This is beautiful. I'm amazed it's not higher rated. It certainly deserves to be.

Yeah?
"Many people are saying?" Now where have I heard that before.

Yes they do, you just have to look harder.

Sitting all day or standing all day is bad for you. We're meant to be moving or at the very least changing between sitting and standing.
Standing desks are great, especially if you can alternate between the two.

I also have a Steelcase Leap and I can't stand it. Worst purchase I ever made. It's one of the the most uncomfortable chairs I've ever sat in. There is just zero padding in the seat (it's like sitting on a rock - actually, I've sat on more comfortable rocks than this) and the lumbar is far too aggressive, even when you remove the extra lumbar support.
Just my experience.

Not what you're going to want to hear, but your problem isn't the chair you're sitting in, it's sitting itself. Yes, a chair built for ergonomics won't hurt, but it won't correct the underlying issue and it won't prevent issues going forward.
I've tried all the top chairs, Aeron, Embody, Steelcase Leap v2, Gesture, et cetera. None of them helped. Know what helped my bad back and made it go away for good? Physical therapy. Know what keeps it from coming back? Not sitting as long or as often. Switching between sitting and standing. Strengthening my back with rucking / exercise / building core strength. Strengthening the hips and loosening them up. Stretching.
It's going to take work but the sooner you start the better.

It sounds like you want the Solovairs. Just get the Solovairs.

There are no BIFL shoes, and if there were, they certainly wouldn't be Solovair.
The closest you'll get to BIFL is looking over at r/goodyearwelt and finding some quality boots you like that can be resoled.

Wasn't trying to be cutthroat. Was just asking if you'd searched, as many of these have been discussed at length.
Cheers.

Context. We were specifically talking about ordering a 'regular cup of coffee' in Europe.

Pick one you like that is resolable and it will effectively be buy it for life (inasmuch as footwear can be buy it for life).

Well sure, almost everything is buy it for life if you never use it.

Negative. I've given up for the time being. I may go back to using a sobakawa pillow. I had one decades ago and I liked it.
You?

Just to give another viewpoint, I have the same Coop pillow and I didn't like it. It feels "airy" for lack of a better word, like it's not really supporting your head / neck. I feel like I can't relax and put my full weight on it. It's hard to explain. I've tried different fill levels. Maybe it's just a 'me' problem. It just didn't feel like other pillows in an unnatural way (to me).
They have a decent return policy though, so you can try it for yourself.

Have you done any tests? I'm assuming the 45 hours claim is under ideal conditions. So create ideal conditions and see if you can hit 45.
Prime it with water as hot as possible, then fill it with hot liquid, then leave it for 44 hours before opening it.
