Listen asshat, if you want advice on the internet, you get advice. Don't read the advice and then berate the advisor. It wasn't the advice you wanted, but the advice you need to hear. If you want a BIFL bedframe, state your location, budget and desires and get answers to your question.

At this stage, you have gotten conflicting help on your choice so you cannot make an educated choice. Try using my advice. Or don't. Or continue being a asshat.

Why are you coming to the internet and asking about shoes that will last 2+ years when you literally posted a photo of shoes you liked and wore for 4 years? Seriously....get another pair of Adidas. Those look like some flavor of Sambas.

One does not break in sheets. You buy them, you use them, you wash them....at some point in the cycle they get softer. If you wanted soft sheets out of the box, you bought the wrong ones.

Stated another way:

Today you ask about a Tarva bed. So far, you've gotten 2 responses speaking to noise. One said noisy. One said not noisy. So you have not gotten the help you need.

Tomorrow you ask about the XXX bed since you've gotten no good help.

Repeat every day until your death.

That's not what the internet is for. State your location, budget and desires and get answers to your question. Or make an infinity of posts. Your call.

Your compressor choice should not be based on the name on the label. Point one is to ensure the flow keeps up with your tools as you don't want to take a smoke break while the tank refills. Next is choosing a quiet one. Hulk Power is a cheap maker of quiet compressors and once you go quiet, you'll never go back. Now if you plan on outside placement or sound proof enclosure, you should not care. But....quiet is the way to go. The orientation of the tank makes no difference.

Today, normal sheets are "measured" by thread count, so the thread count of these will likely NOT help you finding a twin. This applies to percale/sateen sheets. Other sheet types such as jersey, flannel, etc., are "measured" by material weight in GSM or Ounces, so if you know for sure its 240GSM via a label, you are best advised to find that via google.

I'm not Johnny Sheets, so the above may be a bit off.

Every office chair in the history of the world claims to be ergonomic, so remove that as a purchase factor from your brain. Serious...not being cute.

Herman Miller, Steelcase, Humanscale....there are others and the search engine will help you find them. Which one is right for you? No one can answer that as looks and budget and options play a role.

You are conclusion shopping, let's not do that. If you want pants:

  1. Use the search engine. We've spoken on this topic before.
  2. Sex. Mens and Womens pants are a thing and we have no idea.
  3. Cute/Colorful mean 9000 things to 2000 people, post a picture.
  4. Pants. Painters with hammer loops, Farmers with double denim knees, Pedal pushers, leggings....all various forms of pants.
  5. Budget. $2000 pants are a thing.

You will be ingesting pesticides your entire life as has man since the dawn of time. Your first logical breakdown is assuming that pesticide ingestion is bad. You eat apples right? They contain arsenic. Are you going to ozone them to remove the arsenic? No? Why not...its legit poison! You have to realize that the dose is the poison and you consuming on a daily basis, an infinitesimal amount of dirt, pesticides, rodent feces, hair and all manner of unsightly items cause no harm.

Next item up for bid is the massive influx of Tiktok and other videos that show these items "removing pesticides" via ghetto ultrasonic cleaning, ozone generation, both or other quackery. What about herbicides though? Fungicides? Insecticides? Fertilizers? We not caring about other chemicals in the farming process? Will these cleaners remove surface contaminants? Yes. Can you do the same thing for $0 with a rag and a 15 minute water bath? Yes. The results will be the same within one standard deviation.

Now if you want to get one of these just to make your feel better even though its an ignorant purchase, great....go on with your bad self. There's no harm in ignorant purchases, heck some love getting nitrogen fills in their tires. But do so with open eyes. And zero of these products have any run-time worth a damn for us to discuss in this subreddit.

You pretreat with the most convenient method for you. For some they like stain sticks, for some sprays. Best practice is to remove the item and grab your pretreatment which is right next to your laundry basket...spray collar and stains, then drop in basket. OxiClean MaxForce spray is the current Consumer Reports leader and there's a bottle right above my laundry basket.

You are in the wrong sub, this is BIFL where we speak to lifespan. Do you want the longest lifespan snow shovel or not? Best is subjective and you get opinions, which normally suck. Bent handle. Straight handle. Handle in the middle of the shaft. Narrow scoop. Wide scoop. Metal. Plastic. All have their pros and cons depending on if you are an 83 year old arthritis sufferer or a stong like bull 25 year old.

What you want does not exist as there is a broad brush of repair with no broad brush repair sub that I am aware of. Plus the topic is huge. There's wallpaper repair...that's a thing. Leather care and repair...that covers shoes, purses, watch bands and is a hugely broad topic. Plastic repair is about as huge. I can stitch a steering wheel cover or use hog nose pliers in my car or I can use the same tools/techniques with furniture. See how sideways things get? I'd recommend focusing on a tradecraft then ask the questions nicely, as you have done, in various related subs to find people/posts that may help.

How lovely of you to bite the hand that feeds you. I literally told you how to buy BIFL flannel sheets and yet you felt the need to be a cockbag and snipe me for my last sentence. I am drawing one line through your name on my Christmas Card List.

You are not interested in thick luxurious ones as those are not terms of purchase.

You are interested in the highest weight fabric you can find. Flannel weight is displayed in grams per square meter (GSM) or ounces. Get the heaviest ones you can find. This is the left hand of the Venn Diagram of Purchase.

Long Staple Cotton, Egyptian Cotton, Pima Cotton or Supima Cotton is the type of cotton you want. This is the right hand of the Venn Diagram of Purchase.

You may have to buy lighter weight Pima flannel sheets vs. heavier weight "cotton" sheets but such is life.

Now go to google and put in the work now that you know. And also know that while this advice is great...this is BIFL and flannel sheets are generally known as the shittiest sheets you can buy.

You are trying to step on a dime and get two nickels. This almost always means you step in dogshit instead. If you want great flannel sheets, you have two options:

  1. Buy some ding dong Eddie Bauer flannel sheets and go with a known good. Now everyone here is a grumpy boomer who will state that quality goes down, but they don't know, they just like to repeat that phrase.
  2. Ask for BIFL flannel sheets and post your pricepoint and don't shop your conclusions. Amazon and Kohls are retailers who sell 3,225 types of flannel sheets so mentioning their names obfuscates the issue as you need a specific brand and/or the metrics of purchase.

Metrics of purchase

Long staple cotton. Egyptian cotton. Supima cotton. Pima cotton. If you don't see any of these words on the package, keep walking. For the common man, those four terms mean the same thing.

GSM (Grams Per Square Meter) or in ounces per square yard is how flannel is sold. The best flannel sheet weights start at 160 GSM or 5 Ounces. Think the heavier the better/longer lasting, but weigh this against the warmth desired.
