Is there an odor from the plastic or foam for these mats?

Yes, there was only for the first 3 to 4 days. I don't smell anything any more

There is no remarkable odor. When just opened from the protective sleeve the mat came in there was a slight plastic smell. I've had the mat for months and don't smell any odor in the room it's used in, even up close there is no overwhelming smell of plastic , only a slight one.

There was an odor when they were new but I don't notice it anymore. I never thought it was so bad that I would keep anyone from tumbling on it. We have two of these mats and love them.

Yes. We keep in a well ventilate area. The odor is not as strong now. We agree with PHL to SFO. We too enjoy the mats. The boys use it for outside workouts with a tarp under it so it is protected from the small limbs, rocks you might find in the yard.

There was an odor when I first opened up the mats from the protective plastic but I can't say that there is an odor now. Once the mat is opened up and used the odor has gone away.

I wish I could answer your question. It is impossible for me to distinguish. The odor has settled down, but it is still lingering. I would say the odor was a 10+++ for the first few weeks, and now is a 3 out of ten. It has improved, but is in no terms gone. I would not have small children play on this mat. It is unfortunate because otherwise, I love this mat.

No odor whatsoever & I have an acute sense of smell. However, we have had these for a while so I don't remember if there was an odor at first. My daughter is a gymnast & uses these frequently. They are good quality & well worth it!

I have purchased two of these mats. The first one was too small because I didn't notice that you could order different sizes. I used that one in a smaller downstairs room and used the larger one for myself in my office. I did notice a plastic odor (very faint) on the first one (like newly formed plastic) but no odor at all on the second one (the larger of the two). If it holds up and doesn't break over time I will be very pleased with the mat.

There is a smell, the same that any foam product has. It should eventually dissipate.

No plastic odor at all. The cord is 9' long & detaches from the pad so the pad can be machine washed.

No they did not have any plastic odor upon opening them in my opinion. I was impressed with the quality of them, they feel more like fabric than plastic to me.

I didn't notice a smell. I think they are made of wood. I'm very happy with them they are sturdier than I thought they wohld be and the price is unbeatable.

I have no ideal. But I will tell you that I had no odor at all with my cover. Sometimes the odor of the factory gets inside the packaging and that might be what they smell. All automotive products has some sort of smell as they are mostly made from petroleum. That's where plastics come from.

I didn't notice anything like a strong plastic smell. Perhaps they should be put thru the dishwasher first. I have been using them for several months without any problem.

Hi Sandra! Mine was fine. Smelled a little strong of new plastic but the odor dissipated after the first washing with some dishes. I love these mats; they fit great in the sinks and look good with the stainless steel sink. I don't leave mine in the sink though; I only use them when I'm washing dishes so I don't know about staining.

No odor that l have noticed. But the cushion is not used daily, just occasionally. That may make a difference.

No I did not notice any type of odor from this loveseat....the plastic protective shipping cover may have had a small odor...not the couch

I didn't experience any odor with my bench. It came boxed up and wrapped in plastic, and once it was assembled ( legs put on) it was ready to go - no lingering plastic odor or anything. I really like the padding - it has enough cushion so that i can practice for a 2 hour stretch and have no problems.

Our mats did not smell. But if you get a sunny day putting them outside should help. Have a great day!

None that I could detect. The car was new at the time, and still had the new car smell. Have had no problems with the mats at all.

Tough question to answer... is this an odor from the silicone material or from being used?
