I bought a down comforter from plumeria bay maybe 15 years ago and it held up.
Edit: it is important that the comforter have good quality down proof fabric. I'd get a nice quality duvet to protect it and make it silky.

One thing I'll say about the Moab 2 is that they have various levels of waterproofing. They sell ventilated ones for dry summer hiking, standard, goretex, winter/ice ones.
This wouldn't change your comfort issues, but for you or anyone else reading this looking it's something good to be aware of.

Reply to Is trendyol a good brand? by NefariousnessLarge17
You are conclusion shopping, let's not do that. If you want pants:
- Use the search engine. We've spoken on this topic before.
- Sex. Mens and Womens pants are a thing and we have no idea.
- Cute/Colorful mean 9000 things to 2000 people, post a picture.
- Pants. Painters with hammer loops, Farmers with double denim knees, Pedal pushers, leggings....all various forms of pants.
- Budget. $2000 pants are a thing.

I agree. Unfortunately what's available on the grounds for me here is very limited. I'm resorting to ordering different models in different sizes and lasts in bulk to try on at home and return the ones that don't fit.

Trendyol is a Turkish company (with Alibaba (Chinese company) being one of the main shareholder today (as far as I know)
I have never bought items directly from Trendyol, so I cannot tell whether the products are made in China or in Turkey.
Turkish manufacturer have to pay their employees more (compared to the other East Asian countries) since the minimum wage is 10.008 TL (488,36 Euro) a month according to https://www.pwc.com.tr/tr/hizmetlerimiz/insan-yonetimi-ve-organizasyon-danismanligi/sosyal-guvenlik-hizmetleri/bultenler/2022/2023-yili-asgari-ucret.html
There is also specific requirements to working conditions for factories which the government is very strict with and do frequent check-ups on which is way higher than the ones you typically see in China.
I have personally bought many products from other online Turkish retailers and the quality is typically very good (especially when you take the price into account) and often better than Italian goods which should be the best money can buy.
My advice would be to look where the product is made if you have that information available.

Reply to comment by CDN_a in Where can I find the 'real truth' about purchasing pillows? by [deleted]
I have been super very poor, so my strategy is to buy the absolutely cheapest possible option and only upgrade if it hinders or doesn't help or wears out too quickly. And by cheapest possible I mean like $3 pillows at goodwill or Marc's or Ollie's. It's a little harder to get ripped off at low price points, and sometimes you encounter unexpected gems.

TPS 535 or Drifter.
Would recommend trying them on though - for boots, fit is by far the most important element.

I’ve got a Faribault wool blanket for weight and thermal regulation and a Parachute mattress topper for fluff. Sweet heaven.

I have never heard of detergent staining clothes in my life. I wash a lot of clothes. What color are the stains and what are two articles of clothing stained the worst? Very curious!

The way I think this one works is the duvet is divided into multiple sections, each section has down encased within a down proof sachet. The surrounding borders of each section are breathable while the down retains heat, resulting in a breathable duvet that doesn't leak feathers.
*edit: which now that I think of it, must be why the duvet crackles sort of loudly when you move it.

Jesus, whoever sold that didn't know what they had. I just sold mine, albeit five years younger, for about ten times that.
