Anyone else have an issue with the memory foam pillows from Pacific Pillows?
I took mine out of the zippered packaging and was nearly overwhelmed by a quite strong chemical smell. I've left them in a room with wide open windows, put them outside on a windy day, and placed them near an open window for going on two weeks now. Although the smell is not quite as strong as it once was I can still smell them from about 5 feet away. I can't imagine sucking in that odor all night long. If you've gotten yours do they smell too? Anyone have any other solutions I might try?
have you read thru the thread where you bought them from? there is a big discussion there about the horrible smell, and not getting the ordered pillow. also the lack of filling in the pillow is an issue.
might i suggest febreeze type substance?
@moosezilla: Good idea about the febreeze. I was about to say the same thing. Might want to try spraying them thoroughly with febreeze and tossing them into a dryer either on very low heat/no heat to tumble some fresh air into them.
@moosezilla: I read the thread but didn't see much in the way of actionable items. Seems mostly to be complaints about shipping times and being light on filling. Wish I could've read the complaints before I placed the order. I think I've got enough filling in mine, but I wasn't expecting them to be jam packed, they just smell terrible. I'll have to give the febreeze a shot I guess.
@lavikinga I'll definitely try the dryer trick. I thought about doing febreeze but then I thought that there's like a thousand surfaces in there since it's chopped and they're not all going to get product on them. I think there's probably a better chance getting tossed around in the dryer. Good thinking.
