I'm considering this mattress for my toddler but am scared about the smell that people are complaining about. Did everyone have this problem?

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

I've had mine for about 3 years and never had an issue with smell- the cover comes off for washing and you can stick the foam in the sun if that's a concern

No smell. I noticed the dates on all of the comments about smell are from quite a while ago. I believe they've changed their product since.

Hello,NO it doesn't. Well the one which we have got has no smell, but I can not tell weather other cribs by this brand has a smell or not, but the one we have for sure has not got any kind of strong smell.

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 can't speak to flame retardants, not sure, but didn't notice any nasty smell. The bed feels like a regular mattress and has been fine for a 200+ lb guest.

I am using it from last four months. This mattress is perfectly fine. No bad smell or nothing.. This is worth more than what you pay.

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 was full and even after 24 hours but my wife didn't like the smell so we actually spent a week with a fan on it along with baking soda sprinkled on it. Now there are no issues. It's a great bed.

I didn't use the mattress that came with a co-sleeper. It was super thin and had a horrible chemical smell. I ended up getting a different organic mattress on amazon and baby is still sleeping in the co-sleeper at 9 months. Also, FYI I discovered that the changing pad covers fit the mattress perfectly and I've been using them instead the sheets that came in with the co-sleeper. Hope it helps.

Thankfully, neither mattress I've bought has had any odor emanating from them. We love our beds!!

What smell? Mine didn't have an unpleasant odor, but I have washed the cover on gentle in our washing machine once with no issues...Not sure you're supposed to do that but I have a small toddler so I went for it.

no, this is a great mattress. We first put our baby on it a 6 months (now 8) he loved it from the start, has a nice "spring" to it, really happy with the quality and price also. We rotate it every couple of weeks, over all couldn't be happier!

Not sure what smell people were referring to. Ours did not have any unusual odor. Kind of new leather smell for a very short period of time.They are in my son's bedroom, so somewhat of a confined space and we can't smell anything.

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...

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.

I didn't notice any odor from mine, nor from the one the same I got for my daughter (I helped her put a duvet cover on it). We love ours, - the best duvet I ever owned. It just molds to your body in such a lovely way. Hope you get to enjoy yours. I wouldn't wash it. Hang it out in the shade, outside for awhile.

As far as I noticed, no it's not. It didn't arrive with any kind of noticeable or significant smell like most of the foam mattresses all seem to have. But I'm a guy and we tend to not notice things, so take that with a grain of salt.
