I've read in a lot of the comments about these pillows and the bad smell. Is it possilbe to get the bad smell out?

Not sure what bad smell others are talking about, I have not had that experience. Both my pillows are fine, and have no smell, however, when I want an oder out of something I put it in a garbage bag with a bunch of baking soda poured in it and leave it for 3 days, then check it. If I wash something I use vinegar to take smells out. And, yes I've washed down before, the trick is getting it dry. I hang it on the line all day, and it must be a fairly hot day or it won't dry.

I assume they are. My problem with the pillows is they are too fat. If about 1/4 of the feathers would be removed it might be o.k.

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?

Leave it out in the air...Mother Nature has her way of cleansing bad odors quickly. I didn't have an odorproblem with my case but I would do the above if I did. Good luck!

I like the pillow but it's so doused with chemicals....probably a lot of formaldehyde ..that it wreaks for months...i would stay clear...

In my experiences with the foam mattresses and pillows, they all have a sort of chemical/packaging odor. It goes away by itself, you just have to let it air out for a few days, then it is completely gone. I don't recommend sleeping on it until then, but it really does go away.I don't know where you are located or what the weather is like, but you could put it outside during the day to help expedite the process. Really though, don't let the smell be the factor in not buying it. We ordered three different foam mattresses from three different places as well as foam pillows and they all had the same odor and in all of them, the smell completely vanished.

I don't remember a strong odor, and used the pillow within a week of its arrival. So, I would suggest within a week or two.

I have washed one of these pillows once - I simply soaked it in cold water an Woolite. Then put it on a towel and gently press the water out - didn't squeeze or wring. I air dried in the sun, gently fluffing occasionally and it came out very nicely. For a baby, you might think about a water resistant case to cut down on washings.

I would not do it since the cover is not removable. Also these pillows are pretty thick so it may take a while to dry. I gently wash with soap and sponge the top, trying to not wet too much the pillow and let it dry on the sun.

use some laveder trimings put them in a pillow case with the pillow. I am sure it will absorbe and alter the scent of the pillow

I'm sorry but you didn't buy them from me. But I do recommend throwing them in the dryer on low heat with a dryer sheet. See if that works. the reason why I say you did not buy them from me is because I haven't sold any pillows on Amazon yet. thank you

I have a floor drying fan that I placed the pillow in front of for about an hour then flipped it over and let it run for about another hour. Did the trick for me, may need to run longer if the smell is still there.

I have never washed the pillows. I wash only the pillow cases so I can't help you with this.

It is just fabric so I would not think it would have that much of a shield from scents. Those foam pillows can be pretty smelly, I'm still airing one out after about 2mos.

I wasn't uncomfortable sleeping with the cloud pillow from the first night but for me I would say it took a week for the pillow to fully mould to my head/neck and for this weird smell that came with it to go away. I read all the pillows have a smell when you first open it but it does go away. i just febreezed my pillow in the beginning. Also for some reason this winter my room has been very cold (my bed next to a window) so my pillow gets frozen like it doesn't mold right away so I put

Hi Seth, I have no idea as I am merely someone who purchased the pillows. I will tell you though that if you end up ordering them and they smell send them back right away! I washed them and the smell almost 100% went away but they still smell weird. The pillows are very plush and and not as malleable as other down pillows I have. In conclusion, if they didn't smell I would have given the pillow 5 stars.

My chair didn't have an odor after unpacking it. Maybe use an air purifier next to it for a few days. I had to do that with my foam pad for my bed. That really had a bad smell. Hope this helps.....You could probably air it outside for 24 hours too.
