold by GIFU SEINOU TRADING)

It's a well-known brand from Japan. Though at 160cm, 150cm cases can fit on it with relatively no issue, assuming that's the size of case you have. The pillow won't stretch the case so much as it will be soft enough to squeeze into it. It'll only give a slightly firmer, fuller feel to the pillow. Though some express concern it may increase the chance of damage to the case, I find it negligible enough with COMODO's pillows. With a more expensive pillow like A&J's DHR6000, it may be an issue as they are filled more generously.

If it does concern you, they do have 150cm variants, the CMD9150 and the CMD9950MS (higher quality). I didn't mention those first because they're not available now from the the seller mentioned above. You can contact the Amazon seller to see if and when they'll import more.

Otherwise you can purchase an empty case and fill it yourself, such as this one specifically design to be an inner case by dakimakuri - dakimakuri Link. If you take the time to properly fill it, the end product would be better than the pillow you were originally looking at.

The difference between a good and bad inner is like day and night, as seen in this recent post on this reddit- Reddit link

The left one is just a regular western body pillow, so several inches shorter, but the Chinese one would be similarly flat. The right one is a CMD9150. The cover is fitted snuggly onto the inner. The cover should not wrinkle much when holding it.

Look at the following:

• Cuddly Octopus
  
• Peroperopiroo
  
• Dakimakuri
  
  These sites have the "real" daki's with an english interface. They are printed on chinese 2WT so they will be the cheapest options you have avaliable. I only recommend Japanese pillows which are not cheap by any means, this guide goes over different pillows on the market but if you are looking for a cheap option you would want to go with either this or go with a DIY solution using something like this.
  
  You need to keep in mind that this is a Japanese niche hobby and so you don't have an abundance of english sites. It also does not function the same way you might be used to in terms of avaliability for most Japanese covers as they are usually one print run and done.
  
  Also, in this context terms like cheap are relative and therefore useless because to one person $20 is cheap where as for another $200 is. If you have a budget, post it so that we can actually get an idea of what you can afford to get. Lurk for 2 years before posting.

I have this one and I really love it. It's big and fluffy and has held up well over my use so far. It has a zip off cover that can be washed. I like not having to move anything when I roll over, because moving myself is more than enough effort. It's large though, we have a king size bed and it takes up almost my full half of the bed.

It's going to be tricky to fit a double bed in that small room, but it can probably be done if you're willing to replace the closet doors. It'll still be a tight squeeze though, and the room will be crowded. I don't think it'll be possible to fit in both a decent sized desk and extra seating.

For the bed, look for something with storage; a platform with drawers and maybe a bookcase-type headboard would give you quite a bit. If you like to read or lounge around on the bed, get a bed rest.

Because the room will be crowded and because you've said it's too dark, a glass desk would be ideal. Try a set-up similar to this one, but measure carefully to make sure you get a desk that will fit into the corner where your bed is now.

For a bit more storage and a place to put a bedside lamp, here's a mostly transparent nightstand.

For lighting, look for lamps that have a shade in a light color. For next to the bed, this one or this one would be good. Get another lamp to sit on the cabinet under the windows. It looks like it's not very wide, so a thin lamp would work well. All of these lamps will take at least a 100W bulb and the glass in the room will help reflect the light. You'll also need a desk lamp.

Here's a floorplan, and as you can see, the bed is taking up most of the space. I'm wondering if the bed will fit on that wall though, because there's a tall white thing? on that wall between the desk and the bookcase and I can't tell if it's built-in or not. I'm assuming it's not since you didn't include that in your measurements, but if it is, I don't think the bed can go on that wall.

Is anyone familiar enough with Comodo products to comment on the authenticity of https://www.amazon.com/COMODO-Original-CMD9950MS-High-End-Dakimakura/dp/B07DFJWW86/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541323981&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=comodo&dpPl=1&dpID=215CcUlwQDL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1? It sure looks legit. My understanding is that this is closer to the dhr 7000 than 6000, and the price is fantastic. Now that I have a few covers it wouldn’t be so bad to have two pillows...

I take my McKenzie Roll to all freelance gigs. While it does have lumbar support, it’s also a constant reminder to have shoulders back and chest open. I also recommend installing a Chrome Extension that reminds you to do 20/20/20. Also just making sure you get up, stay hydrated, and get some exercise will help.

These are general flight comfort tips, but I think comfort is even more important while you are pregnant! I have a lot of experience with long flights.

In addition to your compression socks, wear very comfortable clothing and layers so you can adjust your temperature. Bring earplugs/noise cancelling headphones and a face mask for napping and quiet time. Ask for an extra pillow to support your lower back.

