Actually, I dont smell any odors...but if you do, I suggest you just air it out before you use it. Hope that helps!

Hello Mira, Thanks for your interest in our products. As principle, we, at Bio Sleep Concept are using only "All Natural" and "Organic" components for our final products. In the case of the 3" Wool Topper, the cover is made out of 100% certified organic cotton cover, filled with Eco Valley pure wool. There is no spray of any kind on any of our products. What may happen, as the wool is totally pure and natural, is that the first few days after receiving the topper, you may smell the wool. This odor disappears very quickly. We receive the batch of wool from our North West growers and we card it in our shop. If the wool is very fresh, the smell may be more obvious for a small while. To finish, all of our products are chemical free and are never sprayed of anything. Please, do not hesitate to contact us for any more questions on our products. Sincerely, CM

I did not experience any oder, and perfectly fine with the product. Thought it would be a little thicker, and does not spring back like a foam topper, but super comfortable.

I detected no odor other than what I know wool and cotton to smell like. With anything fabric, especially bedding, I let it sit out open for a half day, before I make the bed with it. I really love my topper.

Hi Mirrra, it is just the natural odour of new wool. I recognize it because we always had 100% wool carpet at home. I find the smell quite soporific, but unfortunately it disappears after about a week. I have answered this question a lot of times for amazon. It is very hard to describe a smell, hay stored in a barn probably comes closest, it is definitely 100% natural.

It has a mild odor when you first open it, but it dissipates in a day or two. We love this mattress topper.

I am sorry I won't be much help - my silk comforter did not have any odor! My guess would be that the plastic bag the comforter was packed in probably held in any odors (no telling how long that comforter had been sitting in a warehouse). My suggestion - spread it outside for a day and see if Mother Nature takes care of it for you!

You have to spread it out and let it air out (I think for 24 to 48 hours) before putting on the bed. I think the directions that come with the topper say that, but it's been a while since I bought it so can't remember for sure. I had no problem with odor after the initial airing.

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...

No, there is no odor. It is recommended that you wash it before you use it though. Mostly that is just because it is vacuum sealed so washing it will loosen the fibers and release any possible odors that are left over from the packaging process. I washed, dried, and put it on my mattress the day it came and have no issues.

Sorry to hear that, ours did not have a smell since we received it...not sure what to advise you to do

No. There was no odor. It is a really soft light comforter. Very good product.

Tough question to answer... is this an odor from the silicone material or from being used?

We didn't notice any odor, but we did let it air out for 2 days before we put it on the bed. It is the BEST mattress topper we've ever had!

Hello Fredric, I believe the odor is due to the fact that this is genuine leather. I have had mine for about a month and it has not gone away yet.

I'm assuming it's due to memory foam. Most memory foam has strong smell. Mine didn't last long

We did not have an issue. The smell was reminiscent of a "new product smell" that dissipated once it was no longer new. I would imagine that it might be remedied with a cleaning?

There is a smell, but I think it's from the actual buckwheat hulls. I didn't care for smell, but it tends to dissipate in time. That aside, I didn't care for the feel or weight of the pillow.

Mine didn't have an odor that I recall.. If it did, it went away real quick. Anything new and especially with plastic will have some slight odor but should go away as it airs out.

There is not an odor at all. You should be happy with this purchase, it may have less fortified support, however, it is very comfortable to sleep on.

Tasha, I also cannot confirm if the blanket has been treated. I can say it is the best blanket I have ever had. It had no odor and was very soft and comfortable straight from the package. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
