Minnesota pillow magnate Mike Lindell ‘s company is being sued in federal court yet again. And, in a strikingly similar turn of events, MyPillow is being accused of significant unpaid debts while its founder and CEO is accused of trying to skirt the subject.
On Aug. 30, Extend, Inc. submitted an 11-page filing , inclusive of exhibits, with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiffs describe themselves as a “company that helps merchants offer customers shipping and product protection.”
According to their lawsuit, MyPillow owes them $564,151.39.
And the once-popular pillow company has allegedly been delinquent on those purported debts — in repeat fashion — for quite some time.

“In November 2022, My Pillow and Extend entered into a contract under which Extend would provide My Pillow’s customers with certain shipping and product protection services in exchange for a percentage of revenues generated by the sale of those services,” the lawsuit reads.
Well over a year passed, however, and certain debts owed to the San Francisco-based company remain unpaid, according to the lawsuit.
“In March 2024, My Pillow was overdue on amounts it owed to Extend under the Agreement,” the original petition continues. “And so, on March 29, 2024, the parties entered into a Termination Agreement under which the Agreement was terminated.”
At the time of the termination agreement, MyPillow allegedly agreed to pay down their debt in five separate increments and totals.
This payback arrangement was supposed to have begun in April — with a $75,000 payment from MyPillow to Extend — and ended in June with a payment of some $53,000 plus “any additional amount due and owing under the Agreement related to the sale of Extend services during the month of March 2024,” according to the lawsuit.
That nebulous “additional amount,” the lawsuit says, was later determined to equal upward of $110,000. And, the company claims, in early April they sent along a “spreadsheet detailing the transactions that account for the amounts shown on the invoice.”
More time passed, the lawsuit says, and the efforts to collect went mostly nowhere — despite some alleged lip service from Lindell himself.
The complaint details a series of debt collection efforts:
In May 2024, after My Pillow failed to make any of the payments under the Termination Agreement, outside counsel for Extend sent a letter to My Pillow to demand payment.
After repeated further inquiries, Mike Lindell, Chief Executive Officer of My Pillow, emailed on June 23, 2024 that he “[w]ill connect this week.” But Mr. Lindell did not connect, and never did.
Further, My Pillow has ignored repeated inquiries and demand for payment since June 2024 and has not paid any of the amounts due under the Termination Agreement.
Extend is suing MyPillow for breach of contract. Their lawsuit seeks compensatory damages, legal costs, and interest.
On Tuesday, the court issued a summons to MyPillow and set a brief schedule: a statement on negotiations is due by Nov. 27, and an initial conference is currently slated for Dec. 4.
The shipping costs lawsuit, of course, is not the first time Lindell and MyPillow have been accused of welching on their debts — an apparent knock-on effect of Lindell personally and loudly maintaining that certain conspiracies cost Donald Trump the 2020 election.
In another long-running lawsuit, Lindell Management LLC has been repeatedly rebuked by the courts for its refusal to pay the winner of a “Prove Mike Wrong” challenge.
In that disastrous contest, engineer Robert Zeidman — himself a supporter of Trump — picked up the poly-foam gauntlet thrown down by the one-time QVC star . Despite severe doubts about his own abilities, Zeidman bested Lindell over false claims about election data.
In March , a Minnesota county judge ruled against MyPillow in an eviction hearing — finding that the company owed over $200,000 in unpaid rent for a warehouse in Shakopee.
In October 2023, Lindell himself confirmed that MyPillow had been “decimated” by the defamation lawsuits that Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic filed against several pro-Donald Trump figures who insisted the voting machine companies orchestrated a plot to hand the 2020 election to President Joe Biden. As a result of being one such voice, Lindell said, his company had “lost hundreds of millions of dollars.”
Law&Crime reached out to Lindell for comment on the lawsuit filed in the Northern District of California, but no response was immediately forthcoming at the time of publication.
