Are these 100% natural? How about Organic? Why am I reading that there is an odor?

There was no odor but I am not very impressed with the pillow itself. Not a comfortable pillow for me.

they are listed as organic that's why we purchased them. we have not experienced any odor. we purchased these pillows for travel so we always have our own and not the hotels which can be worn out and uncomfortable.

Yes, it is all natural and some rubber is organically harvested. The odor is rubber, non offensive and is easily masked by a mattress cover. It is non-toxic.

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.

No, ours didn't have any smell to them. My mother in law would notice that kind of thing too. Maybe you got a wrong batch? :o( That's terrible though.

I'm sorry. I bought these quite some time ago and I don't know anything about such claims, or allegations they are not true. Just don't u anything about that at all. I ordered them because of not containing sulfites and at a time I could not get my favorite brand which is Honest Earth which we like quite a bit. I don't use a lot of processed food items, but these are convenient to have on hand in the pantry. It can be difficult to navigate around the food industry and labeling. I guess I could have as helpfully just clicked the "Don't know" button.

I use have used these the last few years and have not had the same problem. I just opened the box I have at home and it has no odor. I don't have an answer of why yours is so pungent. (Bad batch?mildew?)

The packaging doesn't indicate such and if they were organic you would think it would say so. That's just my opinion though, draw your own conclusions.

I wash them with All or Tide. Add a bit of oxyclean. I use normal cycle. No problems with odor after they are dried.

The information on the package goes to great lengths to assure the customer of the wholesomeness of the product, however, I do not see the word "organic" anywhere. Perhaps you can find more information at www.palousebrand.com or www.facebook.com/palousebrand Good luck! As an aside, I have used these in cooking (I use them to replace ground meat in recipes, and have made salads with them.) and I have no complaints.

I haven't seen any information that would give absolute doubt that "100% organic" isn't truly organic. I have several sensitivities but have had no problem whatsoever with this pillow.

The description states there are no chemicals ever used. I did not find the words organic. I can tell you though that the fiber is left natural, no dye, no bleach. We have very sensitive skin and use these and no added softeners. No reactions from any of us with these. No smells straight from the box.

I believe that they did have an odor but I of course laundered them before use and they were fine. I have several sets, as I eat tons of fresh produce daily and I would be lost without them!

What do you mean by all natural? It doesn't make any claims about being organic.

I don't know but I remember buying this brand because it was the most non-toxic I could find. I don't think they smelled at all when I got them. I love them. Good luck!

I didn't notice any smell but I'd also guess it might have been from the plastic packaging if they smelled anything. Some people are, well, looking for things like this to a degree of neurosis. I just went and cut open a fresh pack and there is no discernible odor.
