Does the smell disapate quickly? I've ready several times the bed smells like a tire! Thanks!

it smells like rubber for an hour or two but we didn't even notice any smell; even on the first night.

do you have a mattress cover on it, I do &one; doesn't smell, or you can try some Lysol

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

I recall the smell. It did not last very long at all. We bought ours in the late fall. The weather precluded opening the windows. So we didn't have to air out the bedroom to eliminate the smell.

I really did not notice a smell. My husband put it together around 11:00 AM, I got home from a meeting around 3:00 PM and there was no smell at all. My husband said it had a slight rubber smell when he opened it up and got it set up, but nothing terribly offensive.

There was a slight smell for a day or two and then it completely went away. We have been very happy with our bed!

Just a slight smell I let it air out for about a day -- to come to full thickness before I made it up -- we have had the 3 beds for over 3 years and no problems

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 never checked for a "smell" when I received mine. I just automatically air anything like that when I get it for a couple of days. If there was a smell, it was gone in that short time. The pillows are wonderful, by the way.

I own 3 other temper-pedic like mattresses besides this latest one. The only smell I noticed is on initial unpacking...something chemical like, that quickly dissipated. I think it is probably a formaldehyde-like smell associated with many synthetic products, including carpets. Probably. for saftey's sake, the windows should be opened and the room aired out for the first 24 hours after unpacking.

To me, the smell wasn't that bad. I aired it out overnight and didn't smell it anymore. I have my case next to my bedside and it's fine.

The question to me used the word "small", I see with the post your question was about "smell". Now that we are on the same page...A minty smell is there when you open it. Open the foam up and lay on the bed to air out. It goes away in a day or two.

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 was worried about that too because I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and any kind of plastic smell would have driven me nuts. In short no, there is virtually no smell to mine when it arrived. The only smell I got from it was a little bit of a new cotton smell and that went away in minutes. The first night I had this my sheets hadn't shown up yet so I ended up sleeping directly on the mattress itself and I had no issues with smell. I have mine on a wood frame instead of a box spring because I like very firm beds, it does not seem to retain too much heat because I put off heat like a furnace when I sleep and I am not uncomfortable in it like I am in memory foam or similar beds.

In the beginning only. It wasnt a bad odor, it just smelled like there was something being cleaned kind of? Sorry can't explain too well. In any case the smell goes away. Also I thought it would have been bigger than the picture. But it doea what it needs to and we use it all day and all night since we've bought it.

Upon first opening it did have "that smell". But the smell subsided after being opened for a few days. This is being used on my sons college dorm bed and there have been no complaints of it moving around on the bed but he also uses a mattress pad over the top of it so that may help to keep it in place.

If memory serves, it took about a week for the odor from my Brentwood mattress to disappear. My other half has a very sensitive nose and has no problems with the mattress.

I don't smell anything after a day or so. It was a plastic smell to begin with, but nothing now, we have had ours for over a year. I have 3 of them. I finally learned to put down paper towel and then either the bedding or cloth and it is so much easier to clean!

Hi Connie. I don't know about anyone else, but my memory foam mattress does not have any odor. I did air out the mattress before folding into my queen size sofa bed. I waited and aired it out about 2 hours. So far no odors, and is very comfortable. My only concern is that my sofa bed and mattress do not measure precisely. What happens is that part of the mattress overflows from sides. The sofa bed mechanism is rubbing against the sides and wearing the sides to where pretty soon it may make holes on the side. Hope I answered your question Connie. Take Care. Francisco.

No...and my wife has a very keen sense of smell (which drives me crazy at times). The Roolen is 2 feet from her side of the bed and she has found no problems whatsoever.

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.
