Costco Return of "My Pillow" - Microman - 01-29-2021
I had to, as it was important to me. So I called Costco and asked if I returned the MY Pillow Guys 2 pillows we bought on the "My Pillow" visiting tour months ago, would Costco take the hit, or would it be returned to the vender. Twice I was told that it would be returned to the vender.
So they were put in a big black trash bag, and returned to Costco.
We are not supporting any person that is supporting lies and conspiracy theories.
I am not as big as Kohls, Bed Bath and Beyond but I am going to do my part.

was this a sacrifice? Did you have to give up a pillow that you LOVED?

OK politics aside, how are these pillows?

Thus review said it was absolutely horrible - https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/01/if-trump-doesnt-keep-you-up-all-night-mypillow-will.html
I replaced my normal pillows with them anyway and didn’t tell my boyfriend until he asked, while closing his eyes, why it felt like he was sleeping “on a bed of rocks.”
Look, this would be a better story if the pillows were good. That would be complicated, and maybe confronting such an inconvenient truth would yield some kind of worthwhile insight about the nature of man and how we can tolerate evil in exchange for comfort. I don’t know if it comes through, but that’s sort of what I’m going for here, generally, in my work as Washington correspondent for New York Magazine. I take no pleasure at all in reporting that these pillows are just as bad as you would assume they are.
It’s not just that they’re hard. They’re lumpy. Like piñatas filled with fist-size cotton balls and packing peanuts. I placed my MyPillow receipt and instruction manual on my desk, mostly as a reminder to eventually write this story, and for days I’d find myself walking over to stare at the paperwork to confirm that these really were MyPillows and not some kind of knockoff produced by a left-wing James O’Keefe–style troll (but that’s a free idea if anyone wants it).
By the second night, my boyfriend had apparently forgotten about our conversation of the night before. “What is this?” he said, poking at the pillow. “It’s like a sack of potatoes.”
But by the second week, the novelty had worn off, and he had grown less understanding of my experiment (which, unbeknownst to him, I had planned to extend over the course of one month). “No, we’re not doing this tonight!” he said, pointing at the MyPillow as if it were an enemy soldier. “It’s like we’re the Flintstones! Every single night I have to live like Fred Flintstone! And why?”
During a Judge Jeanine commercial break a few nights later, the very sight of Lindell inspired fury. “Oh my @#$%& God! Give me the remote,” he said. “I feel like that guy has lowered the quality of my life so much.” Muttering to himself, he added, “That guy should be arrested.” (At the rate Lindell is going, he may be! On Monday, Dominion Voting Systems officials threatened to sue Lindell for spreading “misinformation” about the integrity of the election that Trump lost.)
