A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

I do not recommend IKEA mattresses. We had one and it started sagging about a week in and my husband started having back pain. New mattress and back pain went away.
Do you remember specifically which mattress you tried? From when I’ve looked, they have some really cheap options, and some higher quality options.
I slept on on of their cheap mattress just out of college and liked it, but I haven’t used them in a while. I’m strongly considering their HAUGSVÄR mattress as a budget-friendly/midrange option.
I believe it was the Myrbacka.
Myr backa hurts. Noted.
Thanks!
