Just received my comfy little pillow..but it smells funny. I washed the cover, do you use a fire retardant on the pillow?

I aired my pillow for a day before I used it only because I had read that there might be an odor. I did not notice any odor and I use a pillow case over it. I love this pillow!

I have found that memory foam does have a smell at first but goes away fairly quickly if you air it out for a while. I don't know anything about fire retardant.

You might google the original maker to find the answer to this. I don't remember mine smelling bad, I'm real sensitive to scents. That is why I became a Scentsy consultant. I hope this helps

My pillow has no odor at all. I haven't washed the cover, but I use a pillow case over it.

I have had a couple of these pillows. They arrive with a chemical smell from the packaging that irritated. I just washed (submerged) them in a pail with dishwashing liquid soap solution. Then I rinsed them, drained them and let them air dry. That worked well with no danger of destroying your washer/dryer.

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

I never noticed a smell on my pillows, maybe wash the covers it came with. If not send you hen back ask for new ones.

I hand washed mine it shouldn't do any thing bad?? But I removed the plush on the inside and customized my pillow into a sipper case.

I used our regular mattress cover...it was deep enough and the elastic goes over our mattress and the topper. We have no noticeable smell. Love the topper. How disappointing for you as it is a bigger purchase. Maybe the zippered covers they sell for bedbugs would be less permeable with smells?

Hi Jaime,I returned my pillow, but from what I remember you only should wash the cover. I would do a a hand wash or gentle cycle in cold water and hang dry it so it doesn't shrink. Hope this helps.Angela

No that is not why. There is a small chemical smell when you get the pillow mistky from whatever the material they use to make the pillow out of. It does go away. Initially i thought this pillow was too high/firm..., but now i love it!

No it does not. when it arrives it might smell like the plastic protective cover, but just air it out and then no smell. I'm sensitive to odors and this is one odorless pillow.

It was a while ago, but I am going to say no. I am very sensitive to these things and I would definitely remember a strong smell. There was a slight smell if I remember correctly, but I am pretty happy with it. I put it in a smaller pillow case that closes to maximize the firmness which lessens over time.

I haven't noticed any odor. It has a zip up cover, which I put a pillow case over. Maybe thats why.. Also it does not get hot! I actually sleep on the memory foam side, not the gel side, bc it feels too cool for me. Hope this helps!

I just waited 24 hours and then put the pillow protector and the pillowcase, mine wasn't that smelly. And trust me I smell like dogs do! Maybe You should rubber it with softener sheets

Catherine, you wash and dry the cover only like you do your sheets. It comes out great. Hope you're enjoying the pillow. I love mine. Thanks for asking.

The information with the pillow says to take the zippered cover off and wash. The pillow itself can only be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. Do not immerse the pillow in water, this breaks down the foam.

The cover is not waterproof. You can wash the cover but not the pillow. I just wash the cover and spray the pillow with Lysol.
