Is there an odor from the plastic or foam for these mats?

Yes, there was only for the first 3 to 4 days. I don't smell anything any more

There is no remarkable odor. When just opened from the protective sleeve the mat came in there was a slight plastic smell. I've had the mat for months and don't smell any odor in the room it's used in, even up close there is no overwhelming smell of plastic , only a slight one.

There was an odor when they were new but I don't notice it anymore. I never thought it was so bad that I would keep anyone from tumbling on it. We have two of these mats and love them.

Yes. We keep in a well ventilate area. The odor is not as strong now. We agree with PHL to SFO. We too enjoy the mats. The boys use it for outside workouts with a tarp under it so it is protected from the small limbs, rocks you might find in the yard.

There was an odor when I first opened up the mats from the protective plastic but I can't say that there is an odor now. Once the mat is opened up and used the odor has gone away.

I wish I could answer your question. It is impossible for me to distinguish. The odor has settled down, but it is still lingering. I would say the odor was a 10+++ for the first few weeks, and now is a 3 out of ten. It has improved, but is in no terms gone. I would not have small children play on this mat. It is unfortunate because otherwise, I love this mat.

No odor whatsoever & I have an acute sense of smell. However, we have had these for a while so I don't remember if there was an odor at first. My daughter is a gymnast & uses these frequently. They are good quality & well worth it!

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.

No. From day one the mat had no oder. I have use it 3-4 times since I bought it and only used a hot damp cloth to wipe clean. I really like this mat!

Hi! I didn't have a chemical odor with this mat. That being said, why don't you try soaking it in a tub that has a few inches of warm water that has had baking soda mixed in it. That should remove the smell.

It had a funny smell in the beginning, but it just needed a little airing out. As for the materials, the listing says "Our Tumbling Mats are made with 18 oz. vinyl and industry standard, cross-linked polyethylene foam"

Since the installation is in a "under construction" vehicle and is exposed, I cannot give an answer. I did use the Boom mat spray in my Challenger a week ago and there is no odor. And the road noise is down considerably.

I have owned this mat for two months and it does not have an odor. I use it to make rolls and it is one of my favorite kitchen tools.

although I read on some of the reviews that they did have an odor, I personally did not experience this. Mine smelled just fine. In fact, I bought these to replace some that I had washed and caused to develop an odor.

We have them in our truck and they didn't have a strong scent and it's hard plastic. We absolutely love them. The truck's carpet stays clean and try and the mats are super easy to clean.

Ours have had NO odor. Perhaps yours has a small leak of the GEL, and should be exchanged.
