Hi, I've had my topper for about 8 months and in the past couple of months it has developed a strong sulfur smell that wasn't there initially. ideas?

Yikes. Sorry. I would first contact the manufacturer. See if they have had any history with this problem.

No that is not why. There is a small chemical smell when you get the pillow mistky from whatever the material they use to make the pillow out of. It does go away. Initially i thought this pillow was too high/firm..., but now i love it!

I noticed it too, I only own it for about a day or two. I will give it a week or two max before returning it. No way I can live with this smell, it smells like brand new plastic x1000.

mine had a very slight odor no more than any new pc of furniture, i slept on the same day i unpacked it, i've had it 3 months and would highly recommend this product

I called the company and they said that it was some kind of coating that eventually wears off. So far the smell has not gone away and I think it is something in there brake pads.

If you mean the seal around the lid. Mine does not smell. Of course I've used mine many times, but I never noticed that before I used it. Maybe try washing in hot soapy water and let it dry and see if it still smells. Good Luck. Deo

Sounds possibly rancid. It does NOT have a strong smell. If anything it is very gentle smelling. Almost without an odor. Get it replaced if new.

I didn't notice any smell with mine and I'm pretty sensitive to odors. I'd recommend letting it air out in a well ventilated place for a few days or weeks until it dissipates.

I think it's just the processed cheap tire smell. I have it for 6 months now and smell was gone after couple weeks of use during my move. I still use it occasionally and its hidden behind a guest bed in a room right now. There is absolutely no smell of it in the room right now.

I didn't notice that. I think there may be some rubber smell, but it's not very serious, and with time flies I think the smell will disappear.

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?

I can't say that mine had that kind of an odor to it when it arrived but it did have somewhat of a chemical smell that lingered for a day or so but went away rather quickly. I assumed it may have been from being stored in some place with some type of chemical. But mine didn't have that strong of an smell, just a kind of harsh new processed plastic chemical smell, if you know what I mean. And like I said, it faded away within a day or so. Sorry, that's probably not much help... :(

Hmm it shouldn't smell like rubber. I would bring it back to the store and exchange it for a new one.

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.

With it being a new item, it may take a little while for the smell to go away. You could probably take a very lightly dampened cloth with fabreeze and wipe it down to see if that helps a little.

That smell is the water-proofing on the material; it will no go away but if you let the poncho air out and sun it on both sides (30 minutes to a side should do it this time of year [May], more sun = less time). If you try to neutralize the odor with chemicals, dilute with water and do not scrub; use a soft cloth and be gentle!