I'd check out the Trtl travel pillow too, great for longer economy flights. Those chairs really do not recline very far. https://www.amazon.com/Trtl-Pillow-Scientifically-Support-Washable/dp/B00LB7REFK/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_201_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RDSYTYWDB50C3V7FHA30

Bring way more water and snacks than you think you will need, and drink a ton of water. Really easy to get dehydrated on long flights. Bring lip balm.

Assuming you are making a significant time zone change it really helps minimize jet lag misery to start gradually adjusting to the new time in the week before you travel. If you are going east get up earlier every each day the week before travel, west stay up later and sleep in later if you can. Take Unisom to help you get yo sleep on the plane (usually I would take half a prescription sleeping pill, but not doing so while pregnant. Unisom is pregnancy safe).

Might be worth looking up some basic hip and leg stretches you can do while in your seat too.

Here's a link to the exact one I got from Amazon :)

Pour les oreillers, je te conseille un oreiller en latex/à mémoire de forme (c'est important pour soutenir la nuque) . Pour dormir sur le côté, tu peux aussi investir dans un traversin ou un giga oreiller en U. Comme celui ci https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013RV0JGI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_48GTAbGZVD9RX

C'est important de soutenir le genoux qui est au dessus quand tu dors sur le côté parce que ça va maintenir ta colonne vertébrale bien droite. Il y a plein de "Knee pillow" dispo si tu veux check.

I have an Army/Navy store in town, but Amazon has them.

I got this one - it's pricey, but I love it. I do usually wake up a little bit when I turn from side to side, but I'm so glad I don't have to worry about moving it with me when I turn because then I think I'd have to wake up fully to turn over. I use it the opposite way that it's shown in the picture because I want to put my head on my own pillow.

you're welcome

This back thingy to improve my horrible posture at work


This tshirt

This neck pillow for my Paris trip in October

Try a pillow like this:

Moonlight Slumber - Comfort U Total Body Support Pillow - White (Full Size) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010BBN7M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_aeLXCbYD2NQDG

It’s like sleeping in a cozy nest. Maybe being supported on both sides of your body will help you to feel more secure.

You're going to buy this. Because I said so. And because That item looks mighty fine.

That item looks mighty fine.

This looks comfy.

Back in the day (70s/80s) these were everywhere. I had no idea what they were called, but they still do exist:

https://smile.amazon.com/Linenspa-Shredded-Foam-Reading-Pillow/dp/B0117SNG0O/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1527105086&sr=8-5&keywords=pillow+bed+arms

It looks lame, but trust me, you'll be happy you got one.

If you have an Iphone 4 or 4S

A little big, but can store a lot

For when friends come over

Because sometimes you need to take a break

For whipping up healthy drinks

The obvious accessory to most college dorms

Retractable extension cord

A little expensive, but c'mon...

Make lots of friends in the most childish way possible

And finally, the most important thing of all...

Would you like a falafel with that?

Back in 2014 I needed a really cheap bed really quick so I ordered this bed and mattress topper from Amazon Prime.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005A4OP8Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AR5X92/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on. I now have it in one of my guest rooms and most of my family and friends prefer to sleep in the room with that bed! So I would highly recommend those products.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AR5X92/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had this topper on my mattress for years and it was excellent. But in general you want something foam. The thicker you go the better it’ll be at quieting the sound.

The only hard part about these is that it makes getting out of bed difficult. On the plus side, they help keep my arm from going to sleep when cuddling since my arms isn’t pinched when a girl lays on my arm.

You can go with other toppers. But this is what I used.

I bought this and it's really helpful for getting comfortable. Hubby and I have a queen bed and both fit just fine even with the giant pillow. It's not hard to get out of the bed either, I just flip the leg of the pillow up to hop out rather than climb over it.

I still end up waking up on my back about half the time (something I have always done and I have no conscious knowledge of turning over in the night), but it definitely helps me at least fall asleep on my side. I'm usually a stomach sleeper and had a horrible time trying to sleep before getting my pillow!

Edited to add: It looks like that particular pillow is out of stock on Amazon right now, but there are similar ones from other companies, and I'm sure other places probably carry it.

When I did it, I went for a log pillow.

And you know what? That log pillow is awesome.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BT17XS6

This is my super budget setup because I like sleeping on the floor.

