My wife and I both have My Pillows and we love them. Best sleep we've ever had. They are expensive, but well worth it imo.

This does sound like deceptive advertising though.

My Pillow claimed it could prevent sleep loss associated with insomnia, restless leg syndrome, neck pain, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, migraines and other ailments. This caught the skeptical eye of consumer watchdog group Truth in Advertising.org, which investigated the claims and argued there was no support from scientific evidence.

TINA.org also took issue with the fact that Lindell used the title of “sleep expert,” though he had no formal training as such. My Pillow promoted itself as the official pillow of the National Sleep Foundation — without disclosing the company had a financial relationship with the organization. The consumer group said it supplied information from its investigation to officials in California, one of the states where My Pillow advertises.

I was going to get these. I read through about 40 reviews on Amazon and it was either 5 stars or 1 stars. It's either really hit or miss or they have really bad QA where they manufacture them.

I wasn't even looking for a pillow but that infomercial was on every channel the last time I worked night shift and man they really made me want to buy that pillow. So far though, I have resisted.

I found there customer service to be really good. The first set of pillows we bought were too soft for us, so we sent them back in exchange for firmer pillows. They sent us the new set of pillows no charge and sent me a prepaid USPS shipping label for the 1st set and just said to send them back when we received the replacements. Not many companies will do this, they usually want the original items back before they will ship out replacements at no charge.

If you decide to get the pillows, I would recommend going up one level on their firmness chart unless you like a really soft pillow. They size your pillow based on your shirt size. My shirt size is XL, but the pillow for XL I found too soft. So I got the pillow that matched up to the XXL shirt size and it is perfect for me.

I would definitely recommend them based on my experience. The problem I had with all other pillows is that they become hot during the night and can make you sweat, that doesn't happen with these pillows because the fill is not heat conducive. Make sure you don't pay the full price for them which is around $100 each. They have 50% off coupon codes right on their sight. I'm sure they are making a bundle on these pillows at $50 each, they probably cost about $10 to make including labor. But to me it's worth it, best sleep I've had.

When the pillows are shipped they are rolled flat and wrapped in plastic for shipping. To activate the fill you must put the pillow in the dryer on high for at least 15 minutes. After that you're all set. They are machine washable as well.
