Been a Pixel person for maybe 4 years now, currently have the 7 Pro. I use Spigen off Amazon, affordable and seems to work well. I've dropped my phone plenty, haven't ever had a cracked screen or anything

Steelcase chairs are fantastic and they make them for really big folks. I think their normal models are rated up to 400 pounds and they've got a larger version than that.

Keep in mind there's a ton of fraud in "big and tall" office furniture. More than once I've found a chair ostensibly rated for like 350-400 pounds that had a base and casters rated for 200.

2 years ago, I bought a pair of Redbacks and Blundstones to compare them.

I’ve had Blundstones before and enjoyed them. I did find that there is usually a 2-3 month break in period. There isn’t a break in with Redbacks.

That pair of Blundstones was replaced through warranty after 18 months as the leather had cracked. My Redbacks still look like new.

Blundstones are not good winter boots. They don’t have the best traction. Redbacks on the other hand are much more robust and have great traction in the winter.

With that being said, I really like both and would be content with either. However, my Redbacks are just so comfortable.

Not sure if you are aware of the suffering that goes on so you can have the goose feathers but you might look into it. I had goose down many years ago and when I realized it I never had one again. I currently have a $50 down alternative oversized king comforter from Belk that is way fluffier than any goose down I’ve ever had. I have the most beautiful duvet cover on it and it is so warm that I sometimes get hot under it. Right now it’s 30 degrees and I was hot under it last night.
