The story of My Pillow
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 апр 2018
- You've seen the infomercials for "My Pillow." Company founder Mike Lindell has sold 41 million of the pillows he invented, and he did so against some pretty stiff odds, including overcoming a crack cocaine habit that became so bad, his dealers staged an intervention. Martha Teichner talks with Lindell about his unique success story, and how his business has helped other recovering addicts.

If Lindell can tell questionable stories, here is mine. It is my understand that he is currently sourcing his pillows from a generic off shore pillow company and using a private company to manage internet sales.
When your own dealers cut you off you know you have gone to far
Too bad he's not in a program or therapy. He has substituted one obsession for another. Folks that have a habit need to confront their obsessive tendencies so they don't go from sex to food to drugs to conspiracy theories.
He’s still a millionaire and despite the cut offs his sales have increased 156% #80million
We love you mike . God is on the wheels my friend. Your a great person ,don’t forget that
@@carlmilsum7203 you need jesus. Love your enemies jesus said. You should never wish someone harm, its the way of the devil.

We love mike!
Nice to see American factory workers
Absolutely! And that he is willing to give the less-employable a second chance.
It's difficult to "buy American" for most things because so much is made in Asia.
I'm willing to pay more if it says made in America
They are made here in the UK 🇬🇧 as well.
I've bought 4 in the last month.
I'm ashamed to share a name with you.
no you didn't
Bought a couple last year for the wife and I and we love them!!! Thanks Mike!!
I bought 2 My Pillows and love them. Very comfortable.
I bought two of the little Roll & Go pillows just to support Mike Lindell because of his Christian principles. I like them so much I'm ordering two of the regular bed pillows. Keep up the good work, Mr. Lindell.
I bought a travel pillow and Mike Lindells autobiography. I want to get a regular pillow too.
I love ML
I think hes quite an asset.
Thank You
God Bless You
This happy customer is pleased to say that MyPillow is the only pillows I buy.
Everyone in my house loves these.They wash/dry very well with little strain on washer/dryer
No pillow is worth $50.00. Might be a decent pillow but the price is outrageous!
If you have sleep problems they're worth it.
I just bought 2 pack at Costco, and they live up to their name. Thanks Mike, God Bless.
the BEST pillow ever! have had mine for over a year and no more neck pain, jaw pain or headaches when I wake up.
What is your dog called? I have a Maltese as well :)
I BOUGHT ONE. HONESTLY, IT'S THE BEST PILLOW I'VE EVER OWNED..... SO I BOUGHT SEVERAL MORE OF THEM, LOL!!
I agree!
Don't you feel conned paying so much money for a pillow with just PU foam filling? You can get natural fillings like wool for a lot less money.
@@dtz1000 All I know is when I hit the pillow, it's lights out. Love it. Don't feel conned at all.
Great product
Awesome story and powerful testimony! God bless you Mike Lindell!
I know it doesn't cool my head and sleep well but I have not had a crick in my neck for 3 years since I had my pillow nock on wood I know that sounds weird since it's just scraps pillows inside another pillow
I purchased 2 pillows. One for my mom and one for me. We fall a sleep fast. They are great pillows! They beat hospital pillows and feather pillows.
Was it a BOGO? If so, you were scammed.
Well yeah I can say that. They do beat hospital pillows😒
I been a my pillow customer since 2019
My pillow helped eliminate my chronic headaches !
I luv my pillow no other pillow will do for me.
I tried my pillow but I didn’t care for it.
I have a my pillow that my grandma bought me and its so comfy and it keeps my neck supported and aligned! Love it!
When Jesus comes into your life everything changes.
Yes dear, keep taking your medication.
I think your pillow might be giving off toxic fumes... 🙄
Jesus didn't use a pillow, you dork, there is no mention of my pillow in the bible.
Jesus is really helping him now huh? Hahahaha
@frank anderson Look in the mirror before pointing fingers.
My mom loves my pillow
So sorry
She better
@@mypillowguy258 lamo
Well, lend it to her, or buy her own.
Nice
Wow, I like this guy...he just sold me a pillow or two
My dad bought me a My Pillow as a gift my neck stop hurting when I sleep! Thanks Mike!
The lumpy pillow guy 😅😂
I am going to buy everyone in my family a my pillow. I heard they are great
Please don’t
Dude just buy scrap memory foam from your local hobby store and put it in a pillow way cheaper than buying this
@@hectec69 says the person probably still living in their parents' basement
I am buying two!!
Nice..
This is a commercial and they showed it on CBS Sunday morning. It is what $75 pillow. I don't care.. This is a bit of free advertising for him.
Jolene Ehret about $40 each in 2 Pack
It might have been free advertising until I found out he's a trump supporter. I do credit him for hiring former addicts.
Interesting!! Well glad I did buy any of his pillows. His story is on the pillow website, also noticed not so many tv commercials anymore. Was not particularly happy with the whole show this Sunday. It had a cobbled together feel to it. Maybe one segment was good but It didn't have the same feel as when the Gal is there. Hope she comes back. The current sub host doesn't act particularly involved. I don't know. !!!
It would be great if he keep focusing on his pillow business, instead being a clown on national TV.
Bought 2, not worth all the hype.
Daisy Taupmann
Yep, I purchased 2 also, I did not find them comfortable and tossed them but maybe
others find them comfortable.
I love the things!
So True. RETURNED IT, IT FELL APART. ONLY HAD IT 7 DAYS. NEVER AGAIN.
Pillow sucks!
How do you know which pillow to get? I like my pillow like a goose down that my head sinks into but still enough to wrap my arms around.
Don't buy this garbage then
King!
I think maybe he doesn't need to suggest to trump that he declare martial law.......that probably made some ppl lose some sleep.
How long until it goes from My Pillow to My Bankruptcy...
Sedition has its price!
Such a great story.
Who’s here from Beck Bennett’s impression of him on SNL?
Oh, how he has fallen...
I like this man.
Love those pillows ! Great story !
I’m not familiar with the Dominion case, but the My Pillow is great, very comfortable!
Gonna be called dominion pillow, soon
The pillows actually are quite lumpy. Might be ok for a dog bed, maybe not
Well, I guess mypillow.com is blocked from my email list because I asked about mypillow.com.
Why the price pillow would have been more comfy without the price
What a blessed and humble man.
Comfortable? Uncomfortable? I don’t care.
I bought 3 to upset the libs. 🤣
Wow..... idiot
you big mad
How did you upset us? By wasting your money? We like that you are wasting it, instead of giving it to Trump and really wasting it.
@@djtrouble1980 You bigly mad?
@@afdchocolatemilk2107 yet here you are commenting 😂😂😂
Interesting
Pillows demand more attention and proven options for people with real medical or other issues that impact head, neck and supportive sleep positioning -
My buckwheat pillows have change my life over the last ...
20 years...

