When the pillows arrived I removed all packaging and removed the covers to wash them. The pillows themselves had such an awful chemical smell that I had to air them out. I stood them up in an empty laundry basket hoping that the smell would dissipate. After 3 days they still smelled awful so I sprayed them with Febreeze. On the 4th day I was going to put the pillow covers back on and try them out. When I picked up the first one I noticed what I thought were many, many gnats (thought they were attracted to the awful smell) but when I waved my hand to try to shoo them off, I discovered that the gnats were in fact lots and lots of tiny spiders. I grabbed a large trash bag, tossed both pillows in and threw them out. I'm rating 1 star as that is they only way the review will post.
