Not plush, not 100% latex
Bottom line: Not that plush, and not 100% latex according to the label on the package. When it arrived, I opened it to find a disappointingly chemical smell. Then I see the contradictory label on the package, "CertiPUR-US: Contains Certified Flexible Polyurethane Foam" (see picture). Polyurethane Foam is NOT Latex. Latex is from trees, whereas this smells like it was made from something else. Just google Polyurethane to lean more. Moreover the foam itself is crumbly and has bright green peanut-shaped particles in it that don't look like latex (see attached picture) -- unlike the white/cream-colored natural latex foam that mattresses are made from. In addition, the "plush" cover is somewhat soft, but it is not microfiber, which is usually implied by the word "plush." It looks like a cheap, loose knit (again, see picture). I didn't even bother to open my package further and will probably just buy something from a maternity store where the products are guaranteed to be as advertised. Disappointed in Amazon for marketing and even promoting this fraudulent product without bothering to actually inspect it. Also surprised that others did not catch the fact that the package actually says that it contains polyurethane. No where on the package does it say GOTS certified. There's a home-made paper insert taped to the item, saying "made with a blend of 100% natural latex material" -- curious as to what they meant by that since it also contains polyurethane.

Great body pillow
My body pillow just arrived today and I write this review because I read in earlier reviews about the filling supposedly not being 100% latex, chemical smells and suboptimal fluffiness. That had me worried a bit but I decided to take the chance and order anyway. I'm glad I did because the pillow looks perfect. When it arrives, it needs an hour or so to recover from being compressed in a box during travel. At first glance, after opening the box, it looks flat but that changes within an hour.I love the filling, which makes the pillow fluffy and soft but still firm enough to give support. The pillow has a smell (as in it is not odorless) but it's not strong and I wouldn't label it as 'chemical'. The label confirms that the filling is indeed 100% latex.Besides the filling, what I love most about it is the size. Most body pillows are bigger (and heavier) which for me makes it difficult to move it around during sleep. Also, I still like to be able to reach my partner and not have too large of an object between us in the bed.All in all I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Huge pillow
I need a pillow for my knees and helps my back. So this arrives and it is huge, it's as if there is another person in the bed. So when one tries to roll over to another side, it's like a wrestling move to take this body pillow to the other side and the blankets get all crazy. My daughter says it smells like balloons (latex). I've tried arranging this multiple different ways but may end up just cutting the size down myself to make it work. Softness/firmness is fine.

I've been looking for some comfortable options since my old favorite bit the dust
This pillow has changed the way I sleep. I've been looking for some comfortable options since my old favorite bit the dust. This pillow is so versatile that I can always find a comfortable way to sleep. It is filled with small pieces of foam, so it behaves quite a bit like a down pillow, only it stays softer and compacts less, which I like. It is long enough to put a knee on, or hold between your legs. The bend at the top wraps around under your head and makes a very comfortable cradle. I sometimes sleep as pictured, but sometimes I bend the long part into a U and it cradles my head and arm no matter which direction I turn. Sometimes I put another pillow (the Woosa King Memory Foam Bamboo pillow is the one I use) on top of the U and I have a nice reading chair or elevated place to sleep. The cover is very soft and nice, I have no complaints about this pillow. One thing I've noticed, though, is that you sometimes have to redistribute the foam. I don't think this is a flaw, however, because it is the ability to freely distribute the foam along the tube that makes the pillow so versatile. Just know that if you find it too thin in an area you can just "fluff" it to restore it to original thickness. Happy sleeping!

Not as pictured.
The one I received was filled with shredded latex that can best be described as crumbs and not the spiral latex as shown and described in the pictures. Misleading product descriptions on Amazon drive me crazy and hence the 1-star rating and reason why I returned the pillow.

I believe this was treated with flame retardant - care of "organic" claim
Very strong chemical smell and labeling saying it meets 'California standard' indicate it is most likely treated with flame retardant, which is the last thing a pregnant mom wants! Flame retardants are associated with all sorts of problems. I really wish Amazon would force manufacturers to reveal exactly what treatment bedding, especially products for pregnant moms and infants carry. There should actually be warnings as literature shows us flame retardants can cause neurodevelopmental problems.

Great quality, just wasn't a match for me
I sleep with a latex pillow and thought this would be a good body pillow to try. Unfortunately this body pillow didn't work well for me. I purchased it because I'm pregnant and was looking for something that would help me sleep better at night, but for me a small wedge pillow between my knees worked better than this. The quality of the pillow was fantastic though and it you want a full body pillow I would recommend this one.

Really, really dislike everything about this pillow
The pillow is hard, uncomfortable on my neck, I am very small and it doesn't fit closely, snug around my body the way other pillows the same shape, but softer have. I am going to turn it upside down and use my own pillow for my head and use this for body and knees instead and see if I like it any better. Also, the "pillow case" or lack there of is a hot material and with no options for a secondary case to purchase.
