I bought into the hype!!

So yesterday shopping channel had a sale on the mypillow set of pillows, almost half price at 89-99.99/ a pair...now me being frugal thought seriously hundred dollar pillows?!? I better be having wet dreams about shemar Moore every night for that! Lmao But they were selling like hot cakes and got some amazing reviews (some bad ones too but mostly good) so I caved and ordered them. I figured I couldn't go wrong with the shopping channel money back guarantee. Does anyone have it? Please tell me it's awesome lol

I'm just happy that you're happy OP. But no, can't say I'm aware of this awesome product that you're willing to have strange dreams about.

Peace ✌️

Get a good looking celebrate to endorse your products and sell for 500% markup. It's the American way!

That pillow is probably the dame Chinese crap they sell at Walmart with a different tag.

Might as splurge on the $500 Dyson hair dryer to go with it.
A life spent making mistakes is not only more memorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

ouch! $45-50 ea

"Impartial" reviews aren't that flattering. Material-wise is not worth that money: standard cotton cover, polyurethane filling (processed a bit more than in other pillows, but still polyurethane foam).
Summary
The My Pillow is constructed with a cotton cover and shredded poly foam fill. This pillow is available in Standard and King sizes, in addition to being available in medium and firm loft / feel. Overall, I found My Pillow to be a very average pillow. It's not bad, but it's not overly impressive. Furthermore, the price point just does not match up to the material quality or performance. For $50 I expect much more out of a pillow. This is not a pillow that I recommend, as I believe there are much better options available elsewhere.

----------
Consumer Reports bought three My Pillows to test. Although we weren’t able to test that REM sleep claim, we did examine them inside and out. My Pillow describes itself as having “3-piece interlocking fill,” but it actually has thousands of torn polyurethane foam pieces in three sizes. We were able to shift the foam pieces around to different positions, and they did seem to stay put under pressure. The case is 100 percent cotton, and it didn’t have any noticeable off smells like some new pillows can.

How does it feel? Our tester described My Pillow as “kind of lumpy, but comfortable.” We also polled staffers who bought My Pillow on their own. Most said they bought it to help alleviate a sleep problem such as insomnia, neck pain, or snoring. Half of the 18 staffers said it helped a lot, 17 percent said it helped a little, and 33 percent said it didn’t help at all. Only one-third of the group said they would buy My Pillow again. (Use these exercises to help stop snoring.)

The 60-day money-back guarantee means that you can return My Pillow; you’ll have to pay for shipping and handling on both the original purchase and the return. Exchanges are free, however, including shipping.

What are the terms of the 30 day money back guarantee? here are some excerpts?
[We] will provide you with a full refund of the item purchase price, less applicable return shipping charges.

To qualify for a refund, your returned item must be received at The Shopping Channel in the original packaging, with all parts and in the same condition as you initially received it.
So, you pay shipping both ways and it must be in saleable condition. Good luck.

I pity you. Free stuff everyone can get ain't worth making a thread.
