Do these stink like dead animals (as many down pillows now do)?

I aired them out and didn't notice an odor. They are horrible pillows though....don't waste your money.

lol no it doesn't but the end of the feathers are very pointy and uncomfortable. No smell though.

No, it was like any standard memory foam style pillow. No noticeable smell.

I assume they are. My problem with the pillows is they are too fat. If about 1/4 of the feathers would be removed it might be o.k.

Agree with the previous responder. Honestly, these are the best pillows I've ever had (owned them about4 years now). They hold their shape and are so comfortable!!

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.

Yes. The smell is very strong when the pillow is new. The odor lessens over time.

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 never noticed any negative smell from them. Slight when I first opened. So it shouldn't last long, I wouldn't wash them right away as that will wear them out quicker. They truly are the best pillows for me, hope you get to enjoy them

No, not really. As long as you keep them clean after a days use or so, the smell isn't bad.

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.

Hello-The pillows do not have a foam odor. However, they do collect body heat aNd can get too warm.

Not that I am aware of. I have had my pillow 16 years now and have bought 4 others to leave at my children's homes for when I visit. The pillow has no odor at all.

Yes. I tried to sleep on mine the first night and I woke up with ringing ears and a headache, and the sensation I was sleeping in a petrochemical plant. It kind of concerns me -- what is causing that odor? It's an irritant at the least and... could it be carcinogenic?? I'm going to give these a couple of days and a few runs through the dryer and see if they air out.

Mine do not have a smell, but they never did. I am very sensitive to smells, so I would have noticed. I would contact amazon and see if you can get a replacement. Maybe you got a bad batch.

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 got mine a long time ago, I don't really remember if they smelled right out of the box, if they did, they definitely don't smell anymore!!
