Is there now a problem with Vellux blankets having an unremovable chemical smell? Our old one never had that.

I did not have a problem with smell from the Westpoint blankets. However, they were very THIN. I have not received my Martex blanket. Hope that is not the case.

I am not sure. I ended up throwing the blanket away. It was stiff and not very comfortable. It wasn't what I expected.

I keep blankets in there, although I guess I didn't do it for the first couple of weeks--only because it wasn't blanket weather at that time. But, I didn't notice any chemical odors.

Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package. I did not find any offensive smell, really, but go ahead and inflate it, and let it air for an hour or so, outside if you must.....I just found that mine had a new product, clean smell. So hope that helps. Any chemical smell will subside shortly, in my experience, and it's not even that "bad". I have purchased several of INTEX's mattresses and have been delighted with the products. Best of luck, and enjoy your very well made mattress. kk voicebender.com Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package.

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.

That's funny. I've had it on my dining room table for months, and it never smelled. I did hang it in the sun for a few hours to get the wrinkles out, which didn't work. Maybe that's why mine doesn't smell. I also have a very sensitive nose.

Sad to say, I still detect that rubbery smell and I've wondered myself if it will completely leave. I'm not real convinced it will. I've put mine in a light flannel pillowcase and most of the time I'm not aware of the smell now. Makes you worry about fumes, though doesn't it?

Yes, we had 2 and both did smell when they first arrived, kind of mixed things in a warehouse. We left them out in the garage for a month or two prior to use them. Later, we did not experience any smell. Or perhaps we were used to it??? Now we do not need them but keep them just for camping. Good luck!

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.

No Linda it did not smell like moth balls or have any other strange odors. I have been using the blanket often and all I can say is so far so good.I hope this helps you.

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.

Not that I am aware of. I have been using this item for years with no problems. Maybe the smell is from the plastic.

Personally, we had no issues with the chemical smell everyone else reported. There was a faint warehouse smell. Went away within a day. LOVE this couch. Greatest value ever!

We wiped everything out prior to the initial use and I never noticed any chemical smell. Maybe something is wrong with your init.

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!

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

I just received a full mattress and other than a non-offensive and subtle "new" smell while unpacking it did not have any of the unpleasant odor that people have described. Mine came with a cover zippered on it, and I wonder if that might have perhaps reduced any chemical scent?
