One reviewer said that this product had a very strong odor. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

I bought this for my 21 year old grandaughter who suffers from an esophogil problem. She likes hers. She lives in another state so I am not sure about the odor. She did not mention it. It has been a very big help to her. I do know other such pillows have an initial odor that goes away ini a few days. Maybe you could let it sit and air a couple days. I am betting that is all it needs.

Mine did not smell the same. Be careful, maybe something is wrong. If I were you I return it and replace it with another one.

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.

I did notice an odor. Part of it was from the packaging. Part of it was from the materials the bench was made from. However I went ahead and assembled it and after a couple of days I didn't even notice the smell any longer. It had dissipated. Come to think about it the smell is pretty common from products made in China. If you have a very sensitive nose this may or may not be an issue.

I purchased one for a friend of mine. She also complained of the plastic odor. I advised her to wait a few more days and if it persisted, we would return it. She waited another 2 to 3 days and the odor was gone and she likes it. This is typical on many electric appliances of plastic. Hope it works for you.

At first, yes, the odor is strong. As I have it inflated and it is out, the odor becomes less and less noticeable. Maybe, I just get used to it but that's how it has not been disagreeable for me. Hope this helps.

I can't say that mine had that kind of an odor to it when it arrived but it did have somewhat of a chemical smell that lingered for a day or so but went away rather quickly. I assumed it may have been from being stored in some place with some type of chemical. But mine didn't have that strong of an smell, just a kind of harsh new processed plastic chemical smell, if you know what I mean. And like I said, it faded away within a day or so. Sorry, that's probably not much help... :(

No strong odor was noticed. When I first opened it, there was a little smell, but it went away quickly. I opened the mattress in the afternoon and slept on it that night, and I couldn't smell it at all.

Well，I think it does has smell because I was shocked by it at first. It is a problem that I didn't mention before. But the smell may be not that strong.

I did not notice a strong odor with mine. Air it out before putting it together and return it if it still has an odor is my recommendation.

I did and it seemed fine however it had a strange smell but that could be me. I have a strong sense of smell.

"Strong Odor"-encountered nothing like that. It's tape. Like "Scotch" tape; only wider and a slight bit thicker. This is over-think for a simple, cheap (but useful) product.
