Does this air mattress have a strong PVC odor?

Searching the reviews for the word "smell", I found many that complained of a strong vinyl or plastic odor.

None that we noticed... except when first removed from box and inflating, then never noticed again, especially after sheets and pad were fitted. Just a great air mattress. We are still very glad we purchased.

This air bed definetly does not have any objectionable odor - none at all after first 20 minutes being unpacked. I was worried about a smelly PVCA odor myself. Having slept every night on this air bed since receiving it July 2012 - I have nothing but high praise for its construction and comfort.

NO! No more than anyone would expect. My wife used it for a weekend cousin's sleep-over and she is super sensitive about odors. She said she noticed nothing. She is thrilled with the bed.

I do not have a good sense of smell - I never did smell anything. My girlfriend who has a very keen sense of smell was around when I set up the bed for the first time (no sheets on it) and also the 2 weeks I used the bed and never detected any unusual smell for the bed. I used the bed for 2 weeks when I had a houseful of company and my girlfriend was around the bed often enough and would have told me if there was a plastic smell to it. I was very pleased with the product.

I've used my bed many times in travel, and I've never noticed a strong smell. It may have one somewhat when you're first opening and using it. I don't think it could be anything interfering with your sleep. "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT JUST, GO TO SLEEP. It is really a good sleep and you can't hear the motor running/refilling, at any time during the night. RADA

No strong odor was noticed. When I first opened it, there was a little smell, but it went away quickly. I opened the mattress in the afternoon and slept on it that night, and I couldn't smell it at all.

Hello,I did not notice any odor. That having been said, I am not sensitive to these things. I suspect that if you have a sensitivity to PVC, any new PVC item will have an odor that you find "strong".

Yes it does have a strong odor; I wouldn't use it without proper ventilation.

I had read about odors as well and was a little hesitant to order, so I was very pleased when I received my mattress because there was no strong odor.

Mine did not smell very strong. I put it out over the weekend. I put mine on the mattress and then put a mattress pad over the foam pad. It still feels soft and no oder.

I received mine as a gift just yesterday. Very strong smell like I had just painted the entire bedroom. This was after the mattress had sat for 2 days to expand in another room in the house. I am hoping that someone can seriously tell me this odor goes away.

Sorry I could not locate the documents on the mattress. I can tell you it is very comfortable and there is no odor.

I did not notice a rubber odor but our home is well ventilated so if there was one, I doubt it was very strong... my husband would have complained, he is sensitive to odors. I do notice that when I want to step on the stool, I must not put any pressure or weight on the handle before I put my foot on the stool as it will tip or lean outward from the stool.

Yes that is what I did. There wasn't an odor but the mattress was a little crooked because it hadn't fully expanded.

honestly, there was a smell open opening it but I left it for 3 days while on vacation. when I returned I did not notice any lingering odor. I presume they are talking about the chemical odor attached but it usually dissipates....I live in Florida so I have the air on 24/7 and ceiling fans going. I much prefer this mattress to the coil spring I got rid of.

I did not. The smell wasn't really strong with ours, still I let it unfold outside and I left it outside all day. We brought it in in the evening, put a sheet on it and absolutely no complaints at all. I use it for my 6 year old son's loft bed. I understand that it will probably need to be be replaced in a few years, but he likes it, it's more comfortable than I thought and I am happy with it, considering it is a very inexpensive mattress. We have had it for 6 or 7 months now and there is no smell to it at all at this point. Hope that helps!

If you are asking if it has that harsh vinyl smell like a new shower curtain the answer is no.My daughter gets severe migrains and is sensitive to many oders.She slept on it for 2 nights and had no problem.

I can just tell you that my mattress looks new and smells great. My toddler has peed and sweated on it heavily yet no odor is left behind. It is not noisy or crackly. As thin as it is it works well however my mattress feels best without it. It is a firm memory foam mattress.

There is not an odor at all. You should be happy with this purchase, it may have less fortified support, however, it is very comfortable to sleep on.

Not at all--and I'm very sensitive to those kinds of odors. It's in my finished basement with limited ventilation, and I sit near it when I knit and there is no odor.

Yes, it does have a smell to it when it first arrives. Since leaving it out of the box and just letting it air out I have no longer noticed the smell.

I am extremely sensitive to odors. Just to be sure, I kept the mattress in the garage for about 3 days to air out. It really did not have an odor but I wanted to make sure that if when I compressed it, it would not off-gas too badly. Again, I am extremely sensitive to odors and smell things no one else can. The Cloud9 did not smell at all when I placed it on the bed nor when I laid on it. I cannot express how pleased I am with the mattress. I know that some people have told me another brand did off-gas but this one did not. I love this mattress topper!
