Does this pillowcase smell? I want to get two for my mom, but she said she hates the smell of silk. Do these cases have any kind of smell at all?

I have not smelled anything from the pillowcase. She could always wash them in woolite with cold water and use Downy softener in the washer to give them a fresh, appealing aroma.

I smell absolutely nothing even from the moment I took it out of the packaging and through several washes.

No, they have no odor...and my husband has accused me of having an overly sensitive ability to smell odors! Ha! I did wash them first in cold water before using them.

They had a little bit of a plastic smell from the package but that went away quickly and I haven't noticed any other sort of smell from them.

Thanks for the reply. I found it surprising that it comes with no pillowcases (judging from the product's picture).

I haven't noticed an odor, but it has a pretty heavy zip cover and I put it in a pillowcase as well so maybe that helps if there is an odor. As for it getting hot, I sleep so well and so sound due to this gel memory foam pillow and the gel memory foam mattress topper I am unaware if it gets hot. If it does get hot it certainly is not noticeable enough to disrupt my sleep.

Do NOT wash the whole pillow! You can take the covers off and wash them if you like, but I would suggest putting all four pillows outside in the fresh air for a day, that should eliminate the smell, it worked for my two. Or you can put them one at a time in the dryer on air only with a dryer sheet, but I preferred to just let the fresh air and sun do the job.

I think that's a question for the manufacturer. I strongly doubt it's silk thread. I'm a seamstress and I can't tell. Nothing lasts forever! I'm very happy with the pillow case. I've been hand washing it and line drying, but I just put it through the regular washer and dryer and it came out beautifully. I would imagine doing that on a regular basis would break down the silk sooner. I'll probably have different colored sheets by then! I plan to buy more cases as gifts - they're a great buy!

I have two of these mattress toppers and neither had a lasting odor. All odor was gone after letting it air out in another room for one day. Absolutely love these and have ordered one for my mom.

Sad to say, I still detect that rubbery smell and I've wondered myself if it will completely leave. I'm not real convinced it will. I've put mine in a light flannel pillowcase and most of the time I'm not aware of the smell now. Makes you worry about fumes, though doesn't it?

This seller (Feeling Pampered) is an importer, as is mentioned in their profile. I wash my pillowcases before putting them on the bed. I don't baby the pillowcases; they get washed & dried on medium along with other bedding & I use my normal detergent. They come out perfectly & hold up very well. Silk only 'feels' delicate; it's actually hardy!

No it has micro beads and they have a chemical smell. It took about two months before the smell went away and I could use the pillow. Once the smell was gone it was really comfy and I could enjoy.

I just waited 24 hours and then put the pillow protector and the pillowcase, mine wasn't that smelly. And trust me I smell like dogs do! Maybe You should rubber it with softener sheets

Very slight nondescript smell that vanished quickly .It could have been from the cover that came seperately. The smaller pillow we bought a year and a half earlier and others had no oder. You might want to question the US dept of Agriculture about what theyre using to fumigate the containers that these ship in.

Not at all!! The pillow case is very high quality, heavy fabric, custom sewn, with a concealed zipper. I recommend this pillow.

I do not personally have any extra pillowcases. I would suggest you google the brand and look for retail stores in your area. You might have some luck at overstock.com. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I am sorry I won't be much help - my silk comforter did not have any odor! My guess would be that the plastic bag the comforter was packed in probably held in any odors (no telling how long that comforter had been sitting in a warehouse). My suggestion - spread it outside for a day and see if Mother Nature takes care of it for you!

No it does not. when it arrives it might smell like the plastic protective cover, but just air it out and then no smell. I'm sensitive to odors and this is one odorless pillow.

I just found this message. Sorry if its late...Moth balls are for silk. To keep the moths from eating it.I did not notice any strange smell. It could be where it was stored.

Our pillow had NO smell what so ever. Something is definately wrong with yours. Return it. I would not use it. We have had no problem with Beans72. Infact, we ordered additional hulls to replace hulls in an old pillow. No smell...ever!
