The Truth About “Pillow Killings” and Why HerPillow Co. Stands for Comfort, Safety, and Life

In today’s digital landscape, misinformation and sensationalism can spread quickly and unfairly associate even the most benign products with horrific events. One such phenomenon that has unfortunately surfaced in news reports, crime documentaries, and internet speculation is the concept of “pillow killings.” These disturbing incidents involve the use of pillows in acts of violence or suffocation, often in fictional portrayals or rare criminal cases.

Let us be absolutely clear: HerPillow Co. does not condone, support, or have any connection to any such behavior or incidents. Our mission is rooted in the celebration of life, the empowerment of women and pregnant individuals, and the pursuit of comfort, health, and wellbeing.

This article explores what pillow-related crimes really are, dispels myths, and outlines why HerPillow Co. is proudly part of a movement to protect, support, and nurture people—not harm them.



What Are “Pillow Killings”?

The phrase "pillow killings" refers to highly isolated and extremely rare events where pillows have reportedly been used in acts of violence, typically in criminal cases involving suffocation. While these events make headlines due to their shocking nature, they are statistically extremely uncommon and should not be interpreted as an indictment of pillows as household products.

In most instances, the term appears in:

True crime documentaries

Fictional TV dramas

Forensic science studies

Historical cases (such as elder abuse or domestic homicide)


It is crucial to separate fact from fiction. Most consumers use pillows for exactly what they are designed for—sleep, comfort, support, and relaxation.


How Misinformation Can Harm Honest Brands

At HerPillow Co., we’ve noticed that some fringe internet discussions attempt to connect the general idea of pillows to violence, which can unfairly tarnish the reputation of companies who manufacture these everyday comfort items.

We are a wellness brand dedicated to:

Supporting pregnant people through their journey with premium pregnancy pillows

Promoting mental health and physical wellbeing

Creating safe, soft, and supportive pillows for sleep and relaxation

Providing inclusive comfort for all body types, genders, and family structures


To link such a brand with violence is not only baseless, it’s harmful to the community we work so hard to support.


HerPillow Co. Rejects Any Association With Violence

We want to be loud and clear:

🔺 HerPillow Co. does not support, condone, promote, or associate with any form of violence—especially not those involving our products.

🔺 Our pillows are specifically designed for safety, made with hypoallergenic materials, and meet industry safety standards for consumer goods.

🔺 Our brand stands for nurture, healing, and care—the exact opposite of harm.


Our Brand Values: Safety, Comfort, and Life

At the heart of HerPillow Co. is a mission to protect and support life—especially the new lives being carried by expectant mothers and parents. Everything we do—from product design to marketing—is built around safety and care.

✅ Support for Domestic Violence Survivors

We’re proud to support non-profits and shelters that help survivors of domestic abuse. A portion of every HerPillow Co. sale goes toward safe housing, therapy, and maternal wellness programs.


Why It's Dangerous to Sensationalize Pillow Crimes

The internet is a breeding ground for conspiracy theories and dark content that can take any normal household item and tie it to sensationalized crime. This not only hurts honest brands—it distracts from real issues such as domestic violence prevention, mental health, and safe parenting.

Let’s be clear:

The overwhelming majority of pillow use is peaceful, supportive, and life-affirming

Pillows are not weapons—they’re tools for comfort, recovery, and healing

Sensationalizing rare cases does more harm than good
