Does the mattress have an initial smell or chemical odor?

No smell detected. I slept on it the first night after I received and assembled it. Just felt and smelled like a fresh clean bed if anything.

Absolutely not ..if you think AMAZON would sell a mattress that smells. Then y are you even buying from Amazon. I think your watching 60 minutes to much. About mattresses from China with roaches. Plus I purchased this about 5 months ago do u think I would have kept it. Please proofread you Q's b4 u send. Because I am willing to help anyone and be honest. But being disabled. This was a waste of time.

No odor. It is absolutely beautiful and very sturdy. We did unpack it and had it sitting with a plastic cover on it in another room for a week or so while we were painting the guest room, but we do not recall any unpleasant odor when we unpacked it. It is made in the USA and has a wood frame you can adjust up and down according to mattress height. I hope you are as pleased with it as we were.

The one I got did not have a smell to it. I have some memory foam pillows that did smell when I first got them but they no longer have that odor.

Initially it has an odor from being packaged and the type of material. However, the smell evaporates over time and this is an excellent mattress topper.

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.

No smell whatsoever. It's a fantastic mattress. Clean, comfortable, lightweight.

I did not notice a chemical smell. However, I did allow my pillow to air out for a few days before use.

We unpacked it, put it on the bed, and have slept on it for months. I've never noticed an odor of any kind.

My mattress pad never smelled at all! I am sorry that yours does. I am guessing you have washed it and the smell is still there?! I would tell Amazon about it and get them to replace it with another one. NO reason at all for the smell to linger......

I have had two of these mattresses and the smell went away. Do understand that ALL mattresses are made of chemical based materials to some extent hese new foam style mattresses are what is sweeping the world because of the total support and all the features that can be designed into them any more. They adapt to each body shape, weight, and temprature. Old style beds never came close to this.

All foam mattresses and pillows smell bad when you first remove them from their packaging. We took the mattress out of the packaging and let it air out for 2-3 days before putting it on the bed. The smell was almost completely gone by then.

Hello, It only took a few hours for it to "rise". I slept on the full size mattress 3-4 hours after I opened it, and it had no adverse "smell" that has been mentioned in other reviews. Hope this helps! : )

Hi Connie. I don't know about anyone else, but my memory foam mattress does not have any odor. I did air out the mattress before folding into my queen size sofa bed. I waited and aired it out about 2 hours. So far no odors, and is very comfortable. My only concern is thatmy sofa bed and mattress do not measure precisely. What happens is that part of the mattress overflows from sides. The sofa bed mechanism is rubbing against the sides and wearing the sides to where pretty soon it may make holes on the side. Hope I answered your question Connie. Take Care. Francisco.

I've got a good sniffer, and I detect no odor at all. It's nothing but polyester fiber fill (like you might find in a throw pillow) with that kind of papery/plastic outer layer that some mattress pads are made from. If there was any odor back when I first bought it, I would have put it in the dryer on AIR FLUFF or spritzed it with Febreze or hung it on the line for a couple hours.

No, the design is stain resistance. Odor will continue being emitted from within the fabrics of the mattress.

I wouldn't call it a chemical smell. It has a slight newly manufactured scent similar to some fabrics in fabric stores. Like I said in my review, I washed it and hung it to dry. That took care of any smell it had at first. I must tell you that I have a very sensitive nose, and because of that, i do not use fabric softener. I find it too strong. So there was no detergent or fabric softener scent to "cover up" the mattress pad's smell after washing, and yet I did not detect a smell after it was dried.
