Does that horrible smell go away eventually?

what smell? mine had a faint new smell, nothing bad. just smelled like packaging for a few days but that happens to everything

I let it sit out of the plastic for several weeks rotating it during that time. Since I already had the pillow case to the old pillow I decided to double pillow case it and have been using it ever since and have had no problems. I am extremely sensitive to stuff and others may not be as sensitive to the packing materials as I am. I love this pillow and for me it was worth all I had to do. Hope this helps!

The instructions are to take the pillow cover off and let it air out for 2-3 days before use. We did that and the smell went away. Expose it so all you see is the foam material and let it air out.

I just bought mine and turns out the majority of the bad smell upon unpacking it had settled into the removable velour pillow case. Washing the case immediately and letting the pillow itself continue to air near a window really helped to make it usable the first night. It had a faint, noticeable smell again by the next morning, but nowhere near as bad as when first opened. More airing and changing pillow cases every day the first few days should eliminate the remaining odor fairly quickly.

I couldn't use mine for nearly 6 months because of the smell. Now after using baking soda and lots of fresh air it has no smell and I love it.l

Ugh! It reeks like a paint pen! (which stinks b/c it feels SO comfortable!) I'm airing it out with the cover off for a couple days as suggested below and I'll report back regarding the smell!

yes, the smell at first is normal, butit will fade away. I don't think it will last long. use a fan if you can, furnace, ceiling,free standing or light a candle

The smell is temporary - may be 30-45 days.You could get rid of it quicker, if you leave it under the sun in your backyard during the day when you go to work and take it back after sunset. If you do that 4-5 times, you may get rid of 70-80% of the smell in a week.

It goes away after some time. Ours no longer smells but it was a few months time before that happened. If you have a garage you could place it in to air it out for awhile or place it outside if you live in a warmer weather state.

The smell went away for me after about a day or two. I also wiped down the whole chair.

With it being a new item, it may take a little while for the smell to go away. You could probably take a very lightly dampened cloth with fabreeze and wipe it down to see if that helps a little.

The smell is bad, but it goes away quickly in a well ventilated area. My suggestion would be to fluff it daily and turn it over daily until the smell dissipates.

Yes, it will take a day or two of ventilation, but it will go away. I experienced this a few years ago.

After airing it out for 48 hours as recommended. It still had quite the strong smell. So one weekend when I was away. I stripped away my bed ppened the bedroom window and aired out over the weekend. Now the odor is considerably less still there but cry mild and much less annoying.

YES... it smells horrible. I have to keep washing my mouse hand to make the smell go away. We'll see if the smell dissipates with time.

It does at first. I had to let it sit out of the cover for a couple of days, and once I did that, it was fine. I can't smell anything now.

It will dissipate after some time. I let mine sit outside for a day in fresh air. The odor will fade.

At first yes but I left mines outside to air out for about an hour or less and once I put it on it took a day or two for the smell to be completely gone

I haven't had that issue. Maybe try vinegar to neutralize any smell and then your regular detergent.

Mine does, so I'm pretty sure yours will, too. Put a few laundry sheets in with your laptop to get rid of the smell. It does go away, but after months!

More than likly the smell isn't gone entirly. You have just gotten use to it and don't notice it any more. Same thing with mine.

No, unfortunately not :( I will say that after months of daily use and handwashing, the smell has subsided to such a degree that I have to press my nose against the base to smell it.
