Does the Silicone really have that weird smell mentioned in a 1 star review?

No it does not. I don't really know where that person got that from, but my case doesn't stink at all. �

It's marked Silicone. Feels like silicone. Haven't tried it yet so I can't say that it works like silicone.

Mine had no unpleasant smell. Yours may have come in contact with a wandering ill smell during packing and/or shipping.

I dont believe so because it smells that way right out of the individual plastic wrap. Its not bad and doesnt linger but its unusual. Ive been happy otherwise, and its great on my baby too.

A little bit, but a quick rinse before throwing it in the dishwasher gets it right out. Has not been a big deal for me. Don't know if silicone. Feels soft like rubber, but I'm not sure. I'm latex allergic but haven't had any reaction.

It smells and feels like silicone, but there is nothing labeled on the box.

What you're smelling might be ionized air. It has a odd smell that you'll get used right away. Then again it could be plastic and you might have a problem so I'm not sure if you're satisfied with my response. The ionized air smell is a good thing If that is in fact what the smell is

Nope! I didn't even notice any smell. I just sniffed the cover - LOL - and it's only a faint leathery smell.

It doesn't sound normal. Clear jel is a corn starch, it shouldn't have much of a smell at all.

I am wearing a bracelet right now, and I do not notice any rubber smell. I am not sure about the rubber vs. silicone issue. You could probably contact the mfg. to find out. They do vary in price, maybe that is because of the material used.

I have not noticed an odor on the mattress. I'm hoping that it was a fluke for that particular reviewer. I recommend submitting a comment directly to the reviewer and asking for an update...

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.

I didn't have either of those issues. The rubber is quite thick and helps alot. I don't know what people are talking about with the smell, mine didn't smell at all. To be honest, when I opened the package I was very surprised at how sturdy and heavy these were considering the price.

I believe it is. Translucent somewhat soft silicone. I popped it in and immediately saw 100% improvement.

I find it hard to believe I purchased the same item as was purchased by the people answering this question. There is a definitely a smell - kind of like a strong plastic smell, which is there even when the unit is not turned on (and just gets stronger when it is). Granted, I've only had this for about 5 days, so hopefully it will go away.

Hello! I checked the label and doesn't say anything about silicone. Good luck!

Look at the ingredients, there are several versions of the same product. The ones that have resin, mackerel and soy in them do have a horrible fishy smell, the ones that don't smell just fine.
