It came to Mike Lindell – you know that guy on TV with the mustache? - in a dream.
He worked with his sons to find the right mix for a pillow that would keep its shape during the night. When he found it, a friend suggested he use a hammermill to pound the filling into the right shape. He found an old one in a field, got it running, and used it to make what was then stuffed into his MyPillow.

There’s an amazing lot more about Lindell and his drug addiction, divorces, and other down to include turning his life around and becoming a devout Christian. He also ponders on his life going from The Crack House to The White House.\
