Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of? (lemmy.world)

I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

Mattress and shoes.

Both of which you use multiple hours each day, and can really break your body if they aren't ergonomic.

The cheap ones also break often, costing you more money in the long run.

I understand the importance of getting a good mattress, but I’ll be damned if I can figure out whether a mattress actually is any good, expensive or not, without sleeping on it for a while. The whole industry feels like a giant scam.

It really doesn't matter. Sleep on whatever you're comfortable on. If that's a $60 walmart inflatable or a $4k luxury silver lined mattress, whatever gives you the best sleep is right for you.

Yes, I think this illustrates the point more than provides any useful advice. I don't know before I sleep on it if I'm going to sleep well, so how do I choose?

Many offer trials.

some mattress brands offer a 30-day trial, precisely for the reason you stated.
