Does this mattress smell ? Also how much heat it retains. I am expecting a low odor (or odor free) and cool bed. Does this satisfy ?

I was worried about that too because I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and any kind of plastic smell would have driven me nuts. In short no, there is virtually no smell to mine when it arrived. The only smell I got from it was a little bit of a new cotton smell and that went away in minutes. The first night I had this my sheets hadn't shown up yet so I ended up sleeping directly on the mattress itself and I had no issues with smell. I have mine on a wood frame instead of a box spring because I like very firm beds, it does not seem to retain too much heat because I put off heat like a furnace when I sleep and I am not uncomfortable in it like I am in memory foam or similar beds.

I never noticed any odor. The directions tell you to lay it out for 4 days before putting in on your bed. That helps it to air out so it doesn't smell.

No, I cannot smell anything at all. The fluffy stuff on the top is actually quite nice, sort of extra cushioney. My only complaint is that the instructions say not to run the electric cords under the mattress. So, I had to shove them under the bed. Turns out not to be a big problem. So far, I have used the heated mattress pad for about 2 weeks and like it find.

No smell noticed by me. I purchased to warm the bed before getting in and usually unplug after one hour and the bed is warm.

I have only tried out the sleep number bed in a store. Although it feels nice, I chose to go with the sleep innovation mattress because of price. So, let me tell you my experience with the sleep number: (1) It was shipped to me in a box with the mattress compressed. It was heavy but small enough to meander through doors. (2) Some people say that the mattress has a certain smell upon decompressing. I did not notice any smell. (3) Honestly, I ended up getting a bit sore on some of the first nights but I've been sleeping on the mattress now for nearly a year and can say it is extremely comfortable. (4) For those of you who have "hot" bodies, you will experience warmer sleep because the mattress doesn't dissipate heat all that well. I end up sleeping without a blanket on most nights (I live in a tropic climate) because the bed does retain heat and keeps me warm. (5) I rotate the bed every few months to ensure that I am not sleeping in the same spot over and over. I do this to preserve the mattress. I do weight 250+ lbs. So far, the strategy has worked well... no permanent sagging of the bed. Since you can't test the sleep innovation bed in a store, might I recommend that you try out the cousin to the sleep innovation at Costco called "Novaform." This will give you a feel for how the sleep innovation mattress is. It isn't the exact same mattress but I understand that it is manufactured by the same company. Coupled with my high-thread-count sheets, the sleep innovation mattress is soft and yet not too soft. Love it.

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?

No strong odor was noticed. When I first opened it, there was a little smell, but it went away quickly. I opened the mattress in the afternoon and slept on it that night, and I couldn't smell it at all.

I don't know about cool gel. But I have not felt hot at all with this mattress! It has been amazing! My husband also says he has no issues about being too hot!

It did have a slight odor. More clean, new materials, than chemical, though. The foam is more of pillow filling that was odorless. The entire bed comes apart and is washable if that helps at all.

Mine smells pretty bad but I let it air out about a week before I put it on the bed now I don't notice any smell but it is definitely not very soft

Mine felt almost warm or moist and soft when I got it. We waited two days to sleep on it and it's firm and nice now, and the smell diminished by then. I think it's best not to sleep on it right away, some people have claimed that it needs time to set.

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.

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 had mine delivered 36 hours back ... it expanded to full size in an hour and there is no odour. The mattress is heavy after it expands. I had no problems as such with regards to inflating to the right size. i do notice the corners are not as sharp and depicted and happy with the quality of the white cover provided. Nevertheless a good buy ...

I didn't notice a smell. I layers it out for 24 hours and then layer it on my bed, put sheets over it and never noticed a smell. But it's so comfortable. Worth every penny.

I've been sleeping on mine for three months. There is no odor. The c-cell powered pump help me keep it at the rigidity that I like. Can't believe the quality at such a low price.
