Anyone have opinions regarding wool comforters vs down comforters?

I'm looking to replace my current ikea synthetic comforter and started down the rabbit hole of research. And the big two that popped out were down for fluffiness and wool for moisture wicking/temperature regulation. Not really sure what I should go with.

Does it actually have to sit in the shower? Could you just get a regular speaker and set it on your vanity/toilet tank/on the floor in front of your shower/etc?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HDVLHTQ/ can get wet and works well enough to be useful in places like backyards and garages as well. I set it on the shelf when I take a shower, it's directly in the shower's stream, and it runs fine. The bike-mount version for a dollar more is the same thing, with a detachable bike mount.

What's a good food flask/lunchbox that's watertight and keeps food hot or cold? Trying to cut down on costs by not spending £5+ a day on lunch. Something that could hold soups/stews but also random pasta dishes and salads and whatever.

I've got my eye on this (I love the integrated spoon), but want to see if there is anything else out there I should consider.

I only listen to podcasts and I find the Skullcandy Ink'd ones to be fine. They're only around $10 so it's okay to lose or break them. I've had a couple pairs and only one minor issue.

If you want something great for music, avoid them.

Look at like a double deep pistol case then. You will have to cut the foam a bit to get everything in and secure but they run like $20-50 and while not as sturdy as a pelican case, are good for lite/medium duty stuff.

Bonus points if the book doesn't claim that any of them work. Just as a neat historical reference.

Anyone have a suggestion for an air purifier that will remove dust from a litter box from the air? I have my cat's litter box in a closet in one of the rooms in my house and that room gets really dusty really fast, from all the dust the liter creates. I want an air filter that will deal with this (if possible). I looked at the sweethome but I think their suggestions are way overkill since it's only one small room I need it for. Looking for under $100, with HEPA filters preferably since that's what I read was good.

You might want to consider using better litter, like the clumping kind that doesn't create giant clouds of dust. I used to use a clay litter and it was terrible but I haven't had dust clouds since switching to clumping / flushable.

I've used both fresh step and tidy cats; I suspect they're all generally the same. There seem to be various amazon reviews for people who are really sensitive to dust, if you google around. Try https://www.amazon.com/forum/cats?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx3BHSNMXT6GC07&cdThread=Tx1W2C9UXLREMUS

Regardless, even the ones they consider dusty aren't even close to your standard inexpensive clay-based cat litter.

If it's just for one room you might try strapping a furnace panel filter onto a basic box fan (filter attached to the front of the fan.) It's surprisingly effective.

In the vein of dustless cat litter I've been buying natures miracle brand for the cat and haven't noticed any dust issues and I believe they advertise it as dustless.
