5:14 am
sometimes they just need better sleep. (audience clapping) >> one of the things that i love about my pillow premium is that you can wash it. so we're going to check in with mike and find out what makes this pillow so superior to any other pillow out there. mike? >> well, patty, not only be able to wash but you can also dry it. and when i set out to invent this pillow, i wanted it to have everything. so not only do i warranty it 10 years, to n go flat, i didn't want it to get any dirty. i wanted to be able to wash and dry it. with all my experimentation i did, i finally came up with the right patented fill that you could do that with. and other pillows that we've tried, i've got them right here. this first one here with that fiber fill, look what happened to it. >> it looks distorted. >> that's terrible. now i see it might match the guy with the big head but it's not going to match anybody else's, absolutely terrible. the next one, we actually just set this one in here. we didn't actually wash and dry because it says absolutely do not wash and dry it.
5:15 am
and so when this is dirty, when this goes flat, you're done. >> well, and that's the little portable heater. that's the one you sweat on, so. >> right, right, right, right. so that one's going to not only get full of sweat but it's going to be disgusting. >> that's no good. >> absolutely disgusting. yeah. it's even gotten worse. you've lost some, i mean it's. >> what's happening? >> this is your, this is the one with your down and most expensive. this one here tually said you could wash and dry it. >> okay, well there is way too much dust going on. and it brings me to and um, allergies and people that think that. >> and my pillow is non-allergenic and it's warranty 10 years not to go flat. it doesn't matter how many times you wash and dry it. i even used premcor threads so the thread won't even wear out. if it doesn't come out, look this is the pillow i currently use, and i don't know how many times i've washed and dried it.
