Great Pillow - TERRIBLE ODOR! NOT appropriate for those sensitive to odors!

Just ordered two of these...a firm and a plush. Arrival was very quick and they both come packaged in a convenient zipper stow-away with a removable cover for washing. Spouse prefers the firm while I preferred the plush...both are very comfortable and provide excellent support for both types of sleeping habits (side sleeper and stomach sleeper).
The only issue keeping this from receiving a five star review is the odor. The smell is simply too strong even after having washed the pillow cover and covering it with new pillow cases and another cover. It literally awoke me several times throughout the night until I had to set the pillow aside and grab my old pillows.
I'm not an especially sensitive individual and found it obnoxious so those with sensitivity to odors smells etc may find this intolerable.
I'm going to allow it to air out for a few weeks to see if that improves the odor...if not they go in the close as spares despite the comfort.
As a side note these are made in China according to the label. The quality is nice but not as nice as some of the higher end pillows you may be familiar with...however they are a bargain for the price IF you can stand the odor.
UPDATE - have now owned the original two pillows for a couple months and have purchased two more since. We remove the case and air each pillow...and in fact have put it into a gentle cycle to wash although that is probably not recommended...due to the unpleasant odor. However I'm pleased to say that the odor dissipates after a few days in the open air so that is not a problem for long term use.
I have arthritis in my neck and this has been a tremendous improvement in sleep quality...not a small feat since I routinely purchase expensive custom pillow from manufacturers like Cuddledown etc...without a doubt these provide the best support and pain-free sleep I've had in years. Spouse loves them too! Great price exceptionally pleased pain-free sleep.More detail ...
