Because of the launch of the website, Lindell said the company would change the layout of its Shakopee factories.
Lindell said about 150 employees are expected to be laid off.
"I value each and every one of my employees so this is a difficult decision, however this is what is best right now for the future of MyPillow and to prepare for the launch of MyStore.com. Once MyStore is up and running, we anticipate we will be hiring," he said in a statement.
