can you please tell when that awefull smell will go away I washed it but it is still there. I am curious now if it ever will go away.

Mine was stolen out of my fridge at work, so I didn't get the chance to see if the smell ever went away. I can tell you in the 6 months I owned it, it still had a strong odor. My guess is that best case, it could lessen, but I don't think it will ever completely disappear.

The smell goes away after a while. I would spray it with fabreeze or something like that It has cardboard inside and washing it would destroy it.

I have never washed it before use as it is sanitized. After washing there will be a slight change in the feel/smell, but I thought it was only negligible. Now after 100s of washings it is still a favorite!

My pillow absolutely REEKED when I first received it. Seemed way worse then most people are reporting, maybe it was a fresh batch of foam or something but the smell lingered for more than a few days. Even six months later if I stick my face in it I can smell it. That being said I'm sure sticking it in the wash would help rid the pillow of its chemical stench right away and after the smell was gone/tolerable I really liked the pillow.

I let mine air out for a couple days after washing really well. Smell goes away after a while.

I think you put it in the wash. I would do a web search to find more answers.

My mattress pad never smelled at all! I am sorry that yours does. I am guessing you have washed it and the smell is still there?! I would tell Amazon about it and get them to replace it with another one. NO reason at all for the smell to linger......

Mine has no smell whatsoever. Just received it last week. Maybe you should send it back!

I never noticed any smell when I received it. I have had it over a year now and after washing it yesterday I checked and it smells like my laundry soap. I would give it a wash that should work.

You can remove the outer covering and toss it in the wash. Or you could try to vacuum it. The smell on mine dissipated in a little over a week. So you have to deal with it for now. The more you "re-fur" it, the sooner it stops smelling weird.

Sorry for taking so long, found it in my Spam folder. I have washed mine several times with a washcloth and some soap and water. Be careful using chemical (Windex, etc.)

To be honest, I've had this for over 2 years now. When the smell went away, I have no idea. However, it is gone now and I love it.

Mine just came and it has a horrendous chemical smell. Will update in a week or two and let you know if it persists.

it depends on how much you put on. Yes the smell remains, I had people move away from me in public even after a shower. And if it gets on your clothes cause of sweat it gets into the clothes. It took me three washes to get it out.

It's the way it smells for about two or three days. It does go away if not contact the seller mine did the same thing and is fine now. Flipping it over once or twice helped it air out.

I hand wash and have never had a problem with odors sticking. For that kind of problem I would try soaking in a little baking soda (or sit it out in the sun for a day). Good Luck!
