The cover is 100% cotton; the filling is 100% buckwheat hulls. And once again, I most highly recommend this pillow. Takes a bit to get used to it, but once you do - no more neck pain!

I don't think there was any form of cotton inside. I think the bag/case (which is holding the buckwheat hulls) is made with 100% natural unbleached cotton. You might want to check with the seller.

Although my quilt is packed away until summer, I remember that it is not 100% cotton. I believe it is a combination of cotton and synthetic. Maybe fill is cotton and fabric is polyester or the other way around.

I haven't tried, but how did you open the pillow? The filling feels nice and fluffy, but couldn't tell you what's inside there. After 4 straight days of use, the filling is just as fluffy as it was brand new.

I guess it would depend on environmental factors; how often it was used, how quickly the buckwheat broke down, etc. but also how firm you like the pillow. I was able to take a freezer bags worth of buckwheat out of mine, and can use that as replacement kernels when the time comes. So who knows? How often does a regular pillow last? 10+ years? I would bet that the buckwheat could last that long or more.

Mr.O'Malley- I am not sure what the materials are in this pillow other than to say that they are obviously man-made. That includes the cover. The pillow is also listed on eBay where you can write the seller and possibly get an answer to your question. Hope this helps.

The details are given in the product description, here they are:- 100% Organic Cotton- Made in USA- Free of phthalates, vinyl, nontoxic polyurethane foam- Includes 100% cotton cover.It had a very faint smell. I aired it outside for about 30min and the smell was gone. It is actually a very good mattress. I would recommend it.

My buckwheat pillow is filled with 5 lbs. of 100% organic buckwheat husks. I doubt that a product that qualifies as 100% organic is going to be chemically treated. The question about unfumigated would have to be posed to the manufacturer.

That synthetic cotton it says 100% polyester fill that is thick soft white fluff but in a large quantity firm . Like what they use to fill large stuff animals. Hope that helps

The package is marked: Organic buckwheat hulls. I am very please with them and can highly recommend them as well as the pillows which Amazon is selling. I had purchased them before and like the buckwheat pills. I bought the hulls since my friend wanted more filling. I was fine with them and there was also no getting used the time. They were great right from the start.

The material of the actual pillow is 100% polyester. I was very disappointed as I had read it was 100% organic cotton but that is only the pillow case, allegedly. Pillow overheats because of the polyester and can be very uncomfortable though this kinda helps on cold nights. Even though the cover is said to be organic cotton, it doesn't feel very soft and might as well be some other material. But maybe my skin is just too sensitive. I now have to wrap pillow w other sheets because the "organic" cover irritates me or maybe it is the polyester. Either way, although pillow is comfortable and helps w sleep, it is not worth it because material makes it uncomfortable.

Yes, 100% Kapok. There's a zipper on the pillow so you can add more kapok to make it firmer or take out some kapok to make it softer. You can even remove all the kapok and clean the pillow casing if you want. Kapok has a lot more bulk than polyester so it doesn't tend to flatten out as much and is more supportive. I visited the factory in Chicago where they make these pillows so I can confirm the fill material. It's a high quality product. The optional cotton cover is also high quality construction and recommended.

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 pillow is natural and organic. As a company, I believe they try to avoid harmful chemicals. You may call their customer service number 714-541-3510 to find out for sure.

I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to be sure that this pillow is 100% organic. I can say that I absolutely love the pillow, as does my husband, but I cannot vouch for it being absolutely organic. I did a little sleuthing and found it difficult to actually find the company that makes this pillow. Here's a URL that I found with some information. I hope it helps. http://www.trademarkia.com/zen-chi-85581562.html
