It's VERY important that I get a non-toxic mat without an odor. Is there an odor to this mat?

I am very sorry I don't remember it has been too long and I didn't pay attention. I love the mat though very comfortable.

I have had mine for a week and there is a terrible industrial odor. Would not recommend.

I certainly have not detected any odor and am entirely satisfied with them and think they are a particularly good buy.

Once you take it out of the box it ships in you will have a "new" odor but that only lasts a couple of hours. After that there is no smell at all. I wouldn't hesitate to put this mat in any room of my home. I believe you will love this mat!

I haven't noticed any odors at all. I can't swear that it is non-toxic but my nose is very sensitive to odors and it doesn't have any smell at all.

I have purchased two of these mats. The first one was too small because I didn't notice that you could order different sizes. I used that one in a smaller downstairs room and used the larger one for myself in my office. I did notice a plastic odor (very faint) on the first one (like newly formed plastic) but no odor at all on the second one (the larger of the two). If it holds up and doesn't break over time I will be very pleased with the mat.

Hi! I didn't have a chemical odor with this mat. That being said, why don't you try soaking it in a tub that has a few inches of warm water that has had baking soda mixed in it. That should remove the smell.

Mine didn't have any odor either. So there's no problem. Bad odor are usually related with expired items.

There is no odor. Has no smell at all. Plus you don't lay on it naked. You have clothing on so your skin will never come into contact with it. As well the mat has a cotton cover that you lay on. So there is no reason for your body to come into contact with the surface of the mat.

i think i remember reading that it is green, but as a precaution, i opened and laid it out in the sunshine for 6 hours. there is absolutely no odor. i worked in the flooring industry for 30 years and am very familiar with the odor of carpet pad, which is a petroleum based product. also, the cover is bamboo. i am thrilled with the product.

No the pad does not have any odor at all. Just have to say again that for me I did not experience a cooling effect with this pad.

No. there is no odor from the product. I don't think it masks the odor either but eliminates it.

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

No. From day one the mat had no oder. I have use it 3-4 times since I bought it and only used a hot damp cloth to wipe clean. I really like this mat!

There was the initial packing smell that dissipated within a couple hours. We have a small bathroom and didn't notice any odors from the mat after it was properly aired out.

Ours had no odor. Just the plastic-type smell maybe the first day after unwrapping it. It's very functional and I've recieved lots of compliments

I haven't noticed any odor. Since the statement that it's formaldehyde compliant I'm guessing that's a plus. From what I've heard California has more stringent laws about these kinds of things.

I received the mat over a year ago, but that I recall it had a slight smell that went away almost immediately.

I think it's made of the same stuff as a rubber mat. It doesn't have a smell to me.

We have used this for a long, long time, and I have not noticed an odor. I have been very pleased with it. Great size!
