Is $69.95 a fair price for a pillow? Is $89.95 a fair price for a pillow?

Mike has lost his pillow market to saturation. He is now hyping all kinds of stuff to make up for the now gone pillow sales.

He is in effect reduced to a streaming TV hypester.

Posobiec, warrom, Bongino and other post 60% off coupons almost daily which brings it down to $27.98.

I think it’s usually 2 for the price of one. Could be wrong

I’ve got no problem paying that much. I’ve paid that much for down pillows

Got my head on 2 of them right now. Great pillows

“Mike has lost his pillow market to saturation. He is now hyping all kinds of stuff to make up for the now gone pillow sales.”

Progressive groups conducted a coordinated campaign early this year, after the Washington, DC disturbance at the US Capitol, to have Mike’s products removed from several major retailers. Lose widespread distribution in Costco, Kohls, Bed Bath & Beyond, Macy’s, Wayfair, Kroger, HEB and other mass retail chains and your business will take a major hit.

Mike is an entrepreneur. Faced with losing retail store distribution for his pillows, he jumped on streaming television to distribute his products direct to consumer and expanded his product offerings to generate incremental sales. The direct to consumer model also allows him to do more price promotion because there is no middleman markup.

Millions of pillows are sold in the US every year under many different brands at all prices. Pillows are a commodity product and have a natural replacement cycle, not unlike sheets, towels, underwear and many other products. The market has not disappeared, it shifts with innovation (memory foam pillows), changing consumer preferences, and consumers shifting from brick and mortar purchases to online.

With the shift in consumer sales to online purchase, Mike the “streaming TV hypster” selling direct to consumers seems like a reasonable distribution model. At least Mike isn’t asking for government handouts and subsidies when encountering adversity unlike major corporations. I suspect many of the large retail chains, who pandered to the woke crowd by kicking Mike’s products out of their stores, receive local and state subsidies when they construct stores, warehouses and other facilities. How many of these big corporations took Covid stimulus money?

You can get it for $19.95 if you use the right code word.

How much is a good night’s sleep worth? Or ten years of good night’s sleeps?

No. He sells them for much lower, this is from today's ad.

Kudos to Mike Lindell for his courageous fight against the Swamp critters. However, get annoyed by his ads on TV. He’s been running the same pillow ads since 1958 or thereabouts, and I’m getting a little tired of them.

I did a lot of Christmas online shopping this year solely from MyPillow (I bought dog beds, slippers, all kinds of stuff) and Minuteman Coffee.

Any more conservative companies out there? Anyone know? I’d like to support them. I also avoid Gilette.
