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...

Yes. When it comes fresh out of the box, the smell is horrible. I got a tremendous headache from sleeping on it without airing it out for two weeks.

There's no smell other than the regular factory smell found in most new items, including clothing, beddings, etc.. One wash and it will come out freshedly smelled with whatever the laundry detergent or softener fragrants you use. Not sure what all those bad comments about this blanket (including the "smell") are about, but there're none for the two blankets I bought (bought the 2nd one since the 1st one is so good...nice and soft). Also recommend you wash it the first time before use, since like clothing, it appears stiff when brand new, but becomes really nice and soft after the wash (regular machine wash, regular dry). It's perfectly fine to wash and dry this blanket. I had no problems with it. There's no smell other than the regular factory smell found in most new items, including clothing, beddings, etc..

when I first got it, it had been boxed up and was tightly wrapped so I left it spread out for a couple of days and had no problem what so ever with it after that. there was no smell or any issue. it is the most comfortable sleep I have had and is so comfortable. I love it and would recommend it to anyone trying to improve their sleep situation. I have had no problems with mine.

No, there is no odor. It is recommended that you wash it before you use it though. Mostly that is just because it is vacuum sealed so washing it will loosen the fibers and release any possible odors that are left over from the packaging process. I washed, dried, and put it on my mattress the day it came and have no issues.

Hello, It only took a few hours for it to "rise". I slept on the full size mattress 3-4 hours after I opened it, and it had no adverse "smell" that has been mentioned in other reviews. Hope this helps! : )

It has a brand new odor. But why would u think a new mattress would have an odor

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.

I personally didn't have a problem with the smell however it's compressed into a box smaller than its full expanded size so it would be pretty hard to put it back into its original packaging once removed and it is expanded fully. You have to let it expand for a few hours and at that time it didn't smell horrific or anything like that just foam scented.

Mine had no unpleasant smell. Yours may have come in contact with a wandering ill smell during packing and/or shipping.

No. I bought 2 for myself and was so happy I bought 2 for my boyfriend and neither order did we notice a smell. I know the smell you speak of because I've bought toppers and a memory foam bed.

It does have the foam smell at first, but once it is aired out and expanded for a day or so, there is no smell. I absolutely love our 3" memory foam topper and have since purchased two more.

I just received a full mattress and other than a non-offensive and subtle "new" smell while unpacking it did not have any of the unpleasant odor that people have described. Mine came with a cover zippered on it, and I wonder if that might have perhaps reduced any chemical scent?

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.

All foam mattresses and pillows smell bad when you first remove them from their packaging. We took the mattress out of the packaging and let it air out for 2-3 days before putting it on the bed. The smell was almost completely gone by then.
