Another Scam..... (My Pillow)

You have probably seen the tv commercials for "My Pillow". They claim they are a member of the "National Sleep Foundation". Guess what, they CREATED that foundation. There are several websites where people repeatedly say that this company charges about $100 for each pillow, and they are no better than the "top brand" pillows you can buy at Walmart, Target, or other stores, and only pay $25 or less. In fact many people said the "My Pillow" is uncomfortable and lousy.

My wife likes it, and she has plenty of premium (i.e. "down") pillows to compare it to. It was about $40 before the 20% coupon. YMMV.

Well, that was PC's quote. It looks to be incorrect. Wikepedia sez My Pillow was founded in 2004.

The National Sleep Foundation was around in 2001. It was founded back in 1990 according to the first paragraph in the above cite.

I'm repeating what I read on a website, so you may be correct. It appears that several persons on here like it, and said it sold for $40 (with coupon), not $100. So, I guess it was not liked too much by those in that website. Unfortunately I did not save the web URL. I only recall it was a blog sort of site. If I was not in the middle of a home repair job, I might try to find it again, but not now, cuz I'm just taking a 5 min break.

Personally, I have no interest in it, but they keep showing the commercial, and just for grins, I googled "National Sleep foundation", because I was curious what that foundation did, or why such a thing exists. I guess there is a foundation for darn near everything.

It must be fun working at The National Sleep Foundation, because all they do is sleep all day at work :)

Either way, my $7 Walmart pillow works just fine!

I'm always leery about something overpriced that is heavily advertised. Some items, I would not buy without at least seeing first. I read the Amazon reviews and they say they use some sort of chopped up foam and advise, when received, fluffing in a drier and a lot of people complained about the plasticy smell not going away.

Wife finally saw one in Bed Bath and Beyond and said it felt like a bag containing lumps of cotton. Said she would not buy one.

Walmart has them sealed in boxes up front for $50. Still an outrageous price.

They are made in America, so that accounts for some of the price. The factory is in Shakopee, Minnesota.

Local gossip columns have had some entertaining bits occasionally about the founder/his marriage. He sounds like one of those hyperactive types who always goes full-throttle on everything that catches his enthusiasm.

The way I see it , buy them in Walmart (maybe other places) for $ 50 each or order them 2 for $ 100 on the website if you enter the 'special code'.

We order 2 about a year ago. They are ok, nothing great, but not bad. You do have to really fluff them up in a dryer when you first get them. They are as flat as a pancake as they come out of the box.
