Bought a My Pillow for myself. I loved it and bought another for my husband.

It cost $50.00 at my local Walmart. I washed and dried it as recommended and am very displeased. My neck aches are back. I slept on my husband's unwashed pillow and no problems.

Wondered if this is a problem anyone else has encountered? Still loved my original before washing.

I want a new one but do not see any promotion codes on the website and prices are conflicting. Thanks for any opinions.

Reason of review: My pillow did not retain it's original condition after laundering as recommended and advertised. Loved it before but very uncomfortable after..

Monetary Loss: $50.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

MyPillow Pros: Comfort until laundering.

MyPillow Cons: Very uncomfortable after laundering as recomended.

Absolutely horrible after washing!

Guest

It is now April 2022 and the company has still not fixed the bleach smell problem after washing. Just washed my 2 new pillows and the bleach stench is very strong.

Can smell it 1/2 a room away. Causing pain in my nasal passages and tightness in lungs. The company is sending me two new pillows, so thatโ€™s good.

But makes me worried how dangerous sleeping on one of these pillows is every night-what chemicals are in them. And after so many people have had this problem for so many years, why did the company write me that they have no idea as to the cause of this.

Wow I dried my pillow several times thinking it was dry until I opened it up and stuck my hand right into the middle of the foam and it to my surprise it was still very damp. If I put that pillow back on my bed like that I think it would cause an interior mold problem that would be so hard to detect. This is very problematic.

Same thing happened to me!

Same thing happened to us. It wonโ€™t dry!

When you wash them, it takes FOREVER to get the chemical smell. Also drying it takes hours!!!!

I have to dry it 4-5 high heat 69 minutes each and it is still damp.

Love the pillow but the smell after washing is BAD and the dry time is ridiculous. I thought it was my dryer at first so took it to a laundromat in a large dryer and it still wouldnโ€™t dry it.

Have three MyPillows, loved them until I tried to wash one. When wet it weighs a ton and threw my machine balance off.

WOULD NOT spin at all, wound up trying to wring it out. After eight drying cycles over three days itโ€™s still not dry. Itโ€™s in the dryer as I write this. Iโ€™ve spent more in electricity trying to dry the damn thing than itโ€™s worth.

My advice?

If you like the pillow, use it until you canโ€™t stand it, throw it out and go buy a new one. Less aggravation.

No idea what the chemical smell is. No smell with mine.

I figured out when drying the pillow to throw in a dry bath towel when it is still damp.

Mine dried completely. Very happy with the way mine washed and dried.

Same problem as others. I bought two pillows from MyPillow brand.

I have washed one as directed and it now has a chemical smell. It appears washing it releases something in the foam filling that causes this smell. What kind of material are they using in the pillow?

Now I canโ€™t use it. I donโ€™t want to wash the other one now because of this issue.

Same issue with the heavy chlorine smell after washing and drying. Used regular laundry detergent first wash and no dryer cloth.

Had to wash again because of strong chemical smell and used only water, no soap.

Husband can't use it anymore as it was giving him headaches. Very disappointing and maybe even dangerous?

Pay attention to the commercials.....theyโ€™re not washable, theyโ€™re โ€œwarshableโ€!

I just tried washing one of My Pillows (One). In a front loading washer, cannot get to spin the pillow: removed pillow and rang out water - still will not spin in washer. Waste of time to wash.

I had planned to wash my my pillow now I hesitate. Come on there must be others out there with same problem or is it just this person.

My husband and I got them for Christmas. I just washed and dried them last night and now they smell like bleach. Has this happened to anyone else?
