How do you get rid of the unpleasant smell of the foam?

I did not have that problem. Do you live in a cold climate? If so, try putting it in your garage overnight on a really cold day. That might help.

We did not have this problem since when we open the products box we knew without using it was not what we wanted. However even though we did not use the product the company refused a returnand our refund. We have since received no help from Amazon inrecovery.

I have not run into this problem. Try ask.com and perhaps they gave an answer.

It had a slight smell of foam when opened but the smell went away in a few hours.

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 haven't had that issue. Maybe try vinegar to neutralize any smell and then your regular detergent.

Wipe with a damp cloth. Since foam pads are replaceable, I would imagine you can remove them to wash them by hand with mile soap, dry and replace.

I did not see any instructions for cleaning, so I assume they want you to buy replacements. Since they are foam, i simply rinse mine out in warm water, towel dry them, and allow to air dry. That seems to work fine.

I put a mattress pad on it. It will keep the foam clean longer. I suppose you wouldn't have to. But I do

Leave it out in the air...Mother Nature has her way of cleansing bad odors quickly. I didn't have an odorproblem with my case but I would do the above if I did. Good luck!

You need a good deal of hose pressure. Low pressure results in little to no foam. Also, select the proper hole for siphoning soap. Karcher all-purpose car soap works well.

Mine didn't smell at all. I would try hot soapy water or some vinegar and baking soda for the smell. If it doesn't go away amazon may exchange them. Good luck.

I don't know what smell you are referring to. I have never noticed a smell with egg crate foam, in terms of being irregular for the material.

The smell is bad, but it goes away quickly in a well ventilated area. My suggestion would be to fluff it daily and turn it over daily until the smell dissipates.

The instructions are to take the pillow cover off and let it air out for 2-3 days before use. We did that and the smell went away. Expose it so all you see is the foam material and let it air out.

I washed it in my washing machine, let it soak a bit to try to get out the strong rubber odor. Then I let it air dry. It helped a lot!

It was a temporary, "new foam" smell. Not obnoxious. Like when you get a new car and it has a new car smell, except the new foam smell was subtle and went away fairly quickly. I remain pleased with the purchase.

Just to add to P.Tran's answer, you may try adding a 1/2 tsp of white vinegar in a sink of water for the final rinse to get rid of odor.
