I have had my topper for almost 3 months now, and the smell is terrible! It leaves my clothing smelling really bad! What can I do?

Did you air it out for a couple of days outside by chance? That is what I did in an unrolled, flat state before putting it on the bed.

Mine has no smell whatsoever. Just received it last week. Maybe you should send it back!

I got mine, opened the box and was almost knocked over. The smells is horrible so I took it out of my house.I'm hoping that over time it will go away, but it can't be good to breath that smell in,, it's really that bad. I wouldlove to send it back.

I wouldn't purchase the mattress topper. It literally stinks. We have been airing it out for weeks. It is beginning to get better but the smell remains awful

I put it in a sealed plastic bag with some lavender flowers and that helped a little. Baking soda might work, too. Eventually the chemical smell wore off.

Our mattress topper had a mild odor that dissipated within a couple days. The info that came with the topper directs inquiries io info@sleepjoy.com or 1-888-679-5790

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.

Dear Emili, I have purchased 3 of these and I have not noticed any smell. Have you tried washing the whole thing and not just the cover? We have washed ours several times and they come back to the same shape they were and fresh as can be.

Hmm it shouldn't smell like rubber. I would bring it back to the store and exchange it for a new one.

Were you using a little bleach to clean it? If so and the oders remain, then in a cup, try using a little baking soda and viniger, swish it around in it, you can let it soak if needed, then rince it well, if the smells stry in it after that, then my guess is its defective and I'd try sending it back for a replacement.

Mine didn't have a smell? However I did wash mine because it got dirty and air dried it and it was fine. I guess that would be an option if there is a smell.

Sorry to hear that, ours did not have a smell since we received it...not sure what to advise you to do

I used our regular mattress cover...it was deep enough and the elastic goes over our mattress and the topper. We have no noticeable smell. Love the topper. How disappointing for you as it is a bigger purchase. Maybe the zippered covers they sell for bedbugs would be less permeable with smells?

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, .

I just bought mine and turns out the majority of the bad smell upon unpacking it had settled into the removable velour pillow case. Washing the case immediately and letting the pillow itself continue to air near a window really helped to make it usable the first night. It had a faint, noticeable smell again by the next morning, but nowhere near as bad as when first opened. More airing and changing pillow cases every day the first few days should eliminate the remaining odor fairly quickly.

You can remove the outer covering and toss it in the wash. Or you could try to vacuum it. The smell on mine dissipated in a little over a week. So you have to deal with it for now. The more you "re-fur" it, the sooner it stops smelling weird.

If it is too late for Amazon to take it back or if you have used it, you might consider selling the one you have on Amazon and buying the one you want. There is actually an advantage a used topper has over a new one, namely that it would not stink of petrochemicals for the first few weeks.