I do not care who this guy supports politically. His ‘’my pillow’ is awesome! I haven’t woken up w a stiff neck in years since buying mine!
I’ve recommended this pillow to soo many people.
They are not bad quality pillows. But they are not anything special in the comfort department.
I really believe they should be much thicker and bigger for the price they charge. I have purchased 20.00 pillows off of Amazon which were far more comfortable.
Real comments are at least months old.
Fake ones are newer and just lefties trying to attack Mike Lindell.
I'm definitely not a fan of Chester Cheetos, but I'm a fan of a great rags to riches story👍👍👍
And back to rags.
case study how to destroy a business by spreading conspiracy theories
My Pillo

Twitter bans his account
i have one there not that good
They’re
So do I . The pillow lumps all to one side . Waste of $$
I think the people claiming they are good are just supporters of him and his platform. These pillows are horrible.
Lmao
My pillow turned into a hard clump.I must of dryed to hot.
I’m a customer for life.
I dont think hes clean still if his pillows cost like $50 in stores
You're going to pay more for a product made in America because it supports our economy. Most of what we buy is made in China, India or Mexico which hurts the little guy and lines the pockets of the big guys.
I didn't actually hear any refutation about the man coke problem but sure go off I guess
The man kicked in addiction that's got to be harder than starting your own company and facing all the criticism
It’s his free will to support who ever he wants and God Bless him for helping others by employing those who normally could not get employment and end up on Government Assistance headed by the Socialist Democrat Party 🇺🇸👍🏻
God bless him. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
*Best pillow ever!!!*
Almost bought a pillow and the n learned about his politics. I'll pass.
Quite! Mr "Martial Law" My Pillow (with his twice impeached pal in the White House) is literally fleecing the public! This "my pillow" stuff (and its stuffing) is a scam. It appears to be stuffed full of leftover scrap from a memory foam mattress factory. There's more memory and comfort in my fat buttocks than in this rubbish. DON'T BUY THIS SCRAPPY FLUFF!!
@@federicoprice2687 I wouldn't even trust one of those pillows. And I won't support the business of a guy who wants Trump to implement Martial Law. I hope he goes bankrupt.
You mean you won't buy a pillow from a man that loves God and his country? Is it because you hate God, or because you hate your country, or both? Best Pillow I've Ever Owned, by the way. Maybe you should try one.
@@captainbigbird9399 how much did my pillow pay you
@@Red99Leaf Nothing. You obviously haven't tried one.
Walmart won't stop selling them
Given the owner's decision to not only advertise on Laura Ingraham's hate fest, but to increase his advertising after she put her foot in her mouth about the Parkland shooting survivor, I would never try his product. His endorsement of her hate and stupidity either reinforces his own or simply smears him with her stink.
It's you that is the hateful one.
By hate, do you mean a traditional worldview that you don't like?
Coke Mustache
Why are Late Night hosts so obsessed with him?
American workers and hires people who also had past drug problems and couldn't get a job. Love my pillow!!
We love mike!
A shame how people react when they find out he is a Trump supporter. Are you people really that sensitive!!!????? Unreal people cannot look past that.
RetroGuy76 of course the fact that his business exploded while Obama was president is lost on you. Remember how everyone claimed his policies would do so much harm to businesses?
@@DeesBees76 Using a single company out of how many in the country...definition of cherry picking. Let's see how smart you are, Dan...what Obama policy made it so pillow man was so successful? Or are you implying that the pillow is so good that people can sleep DESPITE the shitshow of the Obama administration?
Dude on a computer the entire stock market went up for most of Obama’s 8 years you clown.
@@DeesBees76 Oh, you are right...now, tell me the actual policies that Obama enacted for that to occur.
@@DeesBees76 lies you idiot
We bought a couple of Mike Lindell's pillow. They are really comfortable. A winner. His story of escaping from coke addiction is moving. Really something. However, I nearly puked when they showed him to be a Trump supporter. My wife and I at once said "oh, no." The con man did his job on unsuspecting Mike! You would think, however, that a former addict would be able to spot a phoney, but I guess not always. We hope that Mike Lindell and all the other supporters are starting to have moments where they realize it was all smoke and mirrors with Trump. Great pillows, though. And, he puts recovering addicts to work, too. Good on him.
Kerryman he had me until he showed he supported trump.
smoke and mirrors...smoke and mirrors...no, just a lot of arrogance and negativity that millions willfully - willfully- ignored for reasons which are probably equally morally bankrupt. That so many could have made such a decision and in any way have found it defensible is much more disturbing than the rise of the man itself.
yes, please continue to explain to the class how you are way smarter than a guy who built a multi-million dollar company from the ground up.
BOOM!

