A man has gone viral after sharing a video of a pillow for sale that is no thicker than “a napkin”.

David Bernstein, from California, was shopping in the 99-cent store in Los Angeles when he came across a bin of pillows.

Priced at £2.46 ($2.99) for one, the stack of bedding was labelled “Sleep Well at Night”.

With a “soft cotton cover” the pillow measures 20 inches by 26 inches.

Sharing the clip on TikTok (@realtor.bernstein), he quickly gained over 1.3m views.

“I happened to notice they had a big thing of pillows,” the 39-year-old said.

“It is the flattest pillow ever!

“It’s like a napkin.”

Posting the video on TikTok he gathered over 62,000 likes and hundreds of comments.

Krystal said: “Wrapping is wrong. It's actually a Maxi pad.”

Araceli commented: “flatter than my ass.”

“The audacity to say sleep well at night,” commented someone else.

“that's a jail pillow,” wrote Lucero. [sic]

Another person added: “Air pump sold separately.”

Posting a follow-up video, which gained 17,700 views, David shows an open pillow package.

The pillow has grown slightly, with David saying “It’s still skinny, it’s still a napkin, it’s still a maxi pad.

“Maybe it puffed up by two inches.”
