No, I noticed no odor when opening the package. I've owned it for about 6 months and my mat doesn't have an odor, either.

There was an odor when I first opened up the mats from the protective plastic but I can't say that there is an odor now. Once the mat is opened up and used the odor has gone away.

I am unaware of a change. Maybe they are talking of initial smell with you unwrap it? I have had mine for some time now and don't smell anything and my son loves these mats. We build forts with them sometimes or use them on the hard floor as a cushioned place to play. Have had zero issues with smell or anything in regards to these.

I don't think so, it does not smell. I always warm it at least 30 minutes to an hour at 500 F and there's no fumes. Unless cadmium and lead are odorless and tasteless!

Never had any mildew issues, but my daughter complained it hurt her hiney so we replaced it with a softer bath mat.

Yes, no problem. The mat and cover come with washing instructions. Just no harsh detergents or bleach

No, not that I noticed. The product itself does not smell. And the warmed towels/clothes also so not smell. Hopefully other people's don't smell either!

I have not noticed any odor. It is like a door mat but very effective under my stationary bike.

No. Because of a hip and back injury I use it it get in my tall bed. It does not have a smell of any kind.

No smell that I can determine, as long as the Quietwalk stays clean and dry. The potential "off-gassing" of whatever flooring you use, on top of the underlayment, is the main thing you should be concerned about, if you're sensitive to such stuff.

None of that with ours -mats usually have some kind of smell the first few hours due to the no airing out but ours had a hole in the cardboard box it came in so no smell.

It's a pretty strong rubber smell indeed. Mine has softened but still has that smell, but only noticeable to me. I love the mat so much I don't even notice it anymore. I've asked people next to me at yoga class if they can smell it, because I don't want to invade their space, and they don't notice it. I have noticed that since I have left it in my car this time of year (it's been extremely cold, like 4 degrees) that the smell has softened even more. Perhaps using a yoga mat cleaner will help dissipate the smell for you. It will take time however. I just don't mind it I guess. One of the reasons I got this mat is because I sweat so much in yoga class and was slipping. I don't slip at all on this mat, unless it's an ungodly hot summer day. I don't do hot yoga, but our studio is a warm studio, temp set at 82 degrees for class. If your hands and feet sweat excessively, I recommend a towel for your mat. Most people in my class use one, but I haven't had to since I got this mat. BTW, I love the saffron color I got. It's cheerful (totally my personality) and no one else has it.

Not in my experience. I started using it without any preliminary "curing", and there were no fumes or odors at all.

Everything does have smell, however, I do not smell this mat in my home. Therefore, I'll say no there is no strong smell from this mat.
