New Pillow :(

Hey Y'All, so I bought 4 Bamboo Magic pillows - not cheap. Took them out of the bags , washed the pillow covers, put 'em back on and the pillows still STINK! Smell like a combination of herd of goats, chemicals, petting zoo, hay, rubber - aack! I need to sleep, I need my pillow, but how to get rid of this STINK?!

Can you put them out in the fresh air for the day - for a few days in a row? Is the weather good there?

Thanks, Girlie and Denikeef - the weather is pretty sketchy here - intermittent rain, unfortunately. The tag on the pillows say not to put the actual pillow in the wash or dryer, but at this point, I think I will Denikeef. I just hope the whole laundry room won't stink as my dizziness is bad again today.
Girlie, these pillows are supposed to help with insomnia, TMJ, neck pain, snoring...it all sounded great until I pulled them out of the package!

Girlie, Thanks again! I will. I should have looked at where the pillows were made before I purchased them, y'know. For some reason, everything that I have bought in the past that says "made in China" just smells so bad - they must use a ton of chemicals there. I just can't hack anything with a smell these days.

Nosila-where have you been-that's Brilliant- I will try that!! Thank you!!

Need I cannot stand any smells. I bought a Sleep comfort pillow - air filled and I love it!!

I have looked for years for a good pillow. I cannot tell you how many I have in my house. They all suck, but I hope company loves them all and they can take them home!

Sleep Comfort pillows are not cheap but gosh they never lose their umpf because they are filled with air and they do not stink.

PeteZa, lol! I can just imagine the mess that made!

I was going to go on vacation and wanted a hard overnight case to put my 4 ounce herb bottles in. I bought an old Samsonite hard over night case on eBay. It arrived in excellent condition and I could not believe how awesome it looked. But when I opened it up, it smelled like perfume. I sprinkled a whole box of baking soda inside that suitcase and put it in a huge leaf bag and set it on my front porch. After 7 days it still smelled so I gave it to a girlfriend.

I found a camera case in my closet that I use for my camera lenses and I used that.

Lesson learned.

Drawbacks

When I first opening the bags up and pulled out the first pillow, I thought it had just arrived from a farm. It smelled like hay. I quickly put both pillows in the dryer before the whole bedroom smelled like a petting zoo. After a few minutes in the dryer the smell was almost gone. Now, I should mention that I ran the dryer with wool dryer balls that have been scented with lavender essential oil, so that may have helped.

When I removed the pillows from the dryer there was still a tiny bit of a hay scent – but in a good way – nothing like when I first opening the bag. I took my chances and made the bed with my bamboo sheets with bamboo pillow cases and my new pillows. When we went to bed that night I had forgotten all about the smell and didn’t notice any farm smells at all.

Hope this is how yours turns out!!

Traveler - how is it if you roll over in the night. I start on my back...then roll to my right side..and then later roll back to my back.
Does that pillow make it difficult?

That's one of the reasons I love this pillow, Girlie! No matter what side I sleep on, or on my back, my neck and head are supported nicely. The center of the pillow has this little "flap" in the middle of the pillow that allows a gradual incline for the neck when you lay on your back, and the sides are built up so that when you lay on your side, your neck is held straight still (as long as the pillow is up against your shoulder).

Pretty much. The only time I wake up is when I get in a funky position and need to adjust for some reason. Usually though, I never even know that I'm rolling around from side to side - except by the way the sheets and blankets are all bunched up. You have to measure from the edge of your shoulder to your neck so you can get the right height for you.
