I'm looking for a buckwheat pillow that I can heat up. Is this pillow microwavable?

I dont think so. The buckwheat hulls really wouldnt retain heat...would they? Not certain...but I wouldnt try it. &gt;_&lt;

I don't think you can heat it up in microwave. It has tendency to catch fire.

I cannot tell you if technically it is microwavable or not, however, I have been putting the lids in the mocrowave for 15 years without a single problem. We freeze individual servings of soup in the grabits with the lid. We take them out of the freezer, loosen the lid so it is no longer air tight, and put in the microwave to heat and then serve. I just looked on the cover, and it says: "Cover fo refrigerator, freezer and microwave use Do not use cover in coventional oven Dishwasher top tack only. Hope this helps.

don't know for certain, but it only claims to be dishwasher safe, so I would say probably not microwavable. I haven't tested it, though.

No, I don't think so and doing a quick search on the Internet they said no Melamine is not microwavable

I have never washed one myself--I use a pillow case. However, you can take out all of the buckwheat and perhaps do it that way. To be sure--shoot Maggie--the maker--this question--she is good about answering stuff.

The beauty of the pillow is you can remove some of the buckwheat to personalize the thickness of the pillow. I removed over 1-2 cups (and saved it for later use if desired), leaving a pillow with ~3.25" in thickness. When I lie down, I can easily shift the buckwheat within the pillow for comfort to conform to my neck and head. I have arthritis in my cervical spine and this is the best pillow I've ever owned.

Yes, they are microwavable; however, I would not take them from the fridge to the microwave. I've cooked vegetables and warned up many other items like soup and spaghetti.

Yes the pillowcase cover is washable. Just remove the buckwheat hulls and put them in another clean pillowcase. You can use a plastic garbage bag but you will lose a few buckwheat hulls when you transfer them back due to static electricity hanging on to a few of them.

I guess it would depend on environmental factors; how often it was used, how quickly the buckwheat broke down, etc. but also how firm you like the pillow. I was able to take a freezer bags worth of buckwheat out of mine, and can use that as replacement kernels when the time comes. So who knows? How often does a regular pillow last? 10+ years? I would bet that the buckwheat could last that long or more.

Definitely not. For me, I found that with a buckwheat pillow that my head would stay in the same spot throughout the night, largely preventing me from spending the night tossing and turning. That was my experience with this pillow, hours of head rolling side to side trying to find a "spot" I liked.

It's an aromatherapy neck pillow so it has an herbal smell. Which is not unpleasant when heated.

It is a filler of pillows as near, as I can tell, that is comparable to buckwheat but not quite as big and a bit softer. I filled my neck pillow with it and had had no problems. I will be using it again.

I have not tried microwaving it, but I probably would not recommend doing so. Try putting hot or warm water in your drink instead if you are trying to break up protein powder.

Actually yes, and it is so full of buckwheat that you can take a bunch out to fill a sports sock to heat that up and place around your neck. You won't even miss it from the pillow. You can also do a sports sock this way if you fill it with rice while you wait for the pillow to arrive. Hope this helps you.

I'm uncertain if it is microwaveable (would doubt it though) but it is not an aromatherapy animal.

Hi Alyssa. Just looked at the label on my pillow and it said 100% Organic Buckwheat Hulls. I guess that would mean no chemicals but you may still want to check with manufacturer. I love my pillow. It has a zippered case, so I guess you could remove the hulls and wash them or replace them. Interesting. Great Pillow. My daughter uses the smaller version and I am going to order it for hubbie.
