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.

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.

The smell is bad, but it goes away quickly in a well ventilated area. My suggestion would be to fluff it daily and turn it over daily until the smell dissipates.

I have had one since Christmas and I can still smell it but it is not strong anymore. Any varnish will take time to dissipate. Give it time.

I used our regular mattress cover...it was deep enough and the elastic goes over our mattress and the topper. We have no noticeable smell. Love the topper. How disappointing for you as it is a bigger purchase. Maybe the zippered covers they sell for bedbugs would be less permeable with smells?

I don t felt any odor but when summer came the tape start loosing strength and the cool air started to get back in after all in December. But at least I didn t smell anything that bother me when I used. I try first in a few windows to checked.how its work. You can do the same and move your pet to another place. Thanks

This is the SAME [problem I had with this pillow. I didn't fell like washing a brand new pillow, so I just let it air out. It still smells, but it is getting less pungent after weeks, but still smells when trying to sleep on it.Well more time has gone by & the odor persists. Not so bad, if you sleep on your back, but if you are on your side , your face in in the smell. If the company has a solution, please let me know.

Hi, I would try cleaning it with white distilled vinegar. It will kill the smell if you get it into/under the gasket/seal. Hope this helps.

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 arrived without any smell. I suggest contacting the manufacturer to ask for advice. Alternatively, try using a white vinegar and water solution to clean it out.

Mine didn't smell at all. I would try hot soapy water or some vinegar and baking soda for the smell. If it doesn't go away amazon may exchange them. Good luck.

You have to spread it out and let it air out (I think for 24 to 48 hours) before putting on the bed. I think the directions that come with the topper say that, but it's been a while since I bought it so can't remember for sure. I had no problem with odor after the initial airing.

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.

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.

throw it in the dryer with a dryer sheet and it will help with the odor. Doesn't last too long unless you have a sensitive nose.

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

My pop has been sleeping on this topper for about 6 weeks and he has not complained of getting too hot. It is designed not to get too hot and is a great topper. Takes about 2 days airing out flat to lose the new smell. I think it would be an inexpensive fix for u and worth a try. My Dad is using this on a twin adjustable foam hospital bed and it works great.
