Does Quietwalk REALLY smell? I read the 1 bad review about the smell. I am chemically sensitive so I cannot deal with chemical smells. Please someone answer soon, thanks!

Not from chemicals. If it gets damp it will smell like mildew if not dryed quickly

I am sensitive to smells and I didn't have a problem with it or find it offensive.

I have a review out here on quiet walk from MP global company. We put down 1000 feet of laminate flooring. Had the quiet walk down for about four days before installing laminate and neither my wife or myself ever noticed any smells. You can also call him MP global and ask for customer service and a gentleman named Dwayne and he can answer any questions about the quiet walk.

No smell that I can determine, as long as the Quietwalk stays clean and dry. The potential "off-gassing" of whatever flooring you use, on top of the underlayment, is the main thing you should be concerned about, if you're sensitive to such stuff.

I read the same review you did, and if you notice, the smell didn't appear till after they pulled it up. It sounds like a case of moisture coming through the concrete and causing mold. This would have happened with any product. The underlayment did its job and blocked the moisture and smell from the living space. In my mind it is a case of "user confusion", not product failure.

No, no chemical smell. You could put it down and occupy the room immediately.

It's a pretty strong rubber smell indeed. Mine has softened but still has that smell, but only noticeable to me. I love the mat so much I don't even notice it anymore. I've asked people next to me at yoga class if they can smell it, because I don't want to invade their space, and they don't notice it. I have noticed that since I have left it in my car this time of year (it's been extremely cold, like 4 degrees) that the smell has softened even more. Perhaps using a yoga mat cleaner will help dissipate the smell for you. It will take time however. I just don't mind it I guess. One of the reasons I got this mat is because I sweat so much in yoga class and was slipping. I don't slip at all on this mat, unless it's an ungodly hot summer day. I don't do hot yoga, but our studio is a warm studio, temp set at 82 degrees for class. If your hands and feet sweat excessively, I recommend a towel for your mat. Most people in my class use one, but I haven't had to since I got this mat. BTW, I love the saffron color I got. It's cheerful (totally my personality) and no one else has it.

Can't say that I had this experience, but I would not be concerned. Everyone has different sensitivities to smell, but I can tell you I have had mine installed for the past two months, and it is great....would highly recommend this product.

I am not overly sensitive, but I know what you mean. Sometimes I go in a store and the smell of plastic is overwhelming - I can't wait to get out of there! There has never been a chemical/urethane smell to my mat - even when it was new.It is a terrific product!!!!! I have owned one for 10 months and I bought my dog a mat as well.

Yes smell a bit but for me it no problem. It not too strong smell but if you want something not to smell I think there are some product that no smell at all but I could not remember which one.

Totally. I could smell it already when the clerk loaded it into our car. I opened the box in the garage to air it out for a few weeks. We just set it up in the nursery and I can still smell a "chlorine-like" odor. I don't understand how this is a "baby-safe" finish if it is giving off this scent?

I didn't experience the smell! Check with customer service! Hope that helped!

The smell did not bother me, but I suppose each of us have a different sensitivity. It's a citris smell (orange mostly) which could probably be called strong by some people, but again, I was fine with it. It disipates quickly so I don't think it would it stay long in your car.

I am super allergic to fragrances so I use the free sent Febreeze, it still has a smell but its a fresh smell which I can tolerate. Give it a try, Walmart sells it.

We do not experience such an odor. I would return if such phenomenon occurred. Sorry about your experience !

Dear Traci and others, MamaDoo Kids here. Thank you for your interest in the Smart Mattress Topper! Over 98% of our past customers did not smell anything other than your normal new foam smell... So even if there was a 2% that noticed some kind of weird smell we decided to change foam manufacturers. As you can all read in the last 3 years this has been a no issue.Have an awesome day!The MamaDoo Kids Team

Diana, I have to tell you that I didn't notice any bad smell at all. They smelled a very little like rubber at first, but why wouldn't they. I don't notice anything at this point. There was nothing annoying in the smell as far as I was concerned. It could be that some people are much more sensitive to some smells than others, like those that really can't tolerate some perfumes, etc.. I hope this helps. I will also mention for others as well, that I thought the yellow color was kind of neat and not garish at all.

Supposed to smell bad?! I've read about some claiming that their urine smells poor from using this multivitamin. It does NOT smell BAD to me or affect the smell of urine either, no effect like any mentioned have been an issue for me. Hope that answer helps :)

I wish I could help you. Wind Song "was" one of my favorites. I had a cardboard tube of Wind Song body powder and I absolutely loved it. It had the loveliest smell. I could use it like cologne. I liked to put it on my arms and chest at night and it smelled good all night and the next morning. I understood from the sales clerks they didn't make it any more. So I ordered the body powder--2 times--the first one didn't smell nearly good as what I had before, and the second one I have now I just don't like at all. The odor is actually a little offensive to me. I thought maybe I had changed somehow. I have used the cologne and also think there is a change in the scent and the time it lasts on me. So I have been disappointed, too. I didn't get in touch with the company but that may the only way to find out what it going on. I think we could Google it. But you are right, there has been changes in their Wind Song products. Sadly. Mary Ann Froelich

I have a sensitive nose. I did not notice a strong chemical smell even when the product was new. Now I stuck my nose right on it and gave a good sniff. There is a faint odor of neoprene or the like but not smell able from one foot away. I bought this product a bit ago and worry that the manufacturer changed suppliers for its raw materials since then so I am reluctant to reassure you.

Julie, I am also very sensitive to fragrances and I have not had a problem with this product. It has a very light scent that dissipates very quickly.

Honestly, my units smell so bad, I can hardly think of anything else. I can't say they're terribly noisy, but there's a definite sound. No rattles or buzzes developed, which is often the problem with bedroom units. If you have other options, take them though - once the smell sets in, it can't be fixed!
