A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

I tried all of the mattresses, and was surprised with what I found. The Latex ones weren't as comfortable for me as hybrid foam/coils. On a lot of beds, I could feel the lower firmer layers on my hips laying on my side. Latex felt so springy it was almost trying to roll me off the bed.
I guess my advice is to try in person however you can. I spent some time looking at naplab, but the scores range from 9.5 to 9.8 so they mattresses aren't even differentiated. In person, there were big differences that weren't captured in the scores, which try to be subjective but miss a lot.