The bottom http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EEMH3Q
Memory foam topper http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AR5X92

I got this one. Crazy expensive, but OMG! SOOOOO comfy!!!! I like all the positions you can put it in compared to some of the other brands. It's also soft enough that it doesn't cause pressure points to form. It is big though. If you have an SO, you will need a kings size mattress to fit this pillow, you, and a second person. Again, worth it. Used to wake up barely able to move from hip and knee pain, and my arms would always be numb. Not any more :-)

Also, I got a memory foam mattress a few years ago, and that reduced my pain and fatigue by about half. Comfort Dreams from Overstock.com, and a metal memory foam specific frame on Amazon. I am sure it has paid for itself in all the pain meds I was able to reduce.

Good luck :-) and air hugs!

I got one of these and haven't had this problem since. It has something to do with sleeping on your left side so you don't block a nerve:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B013RV0JGI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

The only times I've woken up with screaming cramps is if I am not using the pillow to keep my legs separated and my hips aligned. It helps a lot.

I recently was intrigued by the trtl pillow, although I haven't tried it yet. linky

Currently I have this one and I like it because it's super compact, but I'm not sure how effective it is for sleeping on coach.

The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll by OPTP - Standard Density (701) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H48WYA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_sycFyb1HYZ1EJ

I use the firm density and I can take it in the house/office and use it there too. Been using it for 2 years and I love it.

piggybacking off of this, fresh pillowcases helped me a lot too! I ended up ordering these for a dozen for around $2/pillowcase on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Car-Travel-Inflatable-Mattress-Parent-child/dp/B00AUP7O1I

Let's say if I were to copy a product from someone else, will I get sued for it?

For example if I were to mass produce something like this item but change a little bit of the design to not make it look exactly like the originals, will I get sued for copyrights infringments or other kinds of lawsuits such as counterfeit or copyrights issues?

Do I have to invent my own item to sell or can I get my products from the original place that sells it and then sell it on Amazon?

https://www.amazon.com/Trtl-Pillow-Scientifically-Support-Washable/dp/B00LB7REFK/ref=pd_sim_201_38?ie=UTF8&dpID=51s4MvKp2QL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=GZ1Q5405MN9QHQKHF79J

I'm looking to replace my inner and found these two on Amazon.

1. COMODO Original High Class Body Pillow CMD9000 Dakimakura Pillow for Anime and Maternity [Made in Japan] (63 x 20 inch (160cm x 50cm))
   
   
2. COMODO Original Luxury Body Pillow CMD9900LS High-End Class Dakimakura Pillow [Made in Japan] (20 x 63 inch (160cm x 50cm))
   
   First, is there any difference in these two that makes one $10 more? Second, does anyone know how these compare to something like a DHR6000 or one of the inners that are often recommended?

I’m a huge fan of this neck supporter, really reduces strain on long flights:

Wet wipes! Getting up to go wash your face is hard so just having those handy was nice as I felt gross and sweaty.

Lots of other great lists on here, but my other thing is, I got one of those pillows with the arm rests - that thing was GOLD

https://www.amazon.com/Brentwood-Originals-Brushed-Twill-Bedrest/dp/B002S0NJNK

Gotcha! Hmmm...

Maybe this

or this

or this???

:)

Ohhhh man, I feel ya on the finals! The struggle. Is. REAL. I'm also a final semester senior right now and I have a full blown case of the senioritis right now. GUH, I don't wanna do anything! I just wanna graduate already, enjoy my summer, and start grad school, dangit!

Today I've been cooped up in a lab all day. I got about five hours of sleep, so I'm feeling kinda weird and out of it. My only subjects today are three hours apart too, so my plan was initially work on homework that's due tomorrow, but who am I kidding? I've been in the lab watching SNL on Hulu and checking up on RAOA. =) After my actual research meeting today, I plan on trying to be a bit more productive with my schoolwork, and hopefully cleaning up my room a bit, too. Yeahhhh today's one of those super boring Mondays...X) Sorry I don't have anything more exciting to tell you about today, haha!

For stuff that will help you with your revision I suggest these items: a comfy reading cushion so you can work anywhere and still be comfortable! This lap desk also so you can work anywhere and be comfy- also it gives you a nicer surface for writing or for your laptop. I actually have this lap desk and I love it! I have a 15" laptop, and I still have room on the desk for my mouse. This lap desk could also be used for gaming anywhere with your laptop (that's what I do quite often)! ;D

For revision breaks, I simply suggest going outside! Nothing is more refreshing than nature, my friend. Take a walk, go on a bike ride, just sit outside and read- whatever floats your boat! =D I tried looking on Amazon for some outdoorsy accessories for you, but it's really all personal preference on what sort of outdoor activities you like to do!

