Confessions of a modern man confronting so-called convenience:

I do not know of fitted sheets are worth bothering with since they suck to store. I really hate them except they do make it easier to keep them on a modern mattress.

But... Are modern mattresses good for you? Likely not.

Speaking of bedding, I know this is too long a time coming, but... I'm finally sleeping on 100% natural fiber bedding. Sheets are cotton. Pillow cases are silk. Blankets are wool. Pillows are cotton outer filled with goose feathers. (Down is too expensive at this time.)

Next confession:

I am struggling to "see" living without paper towels... 😅

I will NEVER give up lavish use of paper towels

The Beave 9mo ago

Until you can't get them anymore...

YODL 9mo ago

I honestly don't know why that might be, nor why you'd wanna stop using them in first place (for health reasons). I get they're wasteful compared to reusing rags or whatever, but anytime I've been at someone's who does that it's horrible

The Beave 9mo ago

When the world collapses and you can't get paper towels.

I think about that kind of thing daily. 🤣🤣🤣

YODL 9mo ago

Ah ok, yeah. Would suck. I'm a paper towel waster for sure. Wash my hands at sink, paper towel. Blow my nose in the morning, paper towel. My parents treated them like they cost a dollar a piece, so maybe this is me rebelling.

Only thoughtful thing I do, before you write me off completely, is sometimes I set the damp hand dryer ones aside for second use later.

The Beave 9mo ago

That would drive me nuts... 😁🤣🤣

I would like to get a wool mattress at some point.

Down comforter & pillows.

Cotton sheet set.

The Beave 9mo ago

I want to try actual linen for sheets some time.

Down comforters are so dang good.

A wool mattress! Yes!

kidwarp 9mo ago

I almost sprung for the linen sheet set but it was like $200 bucks more per set when I bought my new bed n shit…

The Beave 9mo ago

Yeah. They aren't cheap, for sure.

kidwarp 9mo ago

Yeah… just checked on the price and yeah still 200 bucks more lol…

Would be nice to try before ya buy for a 700+ sheet set lol

you can probably cut down on paper towels without totally cutting them out. It's more laundry though to wash all the towels.

Max DeMarco has a really good video about the benefits of conditioning yourself to sleeping on the floor. nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz
