I chose mine based on size, material, and the company and as a bonus found a sale and ended up going with Boll & Branch Plush Bath Sheet which is organic cotton and being the “sheet” rather than “towel” means that it is larger at 36” x 70” rather than 30” x 58” which is my favorite part and I will never go back to standard sized towels. Its definitely been a few years and I haven’t noticed any degradation in them so far though it is only one person using them.

Something I have been interested in trying but haven’t yet is the Onsen Waffle Bath Sheet which most notably to me is made of Supima cotton which is one of the best types of cotton you can get. The towel is also supposed to be thin, lightweight, absorbent, and quick drying. I have seen positive things from others on here before but haven’t bought one myself yet. A benefit those would presumably have over the ones I have is that because they are thinner they would take up less space which can be a factor with how big bath sheets are though Onsen’s bath sheet is slightly shorter and wider at 38” x 67” anyway. It may be of limited relevance but I do have a Supima cotton t-shirt and it is the softest, most premium feeling t-shirt I own though to be fair it is also a heavier weight shirt anyway which adds to the premium feel

Just a note that even “washable” wool isn’t going to mean you can do whatever you want and it will specify exactly the types of washers and cycles that it is safe with and you still have to air dry it.

I went with a camel wool comforter here. Mainly due to being washable and cheaper than many other options I looked at. I have an organic cotton duvet cover from I believe Boll & Branch but I could be mistaken on that. I also got their organic cotton sheet set and pillow covers.

My only complaint is I don’t love the whole duvet + duvet insert deal. Mine does have ties on all four corners and they work but I think it they should make it with 6 or 8 ties instead (I had a weighted blanked that was like this and was great) and I also would rather have a zip up duvet cover like the ones from AllergyCare or The Company Store instead of just button up however the former one apparently doesn’t have any ties inside at all and I am unsure about the latter as a reviewer said it didn’t but an FAQ said it did and neither of them offer colors which sucks because I have little interest in white or unbleached cotton colored bedding.

Are they more thick/rigid/stiff or more flexible? I don’t do anything particularly active and don’t like wearing a tight belt so I wear one of those cloth belts that has the two rings that holds itself by tension or whatever (no holes) because it thin/flexible so as to not be than noticeable and I can easily adjust it. My experience with other belts is them being rigid and noticeable and you can’t really wear it loose because it will hold its shape whereas a cloth belt will just sit comfortably on your waist. I did have a leather belt that came from a thift store that we got for a halloween costume that has pretty flexible and supple but I am pretty sure it was a lot thinner than these.