As for my wishlist, I'd really like this water bottle for my bike, but I'm honestly fine with anything on my wishlist in your range, so feel free to surprise me if I happen to win!

Who needs revision?! Thank you so much for this contest! And good luck with studying, revising, and of course, on your finals!

someone already did that

I have a snoogle and it was the move comfortable thing ever the first night I used it. I actually came home EXCITED to go to bed!

Then the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th nights it was a NIGHTMARE. I was waking up every 40 minutes uncomfortable.

I put it away, using my normal costco body pillow right now but may try the snoogle again later on. I want to look into this one or one like it

http://www.amazon.com/Shaped-Premium-Contoured-Pregnancy-Maternity-Zippered/dp/B00K6K4SOS

The snoogle is a weird shape that makes flipping over difficult, as Im a flipper.

It's like an affordable prototype of these types of pillows.

https://www.amazon.com/Density-Elastic-Memory-Foam-Mattress/dp/B004AR5X92/ref=sr_1_10?s=bedbath&ie=UTF8&qid=1473273805&sr=1-10&keywords=memory+foam+mattress+topper

What kind of topper do you have? Memory foam density matters quite a bit. The one i linked is the one I have, and the 4lb density foam is amazing. I think you can also find the 5lb density on amazon as well, and it'll prob feel like a cloud that u sink into like quicksand.

I got this recliner cushion from Amazon and never regretted it for an instant: https://www.amazon.com/LINENSPA-Shredded-Foam-Reading-Pillow/dp/B0117SNG0O/ I did need an extra pillow or two to help, but that thing is seriously comfortable for having to sleep upright/reclined. Kind of pricey but SO worth sleeping in comfort.

I also got a lap tray to put my food/drinks/laptop on while in bed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017T39EEI/

Before you shell out a lot of money, try adding a lumbar roll to your current chair - something like https://www.amazon.com/OPTP-Original-McKenzie%C2%AE-Lumbar-Roll/dp/B000H48WYA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1473945712&sr=8-1&keywords=back+support+roll. I used to have bad back pain and tried a variety of crazy chairs, and funny enough, adding this to the most basic office chair is usually the best solution for me. Just adding a little support/pressure in the right place can make a huge difference in your comfort.

This this this:

https://www.amazon.com/Original-McKenzie-Lumbar-Roll-OPTP/dp/B000H48WYA

they have them in different shapes and thicknesses, find what's most comfortable for you. with amazaon especially you can always return it and try a different one. has helped me a lot

I have this one (shredded memory foam, good for side sleepers) and I really like it! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V909F1K?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=AwEAAAAAAAAAAT0l

The snoogle is just ok (but I realize I'm in the minority camp on this). Kinda pricey for the quality of pillow and really hurts my neck. I switch between a 3-pillow stack up to sleep on my back partially sitting up, and sleeping on my side with a pillow between my knees and sometimes the snoogle at the end of the bed for knee/back/hip support. I. CAN'T. GET. COMFORTABLE. Here are my other pillows: 1. Is the favorite pillow from the Sweethome:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V909F1K/?tag=thesweethome-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=AgEAAAAAAAAAAClEAAAAABYodGwAAAAAWR9TAg

This nightie from the GAP is also great and keeping me cool. http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1067927&vid=1&pid=422176042

> Other overhead includes a decent-sized warehouse that probably runs them $50K annual including utilities, and quite likely a truck or two.

They could potentially just send everything into FBA with no quality control, correct?

On top of Amazon's 15% commission, what does an average order look like for a Prime-shipped FBA'd item?

https://www.amazon.com/LUCID-Hypoallergenic-Waterproof-Mattress-Protector/dp/B00A2G9VFM

The seller gets that item manufactured in China

They ship it overseas right into an FBA warehouse

They have to pay the... $7-$10 shipping fee to ship it to a customer, no? $17 - $7 is $10. 15% Amazon fee: $8.50. The cost of the product has to be in the ball park of $3. $5.50. How much do storage fees cost? What about import tariffs, etc.?

You seem very knowledgable on this topic. Are you an FBA seller?

http://www.amazon.com/Shaped-Premium-Contoured-Pregnancy-Maternity-Zippered/dp/B00K6K4SOS

Use one of these when you have to sit for a long time. Also get this book in case the PTs you saw didn't show you this exercise.

Swimming is the best thing you can do for a bad back.

Ginger is a powerful antiinflammatory and it is a lot easier on your system than ibuprofen.

I realize many of these things might be too weak for your pain, but they are all worth a try.

If CBD oil capsules don't work for you see an MD familiar with CBD to see if they can get you some of the more potent products that are available to only MDs.

