I have another type now with flax for buckwheat in it but I hate the smell when I heat it up. Does this one give off any oders?

I have had that "other" type too, and you're correct, they do not smell good! I love this one. It does NOT smell when heated. In addition, you can take the cover off of it and wash it. I hope my answer helps!!

It smells like cooked rice. It is a comfy smell, and after you take it off the smells dissipates

It's an aromatherapy neck pillow so it has an herbal smell. Which is not unpleasant when heated.

No smell intially... only food smells after using you can just wipe it and then air it and the smell will go away...

I love mine and I don't have this issue. It diffuses a smell the entire time. Maybe check the oil grades you use. I use 100% plant grade oils which are strong.

I didn't really notice a smell with mine but as someone else mentioned my first item wasn't mild like oatmeal. I usually wash mine in the top drawer of the dishwasher.

No, mine didn't. I did order an extra bag of the buck wheat which I added to the pillow. I smelled no vinegar though and I have a sensitive smeller.

No and yes. It is filled with buckwheat hulls so washing would make the dry hulls soggy and awful.. so, cut a hole in the end and pour out the filling. Wash the now empty sock tube anyway you want then reassemble and whipstitch the hole closed. I add lavender to the hull mix and refill. This refreshes everything. Funny mfg wouldn't have a similar solution.

I talked to customer service about the awful smell. They said it's bc it is pure and has not been refined. It is normal for the pure oil to smell this way. I agree tho, it stinks.

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!

I am not a Prime Member and I purchase buckwheat all the time. I love the taste and it is gluten free, which is what I enjoy. Hope this helps. Be sure to mix the raw buckwheat with a scrambled egg before cooking. Otherwise, it will be very mushy.

From my online research the fishy smell is normal for pure rosehip seed oil, mine is the same in odor. I store it in the fridge and that seems to neutralize the odor somewhat

It does have a bit of a smell, not much. But, IMHO, it doesn't work with a darn. I tried it 2-3 times and ended up throwing it out. I bought some chemical handwarmers instead. Very warm, no smell. Best of luck.

I would not recommend washing it with the buckwheat in it, as you're going to get it wet and ruin it. It's a fantastic pillow, the best one I've ever owned.

No. Not to me. I'm pleased with the smell. I think olive oil has a worse smell and I've still used it. I sauté foods and rub meats with it. It is thicker, but I keep it refridgerated so it takes a minute to thin out. Hope this helps.

I've been using Buckwheat for 20 + years... my last one was good for 10 years. I just replaced it cause i thought it was time.

The smell was not bad on mine, but if it were, I would wipe it down with a solution of 3:1 white vinegar and water. Hope this helps.

Mine doesn't have any noticeable smell. It sits against the side of an outdoor shed, but my yard is an acre, so maybe someone else will better answer. When I add kitchen waste I try to make an indent in my pile so it's covered up--that probably helps with there not being a smell

Does linseed oil have any sort of odor/smell while wet or after drying? Also, I have heard that the flaxseed oil you can find in stores will not fully polymerize but turn rancid overtime. How is this different? Thank you!
