does the mat have an odor?

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.

I am not overly sensitive, but I know what you mean. Sometimes I go in a store and the smell of plastic is overwhelming - I can't wait to get out of there! There has never been a chemical/urethane smell to my mat - even when it was new.It is a terrific product!!!!! I have owned one for 10 months and I bought my dog a mat as well.

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

When I first unpacked my mat it did smell rubbery, but the smell went away with time.

I'm not sure how helpful this is, but we also bought one 6 months ago, I can't remember if it had an odor but if it did it doesn't now. I'd wipe it down if you haven't and leave it in an open space to air out and see how it does.

There is no odor at all. Been using mine over a year and it still is in perfect shape. Recommend 100%.

This mat was one of the thickest we had found for this price and I did a lot of research. There was a slight rubber smell when taking it out of the box, but I honestly didn't really notice the smell after the first day.

No. It has no smell. It has lovely material, and it is a little hard, but my son sleeps on it every night. It does not smell, and nothing in terms of hardness that a seven dollar egg crate mat didn't fix. I love it. I was so happy with it when it came on Christmas a year and a half ago.

There was NO Odor other than a plastic smell.. Grass rug should smell slightly plastic but NO urine odor! These are absolutely wonderful units and puppies learn very quickly to use Piddle Pad.i would ask for a replacement? AMAZON is VERY GOOD about replacement if you feel it's been used. Hope this helps! :)

Had mine for a few months. I didn't notice any extreme odor when it arrived or now. Good large mat.

I didn't notice any odor. I do wipe off the covers from time to time with a mild detergent and damp cloth.

I didn't notice any odors. It does come in plastic packaging that may have some odor at first.

No. There's no odor at all. I love mine, and I'm getting one for my sister for Christmas.

Mine did not have any odor whatsoever. I let it lay on the bed for a couple days before I put sheets over it just in case as I had read reviews where people said they had to air it out.

I have never noticed any odor what so ever . From the moment I took the artist bench out of the box (so easy to assemble) I have loved it ! It is comfortable, beautiful, and very sturdy. It is gorgeous with my grand piano and I sit on it daily for hours and just love this Bench!

No, my sister, who uses it, has not detected any type of odor from the stool. She loves it.