First of all, if you drive a lot, a McKenzie roll http://www.amazon.com/Original-McKenzie-Lumbar-Roll-OPTP/dp/B000H48WYA?th=1 for your car seat helps a lot. If you're like me and like the seat way back, you need to move it up closer so you're sitting pretty much straight up. One of the sciatica symptoms is if you almost cry getting out of the car, you've got it. The exercises I did were:lying on my stomach on the floor, slowly push up with your arms and arch your back, then slowly back down (should take 20-30 seconds per rep) 15 reps. Then lying on my back with feet in the air (like an L shape) slowly raise your bottom and lower back off the floor. Don't really engage your abs, just try to stretch your lower back. These were recommended to me by a massage therapist friend (after a massage, which might help), I am in no way an authorized medical advice dispenser. Sitting on a medicine ball (instead of a chair at my computer) helped a lot too.

It took about a month to get it better, but I swear, if I had had to live with that pain all my life I would have seriously considered something horrible. The pain is excruciating. It took some time to get that bad so get going on fixing whatever it is sooner rather than later. Good luck.

I use this pillow and it stays very cool. It can be a little weird to use at first since you have to shape it how you want but once you get it right it stays that way and it’s very comfortable. I like having different types of pillows so I got the thin and the normal ones. Thin are better if you like to sleep on your back or front, normal are pretty thick but good for side sleeping and propping yourself up to watch a movie or something.

Here is one like the circular one: 3D Tree Wood Slice Memory Foam Cushion Pillow Doll Seat Pad Home Decor USA Seller https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01GGMWYM2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_b8GZCbX2DZT5S

Here is one like the log: Kikkerland Log Micro Bead Head Cushion https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B005SVZ02O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_H9GZCb5G2HA47

I guess it depends on how you sleep.

I'm also looking at this, this, and this.

https://www.amazon.com/Snuggie-Original-Fleece-Blanket-Blue/dp/B004C05H8Y (but with logos badly sewn on).

if you want to just listen in bed, sure why not. You can prop up some pillows or use one of these

Sleeping with any headphones is not a good idea, but I guess wearing headphones in bed isn't a new idea because products like these have been around for a long time. Today's equivalent is something like this.

Personally, I'm not a fan of wearing headphones in bed. Maybe if you don't want to wake your significant other when you are watching something on TV after they are asleep.

I am a first time buyer and just pre-ordered Maidoll's Reika cover https://maidoll.booth.pm/items/1215934

​

I have been doing some research on an inner pillow and came up with three options:

1. COMODO CMD9900LS: https://www.amazon.com/COMODO-Original-CMD9900LS-High-End-Dakimakura/dp/B07DFJWW86/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1550005417&sr=8-1&keywords=CMD9900LS
   
2. dakimakuri pre-order https://dakimakuri.com/shop/item/inner
   
3. DHR6000 (anyone know if this is legit?) https://www.amazon.com/Dakimakura-body-pillow-original-DHR6000/dp/B00CFG0B3I/ref=sr_1_6?s=bedbath&ie=UTF8&qid=1550007371&sr=1-6&keywords=dakimakura
   
   Does anyone have any recommendations among the 3? Especially as something starting off, the DHR6000 at $170 feels pretty steep. I was thinking of starting off with a mid-range pillow and upgrading eventually if I felt like it. Any comments is greatly appreciated!

It's expensive but I've got a giant U-shaped body pillow. It's generally marketed at pregnant women, but as a side sleeper it's been a life saver. If you do end up getting one, I strongly suggest cutting a slit up the middle of the U and putting a fabric gusset in. If you don't, it'll eventually rip there anyway. Mine ended up tearing after a few months of use from my shoulder, but since I put the gusset in, it's perfect.

It's one of those ones with small arms on the side -- idk what they're actually called, but I've seen them on tv before and I've always wondered what they would be like. This isn't the one I got, but this is the concept: https://www.amazon.com/LINENSPA-Shredded-Foam-Reading-Pillow/dp/B0117SNG0O/ref=sr_1_1?s=bedbath&ie=UTF8&qid=1500406727&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=reading+pillow&psc=1

I got it as a gift for christmas last year, but I found it here on Amazon!

If you need others to inspire you to help people you were never going to help people in the first place. Homelessness is not a new problem, it does not require social media exposure: People who take these photos and post these stories want their pat on the back and told they are a good person.

Edit: Also have some self awareness when doing this type of thing: The homeless do not want personal care items, they can get those from any shelter/church. Want to get them something? Warm underwear/socks in a ziplock bag (thermal or wool), a bottle of water (canteens might seem nice but they will often wind up lost/stolen/throw out when they become a burden) and a good blanket.