not for the money
a 10 dollar is the same as
Why should I buy a "My Pillow" for $56 when I can get a Walmart Mainstays shredded foam pillow that is identical for less than $9?
Because My Pillow is made in America
@@williamvargas5223 Yes, Made in America by anti American insurrectionists...What's your point?
@@williardbillmore5713 I wrote about the price not politics.
@RingsDaGamer6 They broke into the Capitol building with a great deal of force... chanting that they intended to decapitate the chain of power by assassinating the Speaker of the house and the Vice President and install the loser of the election into power for an indefinite period . There is no way in the world they can be called patriots.
They were anti-American insurrectionists with a resolve to overthrow our government.
@RingsDaGamer6 No fraud found. No fraud proven. No fraud, Gamer.
You believe the BIG LIE that Trump began to tell even before the election
Mike Can you make me a pillow with hedge fund babies money
Time to BUYcott my pillow. Buy all of your linens and pillows from my pillow.
A dream. now a nightmare. Liar.
I dont go for Trump...but if you do...thats dandy..its a domocracy..and i love this guys pillows...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😀😀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I want a my pilla
Mike please get sober again or call your sponser. It is clear you have relapsed.
I don’t like this pillow. It’s not comfortable. No different from any other cheap pillow.
Try it yourself first. They’re overrated
LOVE THIS GUY !!!!! IM BUY ALL MY PILLOWS FROM HIM WHEN I NEED A PILLOW !!!! ESPECIALLY SINCE HE SUPPORTS MR. TRUMP THE GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER !!!!!
Susan Miller el trumpo is not that great dear. But Mr. Lindell is WAY BETTER THAN 45.
Sis you commented this so much, byeeeee
100% agree, best pillows and best president. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸
His wife who left him must deeply be regretting her decision
highly doubt it. Crazy conservative ned flanders, who tf would want that
@@wildbld Doing good is crazy to the wicked.
OH, THEY "INTERLOCK" THAT'S NICE, BUT GUESS WHAT ? Took my daughter'S old winter coat that was flexable and comfortable and easy to manipulate, and put it into a bit pillow case and stitched it up. Now I'm going to SHAPE the pillow case in the shape of a MERMAID, and wrap the tail over my eyes so the sun doesn't wake me up in the morning. Sorry, but I think this is over-rated as a "Pillow" here! The man had sleeping problems-well, probably not having to do whatsoever, with his PILLOW CONTENTS and maneuverability. Call me, I'll send you a pillow so flexible you can wrap it around your head comfortably, too. NOW THAT'S FLEXIBLE!
The my pillow is bad
snowflake.
@Dom- ... for your pocket-book.
I wished they copyrighted this pillow in the Caribbean. I grew up using these pillows .... hmmm
Stfu pandoha
Al Bundy angry much?
Worst pillow ever.
I am more impressed by the people that make something of themselves having never done drugs.
mike before if you choose you will be able to name some of your pillows dominion when you get through owning the company !!!!! ps if God is for us who can be against us ?
Junk
The best damn pillow in the whole wide world it's my pillow.com!!!! THEY REALLY DO HELP YOU GET TO SLEEP!!!! AND I've tried them all!!!🥰🥰🥰
Don't waste your money on this trash! I bought one and it came folded up in a plastic bag. I took it out and it was flat. I tried fluffing it up by hand but to no avail.
