Quick Answer: MyPillow is available in Canada through Walmart.ca, Amazon.ca, and direct from mypillow.com (charged in USD). Prices range from $80 to $130 CAD. It uses shredded polyfoam fill that you can adjust by removing pieces. Canadian-made alternatives from Silk and Snow, Endy, and Canadian Down and Feather often offer better value with local shipping and trial periods.

What Is MyPillow?
MyPillow is an American pillow brand founded by Mike Lindell in 2004. The pillow uses a patented interlocking polyfoam fill (small pieces of shredded polyurethane foam) inside a cotton cover. The selling point is that you can adjust the fill by adding or removing pieces to change the loft and firmness.
MyPillow became one of the most recognizable pillow brands in North America through heavy television advertising. The company offers several models ranging from the original Classic to the premium Giza line, which uses a longer-staple cotton cover.
The pillow is machine washable and dryable, which is a genuine advantage over many foam pillows. MyPillow recommends tumble drying the pillow for 15 minutes before first use to fully expand the fill.
Buying MyPillow in Canada
Where to Buy
Canadian shoppers have several options for purchasing MyPillow:
- Walmart.ca: Carries select MyPillow models online and occasionally in-store. Prices are in CAD with standard Walmart shipping
- Amazon.ca: Multiple MyPillow models available through third-party sellers. Prices vary, and stock can be inconsistent
- eBay.ca: New and gently used MyPillow options. Prices are often lower, but buyer protections vary
- MyPillow.com: Ships directly to Canada, but orders are charged in USD. Shipping fees apply, and delivery takes longer than domestic orders
Pricing in Canada
MyPillow pricing in Canada depends on where you buy and which model you choose. Here is what you can expect to pay:
| Model | Price Range (CAD) | Where to Buy |
|---|---|---|
| MyPillow Classic | $80 - $95 | Walmart.ca, Amazon.ca |
| MyPillow Premium | $95 - $115 | Amazon.ca, mypillow.com |
| MyPillow Giza Elegance | $110 - $130 | mypillow.com |
| MyPillow Giza Dreams | $120 - $140 | mypillow.com |
Keep in mind that ordering directly from mypillow.com means paying in US dollars. At current exchange rates, a pillow listed at $69.98 USD will cost approximately $95 to $100 CAD before shipping. Shipping to Canada typically adds another $15 to $25 USD.
Currency and Shipping Warning
When ordering from mypillow.com, your credit card will be charged in US dollars. Your bank may also add a foreign transaction fee of 2.5% to 3%. Between the exchange rate, shipping, and potential fees, a MyPillow ordered direct can cost 30% to 40% more than the listed USD price.
Returns from Canada
MyPillow offers a 60-day money-back guarantee on direct orders. However, returning a pillow from Canada to the United States means paying international return shipping, which can cost $20 to $40 CAD depending on the carrier. Purchases through Walmart.ca or Amazon.ca follow those retailers' return policies instead.
Honest MyPillow Review
What We Like
- Adjustable fill: You can open the pillow and remove or add fill pieces to customize the loft. This is genuinely useful
- Machine washable: The entire pillow goes in the washing machine and dryer, unlike most solid foam pillows
- Multiple firmness options: MyPillow comes in different fill levels (white, green, blue, yellow) based on your size and sleep position
- Lightweight: The shredded foam fill is lighter than solid memory foam or latex
What Concerns Us
- Durability questions: Many users report that the shredded polyfoam fill compresses and flattens within 12 to 18 months. The pillow may need to be replaced more frequently than memory foam or latex alternatives
- Inconsistent loft: Because the fill is loose shredded pieces, the pillow can feel lumpy or uneven. You may need to reshape it each night
- Heat retention: Polyurethane foam retains heat, and the shredded fill does not allow much airflow between pieces. Hot sleepers may find it uncomfortable
- No in-store trial in Canada: You cannot try a MyPillow before buying at most Canadian retailers. Pillows are a personal fit, and what works for one person may not work for another
Pillow Fill and Longevity
A 2019 study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science found that pillow material and shape significantly affect cervical spine alignment during sleep. Shredded fill pillows can shift and create uneven support surfaces overnight, which may reduce the consistency of neck support compared to contoured memory foam or moulded latex pillows. The Sleep Foundation recommends replacing pillows every 1 to 2 years, but higher-quality fills like latex can last 3 to 4 years.
