I just purchased two of these pillows and they smell from the memory foam out-gassing. I'm wondering how long this smell lasts and does washing help?

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.

You have my sympathies. The odor last from three days to about week. I put mine in the dryer on fluff for a few minutes. It helps but only thing to do is suffer and wait. I wouldn't try wasting it because they are so heavy it would take longer than a week to dry.

I never noticed any negative smell from them. Slight when I first opened. So it shouldn't last long, I wouldn't wash them right away as that will wear them out quicker. They truly are the best pillows for me, hope you get to enjoy them

I didn't notice any smell at all. I washed the pillow case right away and used the pillow from day one. Never any smell.

No, it is not Memory Foam. We sell a lot of these beds an have never had a complaint about smell. The Mattress is an Inner Spring with a layer of comfort foam under the sleeping surface.

Mine puffed out by itself after opening it. It smells for about 48 hours. Love it now. Most comfortable pillow I have ever owned.

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.

The memory foam topper itself had the typical polyurethane foam smell for about a day or two. The iso cool bed topper did not, however upon arrival i did wash the cover first, and had the foam topper expanding in the playroom for 5 days to allow complete expansion. The topper combo was a great price on Amazon BTW, .

Dear Traci and others, MamaDoo Kids here. Thank you for your interest in the Smart Mattress Topper! Over 98% of our past customers did not smell anything other than your normal new foam smell... So even if there was a 2% that noticed some kind of weird smell we decided to change foam manufacturers. As you can all read in the last 3 years this has been a no issue.Have an awesome day!The MamaDoo Kids Team

Just got this pillow last week and was initially put off, as the smell was quite strong. I washed it on cold and tumble dried on low - the smell is completely gone.

I have not noticed any particular smell. I do use a silk pillowcase over their casing. It's a great pillow.

I can't really help you on this. I filed our warranty and receipts away already. If it helps, we are really pleased with our purchase. It smells for the first few days and is pretty firm for a week or so. Its not so now and my husband's neck and back don't bother him at night anymore. Even my kids love the new bed. I'm sorry if I wasn't much help.

I let mine air out for a couple days after washing really well. Smell goes away after a while.

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.

In the time that I have owned and used mine I have not had this issue. It remains the best pillow I've owned and if it did break down in a year or so, I would get another. I can occasionally smell the buckwheat but it isn't unpleasant. I just wish I had a pillowcase that fit it better. I'm not about to pay what the company wants for one of their's (like $30 or something dumb like that).

I left the pillow out on a table for about 24 hours, turning it once. It still had a little smell to it but that went away quickly.

I have a floor drying fan that I placed the pillow in front of for about an hour then flipped it over and let it run for about another hour. Did the trick for me, may need to run longer if the smell is still there.

No that is not why. There is a small chemical smell when you get the pillow mistky from whatever the material they use to make the pillow out of. It does go away. Initially i thought this pillow was too high/firm..., but now i love it!

My pillow absolutely REEKED when I first received it. Seemed way worse then most people are reporting, maybe it was a fresh batch of foam or something but the smell lingered for more than a few days. Even six months later if I stick my face in it I can smell it. That being said I'm sure sticking it in the wash would help rid the pillow of its chemical stench right away and after the smell was gone/tolerable I really liked the pillow.
