Does this mat has any distinct rubber smell?I recently bought Good Year rubber mat from Costco but it stunk so I had to returned it.

I didn't notice that. I think there may be some rubber smell, but it's not very serious, and with time flies I think the smell will disappear.

None that I could detect. The car was new at the time, and still had the new car smell. Have had no problems with the mats at all.

No, no smell. No off gas odor at all. I really like this mat. Have no complaints.

Hi - I bought a mat just like this. Not only were the "pebbles" too bumpy to actually stand on (it hurt my feet!), but it also smelled quite foul. After about two weeks it was still "off-gassing" after taking it out of the packaging. I would get light-headed from the chemicals, just being in the bathroom with it, and could even smell from down the hall. Finally, I just threw it away, it was not worth keeping it in a house with baby.

Yes. It has a rubbery smell, but I didn't keep mine long enough to see if the smell dissipates over time.

The bed mat is made of a rubber compound, smells like tire rubber when you first open the package. There is a slight sheen to the finely textured surface in between the raised chevron ribs. I can set items on the mat and they pretty much stay put. The bottom of the mat has numerous pips to keep from sliding around and maybe air circulation?

Yes it has a hefty rubber smell, i have had it for awhile and the smell is slowly going away. but it is still there and sometimes leaves the smell on my hands after i drive. but it definitely is going away

Unless your talking about the scent of clean rubber, I'm not sure what you are referring to. If there is any other odor, you should either clean it with peroxide or send it back..

Mine didn't smell at all. Possibly an extremely faint rubber smell due to the material it is made of? But it is supper subtle (I am very sensitive to smells and don't really detect anything).

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

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!

Hi Benny, Yes! I sweat a lot too, which is why I looked into purchasing this mat. My yoga class is usually around the 80 degree mark and we all sweat. I've found that my grip is best with Aurorae's "carpet-like" feel. This mat really soaks up the humidity and sweat, so I would suggest that after each class you wash/spray/clean and air dry it. That way it won't retain yucky smells. I've been taking my class 2x a week for 2 months if that helps. So far--very happy with this purchase.

No, this hide-a-mat did NOT have a smell when I bought it and does NOT have a smell after many uses!! It is very firm and I like it.

Hi Julianne, my mat is about three months old also and is tearing, still bleeding black, and still smells bad. These are not issues specific to your mat.

It smells like rubber when it's new. I washed mine a few times before I wore it and it was fine.

I'm guessing it's not. It smells like new plastic when first used, though the smell fades over time. I believe the smell is probably the mat killing me as I use it to become healthier - cruel irony!

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