Kapok Standard Bed Pillow - 20" x 26" - Organic Cotton, Vegan, Premium Quality - Made in USA - Neck Bed Body Floor Cushion Insert Couch Throw Bolster - Organic Eco Friendly Fabric and Fill

Oh heavens: this pillow is amazing! I grappled back and forth about a chemical, cruelty, and allergy free pillow for months. I became the victim of too much info in the media, finding out that so many bedding products, including pillows, sheets, and mattress pads - not just mattresses - are chemical laden. You can't change the world, but you sleep 8 hours a night, and you BREATHE in all that junk....no thank you. So the options of buckwheat, water, and kapok pillows became a new world of considerations for me, none of which were available for me to try out "in person" at a store.I read that buckwheat could be "loud" and have a "bean bag" feel to it, and could be hard/uncomfortable. I knew that wasn't for me. I'd slept on down for years (which not only was ethically not acceptable to me anymore, but had me waking up with a runny nose and sneezing each night), so the texture of a water pillow wasn't appealing for me either.Then, I happened upon this pillow. Organic in and out, and versatile since you can add too or take out as much kapok as you want to your liking. I figured it was a reasonable gamble for 50 bucks.I was dubious since the pillow felt awfully firm out of the box. But then I slept on it...it's amazing how much kapok "gives" and yet bounces right back! I found it to be odorless right out of the gate. And no more allergies!I was a lucky gal to have bought the last one Bean Products had in stock for the time. Bean: please stock more!! My husband wants one just like this too....and he is PICKY!! :)

Loved everything about this pillow. I have been through so many pillows the last few years and they all make me get hot and sweaty on my neck and I had a friend tell me to use natural organic pillows like cotton or wool because they help you to sleep cool at night. This is amazing pillow love the fact that it is organic and all natural.

It’s firm but was easy to take out some of the filling. I’m thrilled to no longer wake up with itchy eyes. I’m also happy that it’s made in the US.

I love that these pillows are all natural fibers and plastic-free. The material is very nice and supportive, but I have noticed that over the course of a night the front part will flatten out and the material will move to the back. I usually flip it over and fluff it up every couple of nights. It is not too soft and not too firm, but just doesn't hold a shape super well. I haven't tried removing some of the material, but I think that might help.

These pillows are incredibly lumpy! Even after fluffing. I woke up with a migraine and neck pain so bad after sleeping on these I had to call off work and almost had to go to urgent care for the severe neck and head pain. Another family member tried sleeping on them too and complained of the same thing. I cannot believe how lumpy they are with essentially no use!

I wanted to like this and was excited to have something natural. It was just too firm. I tried taking some stuffing out, but still firm. If you like a medium to firm pillow, i think you will like this. I also did not find the cover to be very soft and the zipper to take out the stuffing was so small it was hard to get any out.

I love my Bean Products kapok organic pillow. It came packaged well and arrived on time. I needed to remove some kapok to size it for me and examined the stuffing to be sure it is mold free. One review speaking about mold did not say what brand they ordered, but this brand had clean and dry kapok that's fluffy. I sleep so well on this. My PT told me my old pillow was too thin and I wanted something without foam that would be non-toxic, non-allergenic, and natural. I've had this for several months now. I do plump my pillow each night at bed time and then, when I roll over, I might sometimes give it another quick one. I am sensitive to smells, and never detected anything from this, which I had worried about given some reviews that didn't name the specific product. I highly recommend this pillow for it's comfort and ability to be plumped up over and over and over, just like new. Be sure that you get Bean Products and be careful about reviews that don't name the manufacturer.

UPDATE: 2 months after using; this pillow is still perma-creased from the shipping. No amount of fluffing will fix it. Now the pillow flattens out in minutes after laying on it; there is maybe 3/4” of kapok supporting my head. 1) this pillow should not be shipped folded in half and vacuum sealed, that breaks the pillow 2) there isn’t enough kapok stuffing. Can you please send me more kapok stuffing so your pillow actually works as a pillow?Original: I've been looking for the perfect pillow for years, and this is it! I had tried kapok pillows that were smaller than this one, and they weren't so great... this one is. Highly recommended, all natural plant fibers, organic cotton case, that's all you need! One thing i would say to the manufacturer is... this pillow shipped folded in half, under high pressure creasing, and wrapped tightly in plastic. The center crease on the pillow is permanent and the fibers in the middle never really un-crease, creating a fold in the center of the pillow. Fluffing shaking and punching doesn't solve this after 3 weeks, maybe re-arranging the kapok inside the pillow will do the trick.

It's an amazing pillow. I've heard of the benefits of kapok being dense and anti-fungal etc, and I was tired of those cheap polyester pillows that squish into pockets of nothing and throw my entire neck alignment out of whack... Not with this thing. It's a tank of a pillow. it'll just keep getting denser as time goes by and you can wash the heck out of it without worrying about it squishing together. If you're a fan of dense pillows that stay the same for like, a long long time, this is the one for you. The great bonus is that it's all natural and there are no polyester/plastic micro-bits that sheer off when washing and end up polluting the oceans (a huge problem). I think with this one pillow at this pricepoint it outlasts all the crap pillows I'd have to buy if I did not have this beast. I love it.I did put it in the wash before using it and didn't notice a huge smell as other reviews suggest, but there was the oh so slight wet dog smell for the first month or so that I found quite comforting but, alas, has now went away and is now just pillow.

After doing research online to find a natural pillow, I came across this one.This pillow makes me excited to go to bed every night. It is so comfortable. There is zero smell as previous reviewers mentioned. The ability to adjust the stuffing would come in handy but as a side/back sleeper it is pretty much perfect.It is pricey for a pillow, but totally worth it so far.

LOVE this pillow. however I did also order a little extra stuffing since I prefer a bit firmer pillow.
