My Worst Pillow

K loves to fall victim to new "breakthrough" products advertised on TV.  Specifically the ones where you have to call now to get some sort of urgent deal, not products from good old faithful Target or Home Depot.

Have you seen the ads for MyPillow on TV? Advertised as "the most comfortable pillow you'll ever own". K immediately wanted one and told his Mom that's what he wanted for Christmas 2 years ago, especially since it was a BOGO deal so I would get one too.
Worst pillow ever and for $80 each!

Even with the BOGO "deal" making it $40 each, these are terrible quality pillows. I know everyone wants amazing sleep so the advertisement draws you in thinking "yes, this is the answer". Nope it isn't. I used the pillow for one night and told K they were all his. I think he realizes now they really aren't anything special.      

My favorite pillows are from Kohl's for under $15 and they are heavenly to sleep on!

As we're on this topic, K saw an Ad on TV for the World's Softest Pajamas and decided this would be a perfect Christmas gift that same year. For "only $80" he ordered this PJ set from Pajama Gram.


They are comfortable but by no means worth the price and are just as comfortable as PJ's I own from Target and Victoria's Secret. Also what's up with the cowlick neck?

I guess the ad's content appealed to men wanting to gift their significant other/family member PJs made out of "fabric that's as soft to the touch as a baby bunny and as luxurious against the skin as the finest cashmere...She'll love you for it." Nope, not worth the price!

That's all for today...

  3. That is too funny that he gets sucked in to those ads! Chris and I will see one come on and we are like OMG CALLING NOW! And we pretend to make the call...but we never actually do. Now, I will say...Scrubdaddy is the real deal lol. And we bought the clever cutter at bargain hunt for $7 that was a TV ad for awhile. That sucks that the pillow was so expensive and that awful!

  4. True story - I actually bought my mum some pillows online because of an ad. Thankfully those turned out to be ok but they wee like 90 USD for one pillow...

  5. SO for the pinched nerve in my neck, someone told me to get that pillow. I saw it on Zulily for $30. It was just delivered two weeks ago and I was away for like six of those days. Today I can barely move my damn neck.

  6. I hate scammy things like that! I bought my pillow off Groupon on a friend's advice and I love it so much. It is a bamboo pillow. You never know!

  9. I'm sorry that pillow sucked so much! I swear my parents sometimes fall victim to those infomercials too, although sometimes they do have some good things on there, like the Magic Bullet!

  10. This whole post cracks me up because I can hear myself having the same conversations with my husband. He's highly susceptible to marketing. You'd think he'd be better about it because he's an attorney, but nope... he's just as gullible as the rest of us, lol. (Also Target has the best affordable PJs. I'm convinced. I'll see how they wash though.)

  11. My husband is all about the tac glasses and the Tiger Wrench. I swear he's actually going to buy them one of these days.
