What can be done to get rid of the odor from the foam? How long does it have to air out? Does it ever go away?

My chair doesn't have an odor. I love my chair, it's very comfortable and convenient.

Yes it does. At least it did for me. Open it up. Air it out in an open area. Another tip when I encounter smells is a small bowl of white vinegar placed nearby overnight. Let me know how it goes!

Minimal odor when first opened. Barely noticeable after few hours then gone.

My chair didn't have an odor after unpacking it. Maybe use an air purifier next to it for a few days. I had to do that with my foam pad for my bed. That really had a bad smell. Hope this helps.....You could probably air it outside for 24 hours too.

Ours didn't have that odor to it at all. But I would try some kinda heavy detergent. Hope this helps

I didn't notice any smell from the beginning. I also bought the wood foundation and smelled a little fresh cut wood smell from that for a couple days but none of the "foam"mell others have commented about.

After airing it out for 48 hours as recommended. It still had quite the strong smell. So one weekend when I was away. I stripped away my bed ppened the bedroom window and aired out over the weekend. Now the odor is considerably less still there but cry mild and much less annoying.

There is a smell, the same that any foam product has. It should eventually dissipate.

I received mine as a gift just yesterday. Very strong smell like I had just painted the entire bedroom. This was after the mattress had sat for 2 days to expand in another room in the house. I am hoping that someone can seriously tell me this odor goes away.

Initially yes. But that has been the same with every type of memory foam that I have purchased. It comes with instructions that tells you to air it out overnight. It still had a small odor the next day, but after that it was not noticeable. By the time I changed the sheets at the end of the week, it was gone entirely.

The smell is bad, but it goes away quickly in a well ventilated area. My suggestion would be to fluff it daily and turn it over daily until the smell dissipates.

Not long, considering how compressed the foam looks...maybe a couple of hours at most. It's MAGIC!!!

Just to add to P.Tran's answer, you may try adding a 1/2 tsp of white vinegar in a sink of water for the final rinse to get rid of odor.

You will be alright, the foam does not have any noticeable smell, but remember I did buy this foam a year and half ago, the company probably changed. But there no smell at all.

The box is only (approximately) 17 X 8 X 14. The topper is air compressed (think SpaceBag). Just remove it from the box, open the compression bag, then let it air (to remove the foam rubber odor) for 48 hours. And yes, the foam odor does, absolutely, disperse. After airing there is no odor. 'Couldn't be more please with price, delivery and quality of this product!

Use a mild soap and water, because the foam is too porous to use anything else. Any stronger chemical could set up in the foam, which may cause skin irritation or other long lasting effects.

When I first recieved the foam pad and lad it out in a Spare room., Yes it did have an odor. After after about 24-48 hours the odor dissappears. I absolutely love my foam and have had it for about a yr.

I actually didn't get rid of the odor. It did go away after a few weeks of being outside in the toy shed. How ever I did have to wash it once cause my boys got it covered in mud. When I washed it I used auto soap that I normally use on my car. After that point there was a mild odor still from the car but now it has no odor at all. So it will go away with time.

I purchased it for my wife and unpacked it myself. I do not remember any distinctive odor. She used it the day it arrived and every day since. Just to double check, I asked her if there is or was any "foam" odor, and she replied "not that I'm aware of". Hope that helps. And sorry about her ending the comment with a preposition-drives me nuts !

Initially, the foam does have a smell. We aired it out for about 2 weeks and then it was ok. We are sensitive to smells. You might want to wash the cover to speed up the process. Any foam in a plastic will have a smell and we were aware of it since it is not the first foam topper or mattress we bought.