MyPillow Models Compared
| Feature | Classic | Premium | Giza Elegance | Giza Dreams |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fill | Interlocking polyfoam | Interlocking polyfoam | Interlocking polyfoam | Interlocking polyfoam |
| Cover | Cotton | Cotton percale | Giza cotton | Giza cotton sateen |
| Firmness Levels | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 |
| Machine Washable | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Price (CAD est.) | $80 - $95 | $95 - $115 | $110 - $130 | $120 - $140 |
| Best For | Budget buyers | Most sleepers | Quality cover feel | Luxury feel |
The main difference between models is the cover fabric, not the fill. All MyPillow models use the same interlocking polyfoam fill. The Giza line uses Egyptian Giza cotton for a softer, smoother cover feel, but the internal support system is identical.
Canadian Pillow Alternatives
If you are looking for pillows in Canada, several Canadian-made brands offer strong competition to MyPillow. These ship domestically (no currency conversion, no customs), and many offer trial periods.
| Brand | Type | Price (CAD) | Trial Period | Made In |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silk and Snow | Gel memory foam | $85 | 365 nights | Canada |
| Endy Pillow | Gel microfibre clusters | $80 - $100 | 365 nights | Canada |
| Douglas Pillow | Shredded memory foam | $79 | 30 nights | Canada |
| Canadian Down and Feather | Goose down | $120 - $250 | 30 nights | Canada |
| Casper Pillow (Canada) | Down alternative | $95 - $140 | 365 nights | Various |
Why Canadian Brands Often Win
- No currency conversion: Prices are listed and charged in Canadian dollars
- Faster shipping: Domestic shipping is typically 3 to 7 business days across Canada
- Easier returns: Returns stay within Canada, which costs less and takes less time
- Trial periods: Many Canadian brands offer 365-night trials, giving you over three months to test the pillow at home
- Local customer service: Canadian phone and email support during your time zone
Brad, Senior Sleep Consultant at Mattress Miracle: "We see a lot of customers who bought pillows online and were not happy. A pillow is very personal. What feels great for one person can feel terrible for another. That is why we encourage people to come in and try pillows on an actual mattress. You can feel the difference in five minutes."
How to Choose the Right Pillow
Whether you are considering MyPillow or another brand, the right pillow depends on your sleep position, body size, and personal comfort preferences. Here is a quick guide:
By Sleep Position
| Sleep Position | Ideal Loft | Ideal Firmness | Best Fill Types |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side Sleeper | 4 to 6 inches | Medium-firm to firm | Memory foam, latex |
| Back Sleeper | 3 to 4 inches | Medium | Memory foam, down, gel foam |
| Stomach Sleeper | Under 3 inches | Soft to medium | Down, thin foam, soft microfibre |
| Combination Sleeper | 3 to 5 inches | Medium | Shredded foam, adjustable fill |
By Fill Material
Each fill type has trade-offs. Memory foam offers the best contouring but retains heat. Down is soft and breathable but compresses over time. Latex is durable and responsive but heavier. Shredded foam (like MyPillow) is adjustable but can feel lumpy.
For a detailed breakdown, see our side sleeper pillow guide, back sleeper pillow guide, and pillow for neck pain guide.
The Advantage of Trying Before You Buy
Online pillow shopping has a fundamental problem: you cannot feel the pillow before it arrives. Trial periods help, but returning a pillow is still a hassle. That is why visiting a store where you can lie down on a mattress and test different pillow types remains the most reliable way to find the right pillow.
At Mattress Miracle in Brantford, we carry memory foam, gel foam, bamboo, charcoal, copper-infused, lavender, and down pillows. You can test them on our showroom mattresses in your preferred sleeping position. Five minutes of hands-on testing tells you more than a hundred online reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you buy MyPillow in Canada?
Yes. MyPillow is available in Canada through Walmart.ca, Amazon.ca, and eBay.ca. You can also order directly from mypillow.com, though orders are charged in USD and shipping fees apply. Most Canadian retailers do not carry MyPillow in physical stores, so you cannot try it before buying.
How much does MyPillow cost in Canada?
MyPillow prices in Canada range from about $80 to $140 CAD depending on the model. The Classic starts around $80 CAD through Walmart or Amazon. The Giza premium lines run $110 to $140 CAD. Ordering direct from mypillow.com means paying in USD plus international shipping.
Is MyPillow good for side sleepers?
MyPillow can work for side sleepers if you choose the firm fill level. However, many side sleepers find that the shredded polyfoam compresses over time and does not maintain the loft needed to support the neck through the night. Contoured memory foam or latex pillows tend to provide more consistent side-sleeping support.
What are good Canadian alternatives to MyPillow?
Strong Canadian alternatives include Silk and Snow pillows ($85 CAD), Endy pillows ($80 to $100 CAD), and Canadian Down and Feather Company products ($120 to $250 CAD).
