My old sleeping bag hit 150 nights and it's still warm

I was about to replace it because the loft looked flat, but a buddy convinced me to do a proper wash and dry cycle with tennis balls. It puffed right back up and kept me toasty on a 35 degree night in the Adirondacks. Anyone have a bag that's lasted way longer than you thought?

How many tennis balls did you end up using? My own bag is so old I'm pretty sure the loft is held up by dust and hope. It's a green monster from a big box store, maybe 200 nights on it, and it still works fine for summer trips. I just avoid looking at it too hard in the light.

Tennis balls worked great for my old bag too.

Lol, dust and hope is the real insulation tech.
