You’ve seen the ads. The pillow. The guy. The cloud-like promises. But is MyPillow still in business? The short answer is yes, but it’s a rollercoaster ride of a story. Buckle up, because this is way more fun than a pillow fight.
The Pillow That Refuses to Die
MyPillow is still alive and kicking. Founder Mike Lindell, the “MyPillow Guy,” is still the CEO. He’s not going anywhere, even after a wild few years.
But here’s the kicker: the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February 2023. That sounds scary, right? Actually, it was a strategic move to reorganize debt and avoid a lawsuit from a pillow supplier they owed $18 million.

More Political Than Pillowy
Let’s be real—this isn’t just about pillows anymore. Mike Lindell became a huge political figure after the 2020 election. He spent millions promoting election fraud claims, got sued by Dominion Voting Systems for $1.3 billion, and even hosted a “Cyber Symposium” that was widely mocked.
Did that hurt pillow sales? You bet. Some retailers dropped MyPillow products. Bed Bath & Beyond? Gone. Kohl’s? Walked away. Even Target and Walmart pulled back on shelf space. It was like a pillow exodus.
But here’s the funny part: Lindell’s loyal fans bought even more. They saw it as a political statement. “Sleep on the right side of history” became an unspoken motto.
The Great Pillow Debt Saga
So how did a company selling $50 pillows get into such a mess? It’s not just politics. Lindell reportedly spent $40 million of his own money on legal fees and his “cause.” That’s a lot of pillow profits.
Then came the Dominion lawsuit. Lindell owes money, but he insists he’ll fight it. He says God told him to keep going. Yes, God is in the pillow business now.
In bankruptcy court, MyPillow listed assets between $1 million and $10 million. But debts? $65 million. That’s the kind of math that makes your head spin—even on a perfect pillow.
Where Can You Buy One Today?
You can still get a MyPillow. The company sells directly from its website, which is basically a temple to Lindell. They also hawk them on ShopHQ and other small TV channels. You won’t find them in big-box stores anymore, but they’re out there.

The website is a trip. It’s full of testimonials from people who say the pillow changed their lives. One guy claims it cured his snoring. Another says it solved his marriage problems. Allegedly.
Fun fact: MyPillow once offered a “60-day money-back guarantee.” Now it’s a “one-time exchange or refund” policy. Funny how that changed after the cash problems hit.
The Quirky Side of This Pillow Panic
Let’s talk about the absurdity of the MyPillow saga. At one point, Lindell tried to launch a social media platform called “Frank.” It lasted about six months. The tech was so bad that even his fans couldn’t figure out how to log in.
Then there’s the “MyStro” water—a failed energy drink. And the “MyPillow Sleep App” that no one uses. Lindell is a serial entrepreneur with a pillow addiction.
But my favorite detail? Lindell once said his pillow is “the most comfortable pillow you’ll ever own.” He also claimed it could stop convulsions. I’ll let you decide which is weirder.
Is It Finally Going Under?
Not yet. The bankruptcy court approved MyPillow’s reorganization plan in July 2023. The company got a break on its debts. Lindell still owns the company, and he’s still tweeting like a madman at 3 AM.
Sales have plummeted, though. At its peak, MyPillow made over $300 million a year. Now? Estimates suggest it’s around $100 million. That’s still a lot of pillows—but not the empire it once was.

Here’s the real question: will it survive the legal storm? The Dominion case is still pending. A $1.3 billion judgment could end MyPillow for good. But Lindell is stubborn. He’s like a pillow that refuses to deflate.
Why This Story Is Just Plain Fun
This isn’t just about a pillow company. It’s a soap opera with a fuzzy cover. You’ve got a guy who sleeps in the White House, a pillow that became a political weapon, and a bankrupt business that still sells dreams.
Also, can we talk about the name? “MyPillow.” It sounds like a plush toy you’d buy for a toddler. Yet it became a multi-million-dollar juggernaut fueled by infomercials and conspiracy theories.
The most fun part? No one knows what happens next. Lindell might pivot to selling MyMattresses or MyMagicBeds. Or he might go down in a blaze of legal glory. Either way, it’s free entertainment.
What Should You Do?
If you own a MyPillow, don’t panic. It’s still a pillow. It won’t explode or send you secret political messages. Probably.
If you want to buy one, you can. Just know you’re buying more than foam and cotton. You’re buying a piece of American absurdity. Sleep on that.
And if you ever meet Mike Lindell in person, ask him one thing: “Did you ever make a pillow that doesn’t come with a conspiracy theory?” His answer will be funnier than any pillow joke I can make.