All clothing items: Launder them first, when they first reach you they will be painful to wear, spend the time to clean them.

I got one of these stupid looking things

I'm off to Shanghai in a week!

This is the absolute best thing I ever bought.

Harbor Freight 80% wool blanket https://www.harborfreight.com/60-inch-x-80-inch-wool-blanket-92625.html, Ever Ready 80% wool blanket.

I splurged and got the biggest one- https://www.amazon.com/Shaped-Premium-Contoured-Pregnancy-Maternity-Zippered/dp/B00K6K4SOS/ref=lp_382727011_1_5_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1482080883&sr=1-5

But like I said, I've heard regular body pillows from Target or Walmart can also do the trick! :D

https://www.amazon.com/Northwest-Company-Hufflepuffs-Tapestry-60-Inch/dp/B00BT17XS6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1481570860&sr=8-6&keywords=harry+potter+tapestry

They have one for each house!

they make really tall ones that don't deflate as easily, like this one..

I like variety

Those foamy type blankets are very comfortable and make a good light weight blanket. I think they're called vellux and they have a kind of velvet texture.

then a good wool blanket, army surplus ones are the best. And there's an abundance of stuff on amazon.

Avoid anything made by rothco and avoid anything called disaster relief/first aid/rescue blankets or similar. Rothco products are grotesquely inferior, but it's kinda hard to mess up a blanket. Maybe they do ok. Judge for yourself.

However, the 'disaster blankets' are just disposable recycled compressed fibers and they degrade quickly. Only meant to keep people warm/comfort them for briefly when they have nothing else. They're commonly found in police crusiers and ambulances.

these are probably the best legit ones, but they are available under other listings from a variety of vendors. And there's a ton of options out there, the french and polish ones are pretty rugged and good for camping. Mexican style wool blankets are rad, but it's not as cool as going to Mexico and getting it yourself.

swiss

good ole murican milsurp, made for cuddling not outdoor adventures it's a literal safety blanket. I miss these things. Bear in mind it might be rank with fire retardant and first, so wash it with some woollite and it'll get all snuggly.

I don't know how small of a car you're working with, but I am over 6 feet tall and was able to make do in a Buick Century ('99 custom edition, no big deal). I just had a couple pillows, a fluffy comforter and a blanket which made things soft enough. Then I would sleep at a diagonal usually with my feet going into the front passenger seat, which was fully reclined. Sounds awkward, but I made it work. Honestly, the worst part was temperature control, but even that most nights wasn't too bad. I loved the convenience of just waking up and being ready to go.

Depending on the design of your car, you might be able to remove part of the backseat and sleep halfway into the trunk, but if you have a lot of gear with you that could get cumbersome I'd imagine.

I had seen this before and was intrigued, but I didn't know it existed until I no longer had a need for it. I'm not sure if it is worth the price tag.

I got this pillow: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K6K4SOS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I put another regular pillow underneath it because I like my head up high. For me, it's great.

We bought a soft top for our roof and a car adapter as well. We kept most of clothes and blankets in vacuum sealed bags so we could save room on the trip. Car adapter worked great for the mini electric air pumps, they also sucked out all the air from the vacuum seal bags. This looks for interesting and seems like it would be an ok idea.

Pack snacks. Hit up the grocery store for cheap meals. Make your own sandwiches. Grab a whole rotisserie chicken, some fruit, fresh veg and dip. Healthy meal on the go. And usually left overs for sandwiches the next day.

Also look into hostels or B & B's the off season it tends to be a lot cheaper. See if you can do a drop in swim or something at a recreational centre. Then you get access to showers as well. The drop in rate at the centres for near me for swim are $3.

Edit: first aid kit!

oh, and for posterity, i got this one

If your boyfriend sweats a lot, has he tried showering right before bed? He'll still sweat overnight, but it won't smell nearly as much if at all.

If your mattress already smells, this might be too late, but there's a reason for mattress protectors. Something cheap like this can do a lot to protect your mattress from long term stains and smells, you can always take it off and wash it:

FTFY:

Zinus 12" Queen Green Tea mattress, middle sagging after 6-8 months (did I get a bad mattress?)

Hello all. I suffer from a chronic sleep issue for over 10 years and also fibromyalgia like body pain and pressure points. Last December after finally being sick of the Sleep Number C2 queen I've had for a number of years, I extensively researched online and bought a Zinus 12" Green Tea Mattress, Queen (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EPSHI). At first, I had no complaints and it. However, within 6 months I definitely noticed that it's not kept it's firmness in the center middle and quickly sags in when I lay down for awhile.

