“Yellow pillow” discourse blew up overnight on X this weekend, appalling women across the platform and vindicating thousands of men who say they sleep better on the stained yellow pillows they’ve kept for ages. It all started when this guy, Cam (@largemotorcycle) posted a pic of his yellow pillow…

Within the discourse has also emerged a clear gender divide, with mostly men claiming an emotional attachment to their yellow pillows and women questioning whether they know how to throw a pillow in the wash.
