brad story
I think I spent $400. And then I opened up the package to find out it was just a cover and there was no beans in the bean bag. So I ended up getting a new bean bag chair, but that's a story for a different day. Answer qualification: A beanbag, sorry.

ryan story
There are different functions for pillows. You definitely got your knee pillow, your feet pillow, sometimes bear hug, strangle. But I like to go into that mid tier where it's like it's more than 20 bucks, but less than 60. So I've got like 40 pillows when I could have just bought one that lasted forever. Answer qualification: I continue to try to find that mid tier pillow.

pillow anecdote
Response context: So you have definitely failed in this segment because I've absolutely dropped $100 in a pillow and I'm not even a pillow guy. It only cranked out like late, late last year. And it was an amazing pillow. It was, it was so comfortable. One of the gel packs must've like been punctured and just bled out.
