Does your Confor Pedic Memory Foam Pillow have a chemical odor to it?

After removing the packaging, it needs to be aired out for a day or two. After that, I found no offensive odor at all.

Not really after allowing to air outside and put in pillow case, however it is so hard that my head cannot sink in so as to be in a neutral position. Impossible to repack to return. It got demoted to guest room

Yes. The smell is very strong when the pillow is new. The odor lessens over time.

honestly, there was a smell open opening it but I left it for 3 days while on vacation. when I returned I did not notice any lingering odor. I presume they are talking about the chemical odor attached but it usually dissipates....I live in Florida so I have the air on 24/7 and ceiling fans going. I much prefer this mattress to the coil spring I got rid of.

There is a light odor to it however the pillow comes with a very nice zip up cover the actual pillow is inside that so any odor emanating from the pillow will go unnoticed. I only caught a whiff of it when I took the pillow out of the cover to take a gander at it. I can't speak to the pillows heat retaining properties due to the fact I didn't use the pillow for even one night. The pillow is so thin it gave me no neck or head support at all. I ended up giving the pillow to a friend.

I own 3 other temper-pedic like mattresses besides this latest one. The only smell I noticed is on initial unpacking...something chemical like, that quickly dissipated. I think it is probably a formaldehyde-like smell associated with many synthetic products, including carpets. Probably. for saftey's sake, the windows should be opened and the room aired out for the first 24 hours after unpacking.

It was a while ago, but I am going to say no. I am very sensitive to these things and I would definitely remember a strong smell. There was a slight smell if I remember correctly, but I am pretty happy with it. I put it in a smaller pillow case that closes to maximize the firmness which lessens over time.

All foam mattresses and pillows smell bad when you first remove them from their packaging. We took the mattress out of the packaging and let it air out for 2-3 days before putting it on the bed. The smell was almost completely gone by then.

I prefer the I don't use the memory foam side, but have not detected any odor. I find it to be fine temperature wise.

Hello-The pillows do not have a foam odor. However, they do collect body heat aNd can get too warm.

There was no odor but I am not very impressed with the pillow itself. Not a comfortable pillow for me.

I have had this pillow for several weeks and have not notices a chemical odor. I usually aren't bothered by odors like my wife is, however she has not mentioned it to me.

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.

In my experiences with the foam mattresses and pillows, they all have a sort of chemical/packaging odor. It goes away by itself, you just have to let it air out for a few days, then it is completely gone. I don't recommend sleeping on it until then, but it really does go away. I don't know where you are located or what the weather is like, but you could put it outside during the day to help expedite the process. Really though, don't let the smell be the factor in not buying it. We ordered three different foam mattresses from three different places as well as foam pillows and they all had the same odor and in all of them, the smell completely vanished.

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.

Not at all. I bought it for a guest bedroom and My sister was the first one to use it. She loved the headboard and made no mention of any odor.

No it has micro beads and they have a chemical smell. It took about two months before the smell went away and I could use the pillow. Once the smell was gone it was really comfy and I could enjoy.

I aired my pillow for a day before I used it only because I had read that there might be an odor. I did not notice any odor and I use a pillow case over it. I love this pillow!
