Hello, we just let ours air out and it took a few days but now they are fine. That's how it worked for us and hopefully the same for you.

Mine also smelled horrible. I didn't wash them, but left them to air out. It took about a month before they didn't stink.

Do NOT wash the whole pillow! You can take the covers off and wash them if you like, but I would suggest putting all four pillows outside in the fresh air for a day, that should eliminate the smell, it worked for my two. Or you can put them one at a time in the dryer on air only with a dryer sheet, but I preferred to just let the fresh air and sun do the job.

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 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

Very slight nondescript smell that vanished quickly .It could have been from the cover that came seperately. The smaller pillow we bought a year and a half earlier and others had no oder. You might want to question the US dept of Agriculture about what theyre using to fumigate the containers that these ship in.

I had that smell at first as well. But based on other reviews I knew to expect that. I would squeeze it a couple of times a day to get fresh air through the pillow and let it air out before I started using it and within a week the smell went away.

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.

Hi, the one I bought has the same smell. I think that's normal. It does not bother me.

I never checked for a "smell" when I received mine. I just automatically air anything like that when I get it for a couple of days. If there was a smell, it was gone in that short time. The pillows are wonderful, by the way.

No chemical smell but the pillows are not standard, they are small, I bought four, needless to say they are no longer in use, they are comfortable but really small

I wouldn't wash it. If anything you should hand wash it. And nope, mine didn't smell!

Nope, no smell. I'm very sensitive to that sort of thing and have had no problems. I love, love, love the pillow.

I do not detect the odor that you are smelling with my pillow. I have used buckwheat pillows for many years now and never had any problems as such. This pillow has been superior to any I have had before so I don't know what to tell you. Have you contacted the company that makes it? Maybe they can help? Sorry I can't be if more help. Good luck.

I didn't notice any smell at all. I washed the pillow case right away and used the pillow from day one. Never any smell.

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...

The smell might be that of natural cotton. I do smell that from mine (which we just got) and nothing else.

The pillow smells new and has the foam odor, but anything you buy made of this material will smell. I unzipped the cover, just opened it a bit, let it air for little over 24 hrs. I then used it, but the smell lingers slightly for a few days to be honest. I simply repeated the process when not sleeping for those few days then the pillow was fine. It is well worth the little time needed to air it out. Wonderful sleeping companion!

Hello. I am Maggie, the owner of ComfyComfy and the original sewer of the pillows. I do not recommend washing the pillow because it is made of 100% cotton and it will shrink after washing. I suggest putting a pillowcase over it as you would with any of the pillow, or buy a pillow protector with a zipper and put a regular pillowcase over. Be sure that it is cotton to maintain the breathability of the pillow. Regrets for the delay in replying!

I have had mine for many months & the minty smell is very faint but it's seems to be holding up very well. I do alternate it with another pillow but it seems like it will last a long time
