I bought this after a relative raved about her Cariloha pillow. It was a gift for my husband for Christmas. We opened it Christmas Eve and promptly removed 1/3 of the stuffing. (We’ve since adjusted it again.) The filling smells acrid and I tried everything to make it dissipate—air fluffed it in the dryer, sunned it outside multiple days, removed and washed the cover, etc—and it still has a smell. It’s only noticeable when you’re lying on the pillow or beside it; when we first opened it you could smell it when you walked in the room. It doesn’t bother my husband anymore but I’m ready for the smell to neutralize. I bought a similar style pillow by another brand a couple years ago and the smell dissipated within days. Not sure what’s going on with this pillow that it’s hanging on for 3+ weeks.
