    I simply cannot believe how incredibly STUPID some store CEOs can be. On the news today it is reported that Bed Bath & Beyond, and Kohls stores will no longer be selling My Pillow products, obviously because their CEOs dont like the CEO of My Pillow. Do those dam fools realize that they are alienating half of their customers????

    I encourage everyone to call the local store and talk to the manager and tell him/her that you will no longer be coming to their store, as I just did. Encourage them to call corporate and tell them of your phone call. Hit them in the bottom line. They will come around quick, and the boards of those companies should fire their present CEOs for absolute stupidity.

    Why? It's an overpriced pillow whose only sales distinction is that it is made in the USA. If Lindell hadn't fawned over Trump as much as he has, his business would have survived. No one is to blame but Mike Lindell himself. He should have done what he does best, sell pillows, not conspiracy garbage.

    Good, they are crappy pillows and the loser treats his employees like dirt.

    You realize what you are calling for is cancel culture. I have no problems with it but I think many that would support your stance would.

    It’s the brilliant vile strategy of the left which has been 10 years in the coming.

    they have over years vilified opposition and intimidated corporatists to do as they say or be grouped with all ‘racists, insurrectionists’ etc.. the fear of these radical groups and activists makes cowards succumb to intimidation tactics. ‘Stop selling that product or supporting this person or having person x as a client or else we will smear you, accuse you of being a racist, bigot, insurrectionist.’ Cowards cave in to this..

    the radical left are the wolves in sheep’s clothing, they are the most intolerant, divisive, bad people but brilliantly operating under the cover of ‘social justice champs’ but they are worse than the people they attack and engage in thuggish, evil behavior.

    You think it’s unacceptable that BB&B and Kohl’s are basically boycotting My Pillow. To show your displeasure you’re calling for a boycott of those store. Do you appreciate the irony? I know I do :D

    Do those fool CEOs realize they are running a business, and they just alienated half the country?

    I think the right has already made a case against cancel culture, but these companies are not being swayed by our argument, while those on the left are able to get what they want from these companies via cancel culture. I think it's high time that the right fights fire with fire and engages in cancel culture, too. At the end of the day, these companies only care about their bottom line, and right now, since only the left engages in cancel culture, these companies are more swayed to do things to appease them. However, if there was a countervailing force, boycotts from the right, this would offset any sway the left has on these companies' bottom lines.

    Are you a member of BLM?

    I called Bed Bath & Beyond, and told them I'd be shopping there to show my appreciation.

    If I bought stuff based on my love of the My Pillow guy I have more to worry about than company CEO's.

    Bed Bath and Beyond said they cancelled because the products were taking up more space than their sales warranted. Like Lindell they were losers.

    Dominion Sends Demand Letter to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell (lawandcrime.com)

    MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a fierce and devoted ally of President Donald Trump, was sent a demand letter earlier this month by attorneys representing Dominion Voting Systems. Dated January 8, the letter was only made public on Monday.

    “You have positioned yourself as a prominent leader of the ongoing misinformation campaign,” the letter sent by Thomas A. Clare reads–referring to the conspiracy theory promoted by far-right defenders of the lame duck president that some voting vendors were part of an effort to steal the Trump vote and hand Joe Biden a win.

    “Despite knowing your implausible attacks against Dominion have no basis in reality, you have participated in the vast and concerted misinformation campaign to slander Dominion,” the letter continues before warning later on. “Litigation regarding these issues is imminent.”

    Didnt like the pillow myself, my wife kept hers and I put mine in the guest bedroom.

    My parents love theirs.

    I like bed bath & beyond but they are severely overpriced so I don't shop there often.

    Is this the only product banned from the store for political reasons.

    BB&B ain't exactly Trump country. Now, if it were Walmart you might have a point.

    Way overpriced, but the quality is better than average. I hate the place, but women in my life love it.

    Meh - actions have consequences.

    I support a store's right to carry whatever products they want to.

    We bought two My Pillows. They are now landfill.

    If you are familiar with triangle makeup sponges; that is what My Pillow stuffing is.