I'm the exact opposite of what you'd call a heavy set person (Male 36, 5'11' and 74.8 kilograms) and am using the base of the old C2. If I move to the sides I can feel the firmness/support of what it originally was. I've even tried readded the 3" thick-4 pound foam topper I had bought for the Sleep Number (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AR5X92) to see if that would fix it, but it only pronounces it more.

I've been just dealing with it for the past few months but it's only getting worse I have to believe this isn't normal. I want to start a warranty claim with Zinus but I just cringe at having to go through all of this.

I'm just wondering, was I just unlucky and get a bad pick of a mattress? Had anyone else experienced this? Any and all comments & suggestions would be appreciated!

Load up your phone with your favorite media - podcasts, TV shows, movies. I like to use travel time to start a new show or to read a new book. Bring earplugs and an eye mask (the last 9 hour flight I was on never turned off the overhead lights once). Bring a portable charger or power bank. On your trip, don't be afraid to slow down, take a nap, or spend an hour drinking a cup of coffee at a cafe.

Wear comfortable clothing in the plane, especially shoes. Most museums and major attractions will give you the option to buy an online ticket and skip the lines - do this ahead of time! Then you won't have to wait in a super long ticket line before getting into the entry line.

Do your research and plan out what major attractions you have to see. Then be flexible in your plans and be prepared to make adjustments if something is closed or if it just doesn't work out.

This is the best neck pillow I have ever bought:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009416CVC/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1495001757&sr=8-13&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Neck+pillow

Another redditor recommended it and it is the only pillow I've tried that actually supports your neck. My boyfriend always tries to steal it from me.

So first off, I have several questions. I'm very new to this so I have no idea where to start. There's really only two covers I want to get: Saber Alter and Rin Tohsaka from Fate. I would love to find a nice Mordred cover, but I haven't found any that I like. I also know that that's how this starts and will likely buy more in the future. "I only want this or that and won't buy another". Damn myself for being such a materialist!

Anyways, I really like this one simply because it lines up with UFOtables look for Saber, (https://peroperopiroo.moe/shop/saber_alter_dogfucker.html) though I don't know which option to pick for the material. Is Chinese 2wt good to go with or should I upgrade? I will def. be going for the "family friendly" version.

​

As for the Rin Tohsaka one, (original: https://eveningcall.net/InformationDetail.aspx?NewsId=437 updated version: https://eveningcall.net/InformationDetail.aspx?NewsId=347) I've had my eye on one of these by Evening Call. They seem to be quite rare sadly, which is a shame as this artist is the only one I've seen do a Tohsaka design that I really like. All the others make her look way too young or don't get the style just right for my tastes. So any suggestions on finding this one would be greatly appreciated. I've been recommended some sites by a user already, but I figured I'd post here anyway. Thanks BTW, I'll keep an eye on those sites you suggested! u/DakimakuraGuy

For the inner pillow, should I just go with my gut and get one from Dakimakuri or should I go with this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DFJWW86/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A1WC95IIGIP2OA&psc=1 The reviews make me not want to buy it, but I saw that one user posted a fix to the slipping covers by placing an extra cover underneath the main one. I'm thinking the Dakimakuri, though there's no reviews for their inner pillows yet...

This is the one that I've been using for 3 years: LinenSpa 100% Waterproof Mattress Protector

Our female cat likes to pee on our bed whenever something bothers her, and this has been an utter lifesaver. We went from pulling our hair out every time it happened (wtf do you do with a pee-soaked mattress twice a day because your male kitten grew into a big bully who terrorizes the female ?) to just being able to rip this sheet off and throwing it in the washing machine. We also like to put another fitted sheet on top of it for comfort. This thing is seriously amazing - 3 years of continuous use, and not even a hint of pee smell gets through (and I have a sharptastic nose).

I could be a salesmen for these waterproof sheets. So awesome :D

She had an old one from a previous surgery but it was similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0117SNG0O/ref=mh_s9_acsd_top_bFert_c_x_1_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=mobile-hybrid-4&pf_rd_r=V3EBBVJKQPVYQ23FCFNG&pf_rd_t=30901&pf_rd_p=58a7c392-e187-580a-9995-afed7b4b7f90&pf_rd_i=3732021

As far as beds, we use a queen size air mattress with a 2 inch memory foam topper. This air mattress in particular.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000M0MJU2/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1450292185&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=air+mattress+queen&dpPl=1&dpID=414qKd0oTPL&ref=plSrch.

