Three products you should never compromise on quality

Quality is the hallmark of any product that we intend to buy and use. While purchasing some, we sideline quality to save money, which is okay as long as it does not affect your life negatively. Following are the three products where you should not compromise on quality because of their impact on your life.

1. Bed/Mattress: An average person sleeps 8 hours a day, which means 1/3rd of your life is spent sleeping. A night of good sleep is a superpower and one of the most important factors along with a good diet & exercise for a healthy life. During your sleep, blood circulation increases by 50%. A good night’s sleep can make a real difference in your life.

As you slumber, your heart pumps more blood, and stress ebbs away. With the right bed, you can wake refreshed and ready for anything. An average person spends a fortune on food and drinks a year but with proper sleep, you can improve your life physically and mentally. You spend a third of your life sleeping so make it count. Make sure you’re getting the best night’s rest with the most comfortable mattress money can buy.

2. Work Desk/Chair: An average working person spends more than 8 hours of their time at work. After COVID, working from home is the new norm. Post the COVID pandemic, most organizations measure employees' performance based on task completion than the amount of involvement and time spent at work. When the assessment of your performance is outcome-based than time invested, you are under intense pressure to perform than ever before. Let's consider you work for 8 hours a day; it is like spending 1/3rd of your life until your retirement.

One of the greatest investments you can make is to get the appropriate desk and chair while you are at work. An ergonomic workstation that can make work at home productive can go a long way to avoid repetitive strain injuries in your limbs and lower back. If you are like the majority of people who spend a lot of time sitting at your desk or chair doing work, you may benefit from sit/stand workstations. If you sit for long periods each day, it can damage your back and knees. A sit/stand desk could be an option as you can sit or stand while you work comfortably.

3. Car: A wise man once said, `Always buy a car with this and that feature.' But a wise man is not always correct. A wise man could be someone who has never been in a car accident. The most important thing to remember when choosing a new car is to take into account the safety features it offers as well as how inexpensive it will be if you do have an accident.

If an unfortunate event unfolds, the regret of not investing in a product that could've preserved a life would be the most painful experience which no one should go through. When you invest in a car, remember safety has a price because it directly correlates to the quality of the product. 

Tip

Experiences: While purchasing decisions are mostly made to own products, one of the neglected areas is to spend on quality experiences. When we talk of experience, it is not the experience of playing a game on your Xbox or watching Netflix on your TV. We meant life-changing experiences, where you make an effort to move your body and soul.

It can be as small as hiking on a nearby hill or rafting through a river or visiting diverse places to experience different cultures. No matter how you lived your life, in the end, what you carry is a capsule of memories of such experiences and nothing else. While you have an able body and money to spend, you must experience what the world has to offer than be confined to your home or your office cubicle.
