I need a new pillow and can’t figure out if this MyPillow is a scam or if they really are as good as some people say? Does anyone here have one?

I used to have a Tempurpedic neck pillow and loved it, but can’t remember if it just wore out on me or what, but my wife bought me some cheap memory foam pillow a few years ago that isn’t that great and I want something better. The recent reviews of the Tempurpedic pillows aren’t great and it sounds like they’ve tried to cut costs with cheaper feeling foam that people aren’t thrilled with.

I’m a back sleeper so I need something good for that.

ThankS!

I like mine, the fill is a bit chunky but you can wash and dry it and it doesn't mess it up. I sleep a lot better with it

As I recall the "foundation" that endorses the pillow was started by the manufacturer.

"PhotoPillow fights are fairly common among the younger set but now adults are mixing it up pretty well over a certain kind of pillow, namely MyPillow, a heavily promoted product that is advertised incessantly on TV, cable and the internet.

The Minnesota-based pillowmaker has previously been sued for making health claims it couldn't support and for not paying New York its share of the sales tax the Empire State figured it was due.

And now, in perhaps the cruelest blow, MyPillow has been defrocked, as it were, by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) because of complaints about its "buy one get one free" offer and its BBB rating has been lowered to an "F."

“Among other issues, BBB has attempted to persuade MyPillow to discontinue their "buy one get one free” (BOGO)/other discount offers
without success,” said Dana Badgerow, president and CEO of BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota, in a news release. “Continuous BOGO offers, which can then be construed as an item's regular, everyday price, violate not only BBB’s Code of Advertising - which all BBB Accredited Businesses agree to abide by - but also other state and national organizations’ rules.”

Other issues
Other issues BBB brought to MyPillow’s attention, Badgerow said, were:

“As Seen on TV” claims are sometimes listed on MyPillow boxes where the content is NOT the same as seen on the company’s TV ads. The company has made an effort to remove this, but it can still be seen on third party seller packaging (Walmart, Target, etc.).
Photos of MyPillow on some boxes show the premium, gusseted pillow, when the box actually holds their standard pillow. The company has made an effort to correct this, but it can still be seen on some third party seller packaging.
Claims of offering a “full warranty” when the warranty was not full (customers need to pay a fee to return the pillow).
A pattern of complaints filed against MyPillow has been identified by BBB regarding customers’ understanding of the buy one/get one free offer. A substantial number of the 232 complaints filed against the company regard confusion on the offer.
“We are hopeful that MyPillow will modify their advertising and eliminate discount offers, since the pillows need to be sold at a “regular price” for the majority of the time,” Badgerow said. "

Some people love the mypillow or hate them. I hate them. I bought 2 and the foam is very chunky and very firm. I ordered a soft pillow and a medium, they use the same firm chunky foam in the softer pillows and just use less of it. I think they suck. Bed Bath and Beyond usually has them in their store where you can get your hands on one.

We like ours. Got them at Bed Bath Beyond which came in handy when the wife wanted the softer version. Easy trade out.

I have one and they are good. I wish I would have gotten the one with less fill.

Try a BioSense pillow instead. Your neck, hell your whole body will thank me later.

I heard Mike is selling 80,000 pillows a week or something like that.

I wish all you out there would go ahead and buy one or two so Mike can stop running those annoying ads that pop up everywhere. I am spending too much on batteries for my TV remote going between mute and back.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I don’t own one, but you either like it or you don’t. Looked at tons of reviews they’re pretty much what’s been said here so far..

My wife has been in search for the "perfect" pillow ever since we've met. We've had every kind of pillow imaginable, from buckwheat, a Japanese pillow with some kind of beads in it, down, to every therapeutic pillow ever made, and she's never been happy.

We've been using the My Pillows for maybe five years now & she still likes them. I never thought a lot about pillows before, but this one is about the best I've used.

So, to answer the OP:

You're either going to LOVE it, or HATE it. Since there's a money back guarantee which also covers shipping, why not just try it? You have nothing to lose.

Mike Lindell is a recently recovered meth addict. He invented the pillow while addicted. I think he has kicked it now.
He is a big conservative and is on the speaking tour. He is going on the conservative cruise and speaking with Hugh Hewitt, Larry Elder and Dennis Praeger.

As far as his pillow goes the wife has one and likes it. I tried it and it's not for me. I have a very firm pillow that after a minute conforms to my head. I really like it but it can get warm to use in the summer months.

Mrs Skins bought one. She liked it, I tried it, it appears to be pillow-like, but doesn't seem to be any more pillowy than other pillows.

I'd say use it, or whatever works best, I think pillows are just very unique to the individual.
