Why does my mattress smells so bad?? Is this normal to a new mattress?

i found that it takes about month to get the factory odors out i believe it is the foam that has chemicals in it from making them that is giving off the odor so i sprayed my down with"" refresh ""and that seemed to get rid of scent

It's the way it smells for about two or three days. It does go away if not contact the seller mine did the same thing and is fine now. Flipping it over once or twice helped it air out.

Mine had an oder for a day or two and it was gone. I was told not to sleep on it for 48 hours anyway to let it fulling expand, so it was never an issue.

I don't why it smells like the matress from the black lagoon, but it either goes away after some time or you just get used to it. I'm not 100% sure on which one it is.

Not sure what bad smell others are talking about, I have not had that experience. Both my pillows are fine, and have no smell, however, when I want an oder out of something I put it in a garbage bag with a bunch of baking soda poured in it and leave it for 3 days, then check it. If I wash something I use vinegar to take smells out. And, yes I've washed down before, the trick is getting it dry. I hang it on the line all day, and it must be a fairly hot day or it won't dry.

I think you are using a cheap heating pad, and perhaps an old one. THe cheap ones may still have stiff plastic that smells bad, but a new, reasonably but not cheaply priced pad should not smell bad.

I am fairly sensitive to odors like that, and I didn't experience anything like it with mine. I got a cheap pad before that I had a big issue with, and so placed dryer sheets under it and that helped. Just a thought--just in case.

Mine is doing the same thing! I've bought these before and they have been fine. Something is up with this mattress!

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.

Honestly, my units smell so bad, I can hardly think of anything else. I can't say they're terribly noisy, but there's a definite sound. No rattles or buzzes developed, which is often the problem with bedroom units. If you have other options, take them though - once the smell sets in, it can't be fixed!

I am maybe more sensitive to chemicals than most people, and unfortunately, I would say after letting it air for 2 days, that there is still a very unpleasant smell. I put a mattress cover on top of it, but I still notice a very unpleasant smell. I don't notice it until I am in bed, where it's very close to my face.

I never noticed a smell on my pillows, maybe wash the covers it came with. If not send you hen back ask for new ones.

Ours smelled TERRIBLE. It was a very moldy smell. There was no wet film though. We've had ours for a little over 2 months. We thought airing it out would help. While the odor is not as noticeable as it was originally(you could smell it upon entering the room!), it's still there. I smell it when I sit on it, and the smell transfers to items touching it (blankets, clothes, etc). Yuck!

My bed did/does not smell so I can't be of any assistance. Suggest you contact manufacturer if possible.

No I did not notice a smell. Plus this mattress is made out of non toxic materials. It's been a great mattress for my son. The only issue we had is once he was a little older it got uncomfortable for him to sleep because it is so firm. He started waking up many times a night. I bought an organic mattress pad and he has slept comfortably on it until he was 3 and moved to a big bed. I plan to buy another one of these for my second son too so would recommend this mattress to others.

The smell might be that of natural cotton. I do smell that from mine (which we just got) and nothing else.

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.

Mine did not smell different. U may have gotten a bad one or something. Probably see about an exchange and gage from there.

Did you read my comments about the smell? buy a down comforter or one of the new cooling pads -trust me.

I have not noticed an odor on the mattress. I'm hoping that it was a fluke for that particular reviewer. I recommend submitting a comment directly to the reviewer and asking for an update...
