I am sensitive to chemical smells. does this bed have a chemical odor when first opened? Does the foam have an odor?

I actually sent this bed back. It has like a polyester fill. Probably will go flat in a short time...also made too much noise because it has a waterproof liner. Did not like.

It did have a slight odor. More clean, new materials, than chemical, though. The foam is more of pillow filling that was odorless. The entire bed comes apart and is washable if that helps at all.

There was no smell when I unpacked it and I didn't detect any after I removed the plastic vacuum seal either.

You will be alright, the foam does not have any noticeable smell, but remember I did buy this foam a year and half ago, the company probably changed. But there no smell at all.

The mattress had a minimal smell. I opened it up and placed it on the sofa bed and left it open for a few hours didn't smell anything later.

We did not notice a smell that was of any consequence. When we first opened it sure it smelled like foam but uh hello it's made of foam!

No, mine did not, and I am severely allergic to any chemical smells even in the slightest bit. It it very comfortable. If you sleep on it nightly, you just have to refresh with a little bit of air, about every 3-4 days. I love mine.

I've noticed no odor whatsoever. Either at arrival or today, 3 months later. Very comfortable mattress.

I read many reviews that clammed this, I never really had a smell. I did let both the box spring and mattress air out for a couple hours before I put any sheets on it. I bought 2 beds and neither one of them smell. Hope this helped. They are both great beds.

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.

No, it is not Memory Foam. We sell a lot of these beds an have never had a complaint about smell. The Mattress is an Inner Spring with a layer of comfort foam under the sleeping surface.

No. There is/was no product smell or odor. We were surprised how comfortable this bed was during our recent 2-week trip. A sheet or blanket over the top works great.Just make sure you have an electric pump (110v or car adapter). The battery pump provided was not that good.

I had no problem with smell. Of course there is a little odor until it airs for about an hour. I have a mattress that I paid $3000 for and I sleep better on this on top of a futon.

It's the same type of foam used in regular mattresses, and the fabric can be removed and washed if it gets dirty. So, no bad smell.

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.

At first it smelled like new upholstery and i believe the memory foam did have a distinct smell, but it faded away. I believe the foam just has a smell when its new. Didn't bother me

Hi Marilyn, All foam products will have a very temporary and light "new foam smell" as with many new materials. We recommend removing the zippered cover and letting the foam open air for a few hours if you have sensitivity to smell. We will gladly accept returns which have any defects.

I can only tell you we've had this mattress for over a year and there has been no problems at all. The moving of the adjustable part of the bed does not seem to be creating any problem. And let me add, we never had a bad smell to deal with as others have reported; and I have a very sensitive nose.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but it looks like the other two answers gave a pretty good description of the foam. I had one person ask me if it had a rolled edge around the top, and it does not. I use the mattress in my spare bedroom, but my guests have said it is comfortable. It did have a weird smell when I first got it, but after letting it air for a week, the odor went away, and their is no smell now.
