Flexsteel holds up and has sofa bed models but you’d have to decide if the cushions are too firm.

I wouldn’t expect designer brands to be made to last. The point of fashion hinges more on throwaway culture.

Agree - my Flexsteel couch and loveseat are 25+ years old. No cushion sagging or distortion of any kind - the shape is like new.
Just go for a classic upholstery option that won’t look dated in 20 years.

What’s the outer shell made from?
They recommend the other brands because they have a heavy canvas-like exterior that wears well and doesn’t rip with normal wear. Denim exterior would also be tough.
Soft nylon outer shell is comfortable but not BIFL durability.

They make those lined flannel shirts. Depending on price range, could look at Pendleton (if you’re in the USA).
Have you tried either silk knit under layers (e.g. Wintersilks) or Under Armor? That might let you stay warm wearing your usual work clothes

Did you get the washable wool or the traditional blanket?

Pendleton has high quality wool blankets, some washable. Might need to watch for a sale.

I watched this video a while back and the guy does a very thorough durability test: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sU6Y1FH6Ssk
Of course, this does not address other criteria you may have for things like style and how it makes your butt look

I know this seems logical, but anymore they seem to manufacture different styles with different quality / price points that you see for sale different places. I think if you look at the same Levis style number across vendors, it's the same. But you'll find that not all styles are available both at say, the Levis outlet and Kohl's

Maybe look for a used reliable model on e-Bay? I have a late 50’s Westinghouse hand mixer that’s still going strong.

I have a Sharper Image clock that wakes you with light and has a couple different white noise sounds -thunderstorm, ocean and crickets. I doubt they sell that model anymore - it’s more than 20 years old.
