Not sure if this counts as a freebie or not as you do have to return an old pillow in its place… good way to get rid of a grungy old one though.

mod - added states to title

When I was a lad we DREAMED of sleeping on bricks. We had to use land mines.

+1 voteThere was one better in Adelaide a few weeks ago - SA Lotteries was doing a promotion about winning the lotto and taking a siesta - so they were handing out free pillows at the railway station. Was a little surreal walking around town with every second person having a pillow tucked under their arm!

If you're that keen maybe you exchange an old pillow, go down to the car park, pick up another old pillow, try to change the expression on your face, hope that they don't recognise you, and do another exchange. ;)
-3 votessash: What can I do for you?
wonga: I need to know where I can get some free pillows.
sash: free pillows? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? pillows! Wonga, there's four places. There's the Pillow Hut, that's on fifth.
wonga: Uh-huh.
sash: There's Pillows-R-Us, that's on fifth too. You got Put-Your-Head-There.
wonga: Mm-Hmm.
sash: That's on fifth. Snore Low, Sweet Chariot… Matter of fact, they're all in the same district; it's the homewares district on fifth.
wonga: Oh, the homewares precinct!
sash: That's right.

good work! :)
+6 votesFunny they advertise their pillows as being washable and now they are printing "use by" dates on them (each way bet?). Next they'll make self destructing ones so "we'll know when to buy a new one" ;-)
From their website: Register Your Pillow - "By completing this pillow registration, you are confirming you would like to receive a reminder informing you when your pillow may not be so fresh anymore." lol
Kmart have Tontine pillows on special from today. 3pack Medium feel/height is $15 ($5 per pillow). Other varieties are $15 per 2pack.
OK, so I went with 2 others to Doncaster in VIC and they said they're out of stock.
What happened to one person one pillow? Out the window. I saw an old couple walking around holding 6 new pillows and 3 old ones. They told me they brought 9 old pillows and got the last six.The Tontine rep said they'd have more at 1430hrs.
Let's hope I get some then… .Went back traded 3 grungy old ones for 1.
It pays to be a senior citizen, they changed like 3 as a couple.
But for me, they held firm for 1 to 1.- +1 votegreenpossum on 23/10/2010 - 09:39 ¶
Fair doesn't come into it. It's their money and their goal is to maximise publicity for money spent. Whether or not they achieved that is a different question, but it's not a question of fairness.

I didn't go get a pillow, too far away for me. But a pillow exchange is not a civil right.