We are apartment hoppers who like to move out of state every year or two and it works for us. Not to mention it is the most comfortable mattress we have ever had.

It depends on what kind of sleeper you are. I'm generally a back sleeper - occasionally on my stomach if I'm tossing and turning, but I usually wake up on my back like a log.
I ended up buying [this one] (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K6K4SOS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) from amazon for back sleepers. It wedges me in really well. I often find that I have almost flipped to my back in the night, but even so i'm at like a 45 + degree angle to my side so I feel like it's ok, since I just fall onto the back part. I'm not far enough along that it's a huge issue yet - only 17+4 right now.

Edited to add: We have a king size bed and it fully takes up half of it (and I fit right in the middle). Hubby was a little pissed at first but then I gave him my normal pillow to use as a snuggle pillow so he's happy. Also our pup is very happy because he likes to sleep wedged between his snuggle pillow and my body pillow - he is a mini aussie and used to fall asleep with us on the bed but leave in the night because he'd get hot. Now he thinks he's snuggling us up but he doesn't get hot anymore! .... anyway moral of this paragraph is I don't recommend this one if you're in a queen size bed or smaller unless you have a partner who is totally fine with having less than half of the bed.

I bought these on prime day and they have helped me change my pillowcase more often!

You should also buy her one of these; no idea how she can be comfortable laying with the computer like that.

I just got a queen Zinus "Green Tea" memory foam bed. Currently $289 shipped on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EPSHI/

It is pretty firm. I actually ordered a 3" gel topper because of the firmness (you sleep on top rather than sinking into it), but that proved to be too squishy (the topper leaves an imprint of your body when you roll). I have a 2" topper on another bed & imo that is the right level of squish vs. firmness: (the bed is firm to the point where my side wasn't sinking in & was kind of being compressed instead, like when you lay on thin carpet when watching TV or something)

https://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Master-Memory-Topper-Queen/dp/B00FJNQBJ2/

Also, I picked up their awesome 18" tall frame:

https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-SmartBase-Foundation-Replacement-Noise-Free/dp/B017YETH8K/

TONS of storage space underneath, easy to setup (2 pieces that screw together & fold in half, lightweight & only requires one person to assemble...literally takes more time to unbox it than put it together), no noise in use, plus with the 12" Zinus bed, it's at a good height to walk up to & fall into bed. You will need a grip sheet underneath, otherwise the bed will slide off pretty easily:

https://www.amazon.com/TRU-Lite-Bedding-Slip-Mattress/dp/B01AS3HADS

I also recommend getting a waterproof sheet (goes underneath the regular sheets), as any spills will sink directly into the foam mattress & never, ever come out:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2G9VFM/

I got these Mellanni sheets - they are thin, but feel nice:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NLNDU00

Slightly better than the Amazon Basics sheets I have on another bed. I have a plastic bin underneath the bed for storing a spare set of sheets & waterproof sheet (both are washer/dryer-safe). Total comes up to under $600 shipped for a 12" memory foam bed, 2" gel topper, 18" metal bed frame, a non-skid pad for the frame, two sets of sheets, and two waterproof mattress sheets. I was going to get a Casper or Leesa, but those were like $800 just for the bed...I got all that for $200 less, still a pretty hefty investment, but a decent deal. Other than that, you just need some pillows & a duvet or blanket on the top.

The mattress comes vacuum-sealed in a box, so you just undo it from the packaging & let it air out for a day or two to fully decompress. The frame comes in a large but thin box (two frames folded in half with some assembly hardware). I didn't have to mooch a truck off a friend or go to a mattress store or anything...ordered it all off Amazon Prime, showed up in a couple days, put it all together by myself in minutes. Easy peasy. Would definitely order another one!

So I finally see Amazon US got a seller that offers prime shipping for their Comodo pillow - https://www.amazon.com/COMODO-Original-CMD9900LS-High-End-Dakimakura/dp/B07DFJWW86 instead of going through Zenmarket/Proxy...

Now, what difference between CMD9900LS and AJ DHR6000? I been snooping around this r/ and I see comments about the new DHR is no longer Japanese cottons and it oversea ones, is it worth buying it as suppose to CMD9900?
And lastly, I own a CMD9150, how do I re-fluff the mid-section of the pillow?


Thanks

I was in the same situation this year and ended up buying this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0034L4ABC/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

6 months later and the fabric is holding up great (no loose threads, or rubbed seams that tend to show up quickly in cheap bed sets). It looks even better in person than the photos. Subtle dragon theme, but that's kinda manly, right?
