Are all materials in the pillow organic? What foam is blended in with the hulls? I do not want foam as it often contains harmful chemicals.

The original pillow I got was only hulls. I guess some people felt it wasn't soft enough (frankly I didn't mind it at all - as I have used a buckwheat pillow before). I just recently received a bag of foam to incorporate with the hulls to make the pillow softer. I didn't notice any "ingredient" information on the package. I haven't done actually mixed my foam yet. This said, I'd bet you could request only hulls.

Jaclyn: The hulls are the best available in North America, triple cleaned, dust-free, and grown without herbicides and pesticides: organic. The pillow is available will hulls only if you specify in your order comments. The foam (3 percent by weight) has been added to improve the characteristics and performance of the pillow for most people. It makes the pillow softer, more comfortable, lighter, and more stable. That said, there are thousands of happy customers who enjoy the pillow without foam. Currently we are using 100% polyurethane foam (shredded). In about 6 weeks we will start using Preserve brand foam from HSM Solutions, which is soybean oil based foam. That is not available at this time.

The hulls are buckwheat..I don't know if they are organic....they come in a separate bag from the foam. You do not need to use the foam. The first pillow I had was buckwheat only and I was happy with that. The second pillow came with foam also for those people that wanted a little softness. You could mix as much foam as you wanted to make the pillow softer.

Not sure. Sorry. Not overly happy with pillow. Kind of uncomfortable and noisy.

Jaclyn - there is no foam blended with the hulls. They also include extra hulls for the pillow. I am not certain as to whether the cover is made from all organic materials or not.

I don't remember what it is made of, Sorry. It is one of the most comfortable pillows I have ever slept on. Both my daughter and son have one, and I steal theirs all the time. Even an 11 year old would love one!!

Hello Mira, Thanks for your interest in our products. As principle, we, at Bio Sleep Concept are using only "All Natural" and "Organic" components for our final products. In the case of the 3" Wool Topper, the cover is made out of 100% certified organic cotton cover, filled with Eco Valley pure wool. There is no spray of any kind on any of our products. What may happen, as the wool is totally pure and natural, is that the first few days after receiving the topper, you may smell the wool. This odor disappears very quickly. We receive the batch of wool from our North West growers and we card it in our shop. If the wool is very fresh, the smell may be more obvious for a small while. To finish, all of our products are chemical free and are never sprayed of anything. Please, do not hesitate to contact us for any more questions on our products. Sincerely, CM

This mattress has inorganic components, such as the springs and structural sides. If you want the safety and durability of a traditional crib mattress with as much organic material incorporated as possible, I highly recommend this product. We have been using it for over a year.

It says its made from food grade material so shouldn't have any of those things. Also says BPA Free, Phthalate Free, Latex Free, Lead Free. I researched forever before I bought this! No EVA foam, PVC, or formaldehyde for us! We love it! Takes awhile to flatten out, but no big deal.

I can't say for sure that it's 100% organic, but the colgate website boasts that it's "Made with Certi-PUR-US® certified, ecologically friendlier foam made from plant oils." You can call their customer service number on their website to get more details. We love this mattress. It has no chemical smell and my son falls asleep immediately in it. Hope this helps.

I am unaware of any chemicals used on the husks. The product is advertised as 100% organic, which I would take to be free of chemicals. I have taken the husks out of the pillow in order to wash the cover and noticed no odd odors or colors.

I think if a company says they are 100% organic pillows and they lie, they are breaking a law. I don't know if they are GMO. I love the pillows and I covered them with an allergy 100% organic cotton cover, and a 100% organic cotton pillow case.If you BUY one and bring it for testing, please let me know if they were lying about organics.

The foam is dense. I put it under a mattress cover to protect it from liquids and myself from the used mattress. I sleep comfortable with it. It is much better than the egg carton type.

It is plastic... But, since it isn't something that you open and close on a regular basis at all(no need to), it should stay in tact just fine... I really would not make that a reason to not buy the pillow...

It did have a slight odor. More clean, new materials, than chemical, though. The foam is more of pillow filling that was odorless. The entire bed comes apart and is washable if that helps at all.

Hello,The Washable line is all 'Natural' - not treated with chemicals, but not certified 'organic'. Sleep & Beyond has an Organic version of this, made of Merino wool, but it is not washable. Thank you,One Stop Mommy

Not innerspring and not foam exactly it's the food grade, non off gassing polypropylene, I believe.

If the pillow ships with the foam, pre-blended with the hulls, how do you separate the foam from the hulls if you do not want to use the foam?

I think is the fiber foam used to make pillows that is found in most craft stores. The material is a light cotton material. My daughter just loves it. She has used one through 2 pregnancies.

Some of the foam is made using organic soybean oil but I would not consider this mattress to be organic.

Happy to answer this question as I am presently laying on mine! 2nd pregnancy and sure wish I had it the first time! I already cut my tags off so I can't type the exact material blend but the cover seems to be a cotton blend and the inside pillow seems to be a standard Batting filler. Like the cotton mix that you can buy from fabric stores when making pillows.
