Is there now a problem with Vellux blankets having an unremovable chemical smell? Our old one never had that.

I did not have a problem with smell from the Westpoint blankets. However, they were very THIN. I have not received my Martex blanket. Hope that is not the case.

I am not sure. I ended up throwing the blanket away. It was stiff and not very comfortable. It wasn't what I expected.

Not sure what smell people were referring to. Ours did not have any unusual odor. Kind of new leather smell for a very short period of time.They are in my son's bedroom, so somewhat of a confined space and we can't smell anything.

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.

If there was, I didn't notice it. We use them for our rentals and I haven't noticed any odors from them since we bought them months ago. If there is an odor, you can just wash it before you use it.

We have 2 of these heaters and neither one of them had/have any type of smell when being used.

Sad to say, I still detect that rubbery smell and I've wondered myself if it will completely leave. I'm not real convinced it will. I've put mine in a light flannel pillowcase and most of the time I'm not aware of the smell now. Makes you worry about fumes, though doesn't it?

There's no smell other than the regular factory smell found in most new items, including clothing, beddings, etc.. One wash and it will come out freshedly smelled with whatever the laundry detergent or softener fragrants you use. Not sure what all those bad comments about this blanket (including the "smell") are about, but there're none for the two blankets I bought (bought the 2nd one since the 1st one is so good...nice and soft). Also recommend you wash it the first time before use, since like clothing, it appears stiff when brand new, but becomes really nice and soft after the wash (regular machine wash, regular dry). It's perfectly fine to wash and dry this blanket. I had no problems with it. There's no smell other than the regular factory smell found in most new items, including clothing, beddings, etc..

I don't recall there being any smell and I have a problem with chemical odor. Although I don't use it often, this has been a useful spare bed for me. In my experience, none of these inflatable options can survive constant use.

I'm sorry. Mine did not come with a smell. :( Maybe ask them to replace it.

Not that I am aware of. I have been using this item for years with no problems. Maybe the smell is from the plastic.

To be honest my comforter did not have an odor. Based on the reviews I thought it would so I aired it out for a few hours even though I could not detect any smell. Never had a problem and really like this comforter.

What smell? Mine didn't have an unpleasant odor, but I have washed the cover on gentle in our washing machine once with no issues...Not sure you're supposed to do that but I have a small toddler so I went for it.

I did not. The smell wasn't really strong with ours, still I let it unfold outside and I left it outside all day. We brought it in in the evening, put a sheet on it and absolutely no complaints at all. I use it for my 6 year old son's loft bed. I understand that it will probably need to be be replaced in a few years, but he likes it, it's more comfortable than I thought and I am happy with it, considering it is a very inexpensive mattress. We have had it for 6 or 7 months now and there is no smell to it at all at this point. Hope that helps!

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

That's funny. I've had it on my dining room table for months, and it never smelled. I did hang it in the sun for a few hours to get the wrinkles out, which didn't work. Maybe that's why mine doesn't smell. I also have a very sensitive nose.

No. There is/was no product smell or odor. We were surprised how comfortable this bed was during our recent 2-week trip. A sheet or blanket over the top works great.Just make sure you have an electric pump (110v or car adapter). The battery pump provided was not that good.
