Anybody else find a strange, burnt smelling odor on the comforter after opening?

Make sure you purchased it from a trusted reseller. There are fake ones around.

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.

Mine is fairly new. When first used, I could small a plastic smell, and even after a few months still smell that; but it is not a burning odor. If you smell something burning, I suggest that you don't use it and return it for a replacement.

How weird. Mine smells kinda like leather. Maybe you should return it if it doesn't clear up.

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!

No, not at all. I have had the comforter approx 1 year and I love it. It is much less smelly than the down comforters I have bought and I am very sensitive to smell, ask my husband. We are now looking into buying a wool mattress topper and replacing another comforter with wool.

We just bought ours and it smells just like burning plastic. When it's unplugged it smells that way, too. It's the odor off the plastic housing.

Not really; I washed mine and the filling in the comforter has been kinda funky and some what mis-shaped since! Wish I hadn't done that one!

Funny you should ask, I just washed mine for the first time and it was fine. I have truly enjoyed this comforter and consider it a good value.

there may be some plasticky smell off a new unit. that just means it was recently manufactured instead of sitting on shelf for awhile. try letting it run on low for awhile. i just keep mine on overnight. it eventually goes away. if it continues still, ask to exchange.

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.

I detected no odor other than what I know wool and cotton to smell like. With anything fabric, especially bedding, I let it sit out open for a half day, before I make the bed with it. I really love my topper.

Did you read my comments about the smell? buy a down comforter or one of the new cooling pads -trust me.

It must be dry cleaned. I do not like part because some dry cleaning chemicals always stays with the comforter and I have to breath in all night long. It will be ruined if washed.

No, that is not normal. Mine did not have a burning smell. You might want to contact the seller.

I can't recall any particularly offending smell at all. I would imagine that immediately after opening it might have smelled of new synthetic fabric (pretty much camping tent like) but because it really open and well ventilated I can't remember smelling a thing while we were using it and gosh we loved it :)

not sure what caused the smell.....but I put some dryer sheets under it and top of it and the smell seemed to go away.
