As you know if you’ve been reading Twitchy, March for Our Lives co-founder and Harvard student David Hogg announced that he was absolutely going to start a billion-dollar company with progressive values to sell pillows in direct competition with Trump-supporting Mike Lindell and his MyPillow. He might have announced the plan a bit early; he didn’t have a name for his company, he didn’t know in which state to build his factory, and he needed someone to come up with a corporate logo by noon (announced just before 8 a.m.) to place in an exclusive in the Washington Post.
Hogg certainly got plenty of publicity, but in the meantime, another company has beaten him to the woke pillow market:

“They just sold 3 months of orders in a mere hours [sic] and are ‘going to the mattress’ up against that other pillow brand by sharing their liberal social and political views,” reads the press release.
#GoodPillow, meet One Fresh Pillow.

Thank God! My pillow still hasn't taken a position on the coup in Burma and it's killing me.

If you are tired of this, you’ll love my new company, Apolitical Pillows!

My pillow is a registered independent.

I have a dream that my four children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the political leanings of their pillow.

Can’t believe there isn’t some play on “cooler than the other side of the pillow wars” thing in that pitch.

Why do woke people need pillows?

LOL now there are *competing* 'woke pillow' companies. The internet allows us all manner of stupidity. https://t.co/G1DFodQVyV

WOKE PILLOW CUSTOMER SERVICE: how can we help you?
ME: excuse me, i'd like to make a return
CUSTOMER SERVICE: what was not to your satisfaction
ME: i can't sleep. i toss and turn, it's awful
CUSTOMER SERVICE: pardon me sir, why do you think we called it a 'woke pillow'?

My criteria for pillows is: 1.) is it soft; 2.) does it cost a lot; 3.) there are no other criteria

Are they stuffed with snowflakes?

I notice the “3 months of orders” conveniently sounds like a lot while not even hinting at the actual number sold.

We’ll keep an eye on the woke pillow wars to see what Hogg’s next move is; maybe he’ll buy One Fresh Pillow and rebrand it?
