I have had my topper for 2 months and the smell is still there. Any suggestions. I used opened windows, Lysol, Fabreeze...still stinks.

I didn't have this problem. I aired it out as directed and though the scent was strong at first it disipated rather quickly. Consider a strong plastic mattress cover, it may contain whatever scent is still lingering. Best of luck.

That might because it is made of plastic. I bought it one month before my baby's birth, opened the backage and let the pad stay in the air for one month. Then all the smell went away. You could also try to put the pad in the air for few days.

Hi Marilyn, All foam products will have a very temporary and light "new foam smell" as with many new materials. We recommend removing the zippered cover and letting the foam open air for a few hours if you have sensitivity to smell. We will gladly accept returns which have any defects.

Initially, the foam does have a smell. We aired it out for about 2 weeks and then it was ok. We are sensitive to smells. You might want to wash the cover to speed up the process. Any foam in a plastic will have a smell and we were aware of it since it is not the first foam topper or mattress we bought.

I did not have that problem. It maybe the smell of the rubber/plastic compound that it's made of after being enclosed in it packaging. It should dissipate within a couple of days at the most. Otherwise I would contact the manufacturer

We did not notice any smell on opening. We aired it for a couple of hours in the room with the windows open, mainly to let it expand to size and then made the bed and slept on it that night.

Mine is a year old and it has never had any weird or stinky smell to it. Make sure you are using he detergent and leaving the top open when it is not in use.

I didn't notice any smell with mine and I'm pretty sensitive to odors. I'd recommend letting it air out in a well ventilated place for a few days or weeks until it dissipates.

I still have a slight smell. I also have air fresheners in the car vents. Try leaving your windows open and moonroof as often as possible weather permitting it definitely helps get rid of the smell

I have not experienced any terrible smells from my futon. Maybe try a fabric deodorizer. Sorry I wasn't able to help.

The last topper I bought reeked for a couple weeks, even after airing it outside for a few days. I aired this one out for only one day before using it because it just doesn't have much smell at all.

Mine came with the horrible smell as well. I put it outside to air out for a few days and I put it next to a bag of baking soda to absorb the odor too. After a few months, I've noticed that the smell is no longer present.

More than likly the smell isn't gone entirly. You have just gotten use to it and don't notice it any more. Same thing with mine.

Mine doesn't smell at all. I take it out at night so it can dry completely. Maybe you could try that. I hope that helps. I really like it!

After airing it out for 48 hours as recommended. It still had quite the strong smell. So one weekend when I was away. I stripped away my bed ppened the bedroom window and aired out over the weekend. Now the odor is considerably less still there but cry mild and much less annoying.

Put it in the dryer on low for an hour with a dryer sheet, or wet a washcloth with fabric softener. It may take a few cycles but it will go away. I have had mine for three days now and no odor at all.

I don't smell anything after a day or so. It was a plastic smell to begin with, but nothing now, we have had ours for over a year. I have 3 of them. I finally learned to put down paper towel and then either the bedding or cloth and it is so much easier to clean!
