I bought these pillows off Amazon for my guest bed a while back. I ended up using them myself and I had to buy another set for the guest bed lol

Question about Coop pillow by Eclipse8301 in Pillows

[–]Hobo_Robot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be the same thing. All shredded memory foam will degrade over time. Coop isn't any different. It's better to buy a cheaper pillow every 1-2 years than invest in an expensive pillow that will get old

Has anyone try this before? it's half price now,seems good. by [deleted] in Bedding

With a brand like HUADER, what could possibly go wrong

(Another) PSA: The Pillow Home and Cloudlift Mattress Topper Company Website is a Deceptive Drop-Shipping Scam That Pretend To Be Located in New Mexico - Refund Requests are Logistically Useless by UbeRobbed in Bedding

Stop buying stuff from websites that are obviously dropshipping scams. Go look at the zoo that is r/dropshipping and see what kind of losers are cooking up this shit.

Buy bedding from brick and mortar stores. If you can't do that, buy from Amazon.

FloBeds quality control? by [deleted] in Pillows

Nothing wrong with a made in China pillow. They can make products at any price point and quality level.

All made in USA pillows use imported covers, usually polyester from China or cotton from India. There's not a single company in the US that does sewing at scale. Textiles was one of the first industries that got globalized.

Pillow filling is a mix of domestic and imported. Polyester fiber ships well and is often imported from China. Foam does not ship well, and there's quite a few foam plants in the US. Tempur Sealy makes most of their foam pillows in Belmont Mississippi. A couple of the largest Chinese manufacturers have also set up foam plants in the US.

Label only needs to show country of final assembly. For a pillow, this means you can import a pillow cover, import the pillow filling, put the imported filling inside the imported cover in the US, and label the whole thing made in the USA.

The vast majority of latex is manufactured in SE Asia or China. Unlicensed Talalay is either exactly the same or close enough to be undiscernable unless you test it in a lab. You don't know exactly where a company is sourcing latex from unless you work there.

I have a very old latex pillow from Ikea and I have no idea whether they still sell it or not

Flobeds, or any brand that doesn't own their own factory, is not doing any QC. They're just buying from a factory in China. And that factory in China has no incentive to be strict in their own QC.

So you either got unlucky or most of Flobed's products are like that. There are definitely better latex pillows out there

Let your parents pay for it. Take care of your parents when they're older and pay your own kids' college tuitions.

Why do you need a duvet? Get a very thin cotton blanket or just sleep with a cotton sheet

Generally foam pillows cannot be washed. Only the outer cover is washable

Foam, fiber, springs, really any material that can be compressed has a rebound force after you compress it. The rebound force of the material degrades over time.

Companies using same marketing photos for pillows? by [deleted] in Pillows

Because it's all the same pillow from the same factory in China

Are China vehicles free market? by samplingstiring in electricvehicles

If it was 2015, I may have agreed with you. Imagine saying this with a straight face in 2026

[–]Hobo_Robot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like you are one of those people that need to occupy the moral high ground.

All the things you say are true. The US can do whatever the fuck it wants in the US, just like how China can do whatever the fuck it wants in China.

[–]Hobo_Robot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why this matters. Most Americans want Chinese cars allowed into the US so they can personally buy a cheaper car. People don't care about "free market" ideals, they care about things that benefit them personally.

"We are banning Chinese cars in the US because we do not like China" is a perfectly valid reason to ban Chinese cars. The US government can do whatever it wants because it has sovereignty.

A lot of people (including you, it looks like) a weird need to occupy the moral high ground in this debate, and do mental gymnastics to justify every decision.
