@narfcake I have some huge wedge pillows i have no cases for, and too many shirts, tho small potatoes compared to Narfcake The Great's collection. Perhaps i'll sew some shirts into wedge pillowcases. Anvil should be fine i think.
@f00l Anything would work, really. Just prewash before cutting if you're going to buy new.
@TheCO2 I prefer my shirts staying as shirts. I do admit to cutting some up into tanks; most were thrift store finds and/or mutant Anvil, in which case the desleeving process was sometimes self-inducing. (First wash!)
@compunaut Shirt.Woot's use of AA shirts have spoiled me, especially back in the days of $10 dailies. Super soft and unlike some other brands, stays that way.
Are there softer? Yes - the Next Level blanks that Design By Humans and TeeTurtle uses are such, but I've found they stretch more too, so prints get distressed sooner in its life.
As for other uses - the scratchy Gildans, Fruit of the Looms, and other low cost carded open-ended cotton shirts double as polishing rags. Or sandpaper. These I usually get in bulk "rag bags", aka unsold thrift store shirts.
@skrawn Whaaaat? Hotel pillows are the worst things in the universe! The last hotel I stayed in (a Mariott) had a nice, comfy bed, and shitty, flaccid, miserable pillows.
IKEA pillow my parents bought me along with a sheet set for a graduation present... in 2009. Squishy, smells horrendous, has bloodstains from when I had dental surgery, probably 70% dead skin at this point, and I can't get a good night's sleep on anything else.
It reeks of gasoline.
And are those hornets?
@Ignorant too soft?
@MsELizardBeth
@Ignorant
Too floppy!
@Ignorant @MsElizardBeth @f00l
Too douchey?
The stains bring back so many memories...
It weighs about ten pounds and is therefore amazing in a pillowfight.
@brhfl Mine too. Wife calls it a rock. I hate every other pillow I've tried.
The object under your head is your weapon of choice in the Zombie Apocalypse.
@Fish_Kungfu the rest of my body? Sweet!
@MsELizardBeth Sure! Just like Bruce Lee. Your body is a deadly weapon. :-)
Suddenly everyone on meh is Goldilocks.
@MsELizardBeth
That's Just Right!
I actually sleep with three pillows of varying softness. The trick is to stack two together that average to the right feel for that night.
Squishy soft, moderately light, 100% cotton, made in the USA, and has a cat plotting your demise.
(My pillow is a pile of shirts.)
Do you really sleep on a pile of catshirts? That would absolutely level up @narfcake in my mental meh rpg.
@narfcake You know you have too many shirts when...
@brhfl Yes. I will say it's not always just catshirts, though.
@TheCO2 When it's cold, I also use shirts for a blanket. Towels? Shirts.

@narfcake I'm betting you could make a killing off themed t-shirt quilts.

@narfcake Do you find a lot of Woot shirts at thrift stores?
@TheCO2 My collection would be like half its size without that secondary/tertiary market.
@narfcake Shirts (don't they have to be soft t-shirts?) are truly multi-purpose objects. Like the Leatherman of clothing

im in a hotel so it was just right

@cpierce
febreeze
@cpierce hydrogen peroxide gets the blood out. Then vacuum it and steam it to remove and kill stuff
@CaptAmehrican don't use steam if it is memory foam - water, etc. ruins them... unfortunately.
@cpierce
but the post still made me laugh.
Hmm. They're soft enough, but filthy.
