“I love the pillow. It has really helped with my lower back pain. I don't wake as stiff and in pain.
My beef however is the smell. It has an intense chemical smell that is fills my room and that prevents me from falling asleep.
I've washed the cover, left the pillow out in the sun to air out. It's been about 2 months and the smell is less intense but still present.
I'm sure in time the smell would fade, but I recommend a review of the packaging. Maybe something breathable to let it air out?”
Hello and thank you for your review of the Kakun Organic Latex Body Pillow. Organic latex can have an odour when first purchased, however, you are correct in saying that in time the smell willl disappear. Rest assured that even though there is a smell, this is not off-gassing, as this is natural/organic latex and there are no chemicals or gasses used in the process. Please do air out your latex pillow, but do not expose the latex to direct sunlight or a heat source. Thanks for the packaging recommendation - our manufacturer is always working on eco-friendly ways to package and protect our natural products. If the issue persists, feel free to come into the store and we will work with you to find a solution. Warmly ... the Resthouse Team
Hi Nancy, thanks for sending in a review of the Kakun Organic Latex Body Pillow. Sleeping with a body pillow not only stops your shoulders from collapsing, but also aligns your hips and spine. It's great to just cuddle up with too. Glad your grandchildren are enjoying it as wel! Sleep well ... Resthouse
“We love our new body pillows. They warm up our bodies in bed in no time! We use them for side sleeping or as weighted blankets, both ways are comfy, cosy, and great for relaxing. We would not hesitate to recommend them - just make sure your bed is big enough if you get two!”
