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.

I've owned it about 8 months and put it into a special allergan cover that removes the need to wash. I washed my last one(Different Company) and it turned into a petri dish. I would remove the buckwheat if I were to wash it. The owners/manufacturers are really cool and VERY quality oriented. They can probably help you better. But, whatever you do, you MUST BUY this pillow. It's the best! They even wrap it up in a nice big bow, because they really care. I'm a HUGE fan! Robert

Yes, it is washable. I've washed it a few times. I line dry it though. I haven't noticed it "sleeping hot" and I've used it for two years now.

Yes, it's washable. I've washed mine a few times and it comes out good as new. Hope this helps.

I don't think the whole pillow is washable....there's a small zipper on the handle side where you can remove the stuffing & then wash the pillow itself....the stuffing looks like polyester clumps...I wouldn't want to try to takeout the filler to wash the pillow & expect to put it back & still be the same shape

Yes, it's washable. I suggest just hand washed it as needed, I put mine in the washer(delicate) and started to fall out...

Deborah is exactly right! I've been using these pillows for more than 15 years, and the quality and life of the pillow has declined substantially over that time. I've bought new ones every few years. The old ones lasted much, much longer than do the current ones.

It's machine washable, but it might cause the stuffing to clump in some places. Not really noticeably, though. I also washed all the pillows at some point.

I just made the purchase. It was for my husband and he gave me his review. I have not yet tried to clean the pillow.

The pillow starts to shred when washed. You might get a few washings before that happens, but not too many.

The cover is not waterproof. The pillow could be washed if you have a big enough washer.

The pillow is washable, but the cover does not come off. You can buy separate pillow cases.

I've had mine for quite a while (over a year). The fabric appears delicate but if you treat it right, I believe it should last maybe 3 years if not more if you dry clean it instead of machine wash.

No, you can only wipe it off. They come with a outside zippered pillow that you can wash. I put one of my in the washer and a lot of the little beads came out. But, this us still the best pillow that I have ever owned, I am addicted to sleeping with one of these pillows. I have 4 of them currently, I take one on vacation when I go. It is the best pillow I have ever owned. I wish I could buy a mattress made with the insides of the pillow.

All I know for sure is that you can replace or add to the buckwheat and the outside, of course, is washable. They say that the buckwheat gets 'beaten down' after a while and needs replacement. I love this pillow. It's very heavy but it cradles your head so nicely and you never have to re-bunch it up, once you've got it set. (My brother and my daughter also love this pillow.)

great question. This bath pillow lasted longer than any previous one but only 5 months and I mostly shower. i would say it lasted 30 baths.

You can spot clean the actual pillow with a mild detergent. It is not machine washable or machine dryable.

My chiropractor told me to replace it every 2 years. He recommended that I write a date on it, so that I know when it has been two years. I put mine in an allergy free zippered case and then in a regular pillow case, so that I don't have to wash the actual pillow, Washing, even by hand, increases wear.
