Does this topper have a chemical smell when you first buy it? And if so, how long does it take to dissipate?

I didn't notice anything. It is very comfortable. I used it the same day it came. It is not memory foam!

This product is an extra cushy mattress pad. There is no chemical odor. It smells like new sheets. I'm very happy with it.

Yes, it does have a smell to it when it first arrives. Since leaving it out of the box and just letting it air out I have no longer noticed the smell.

Mine felt almost warm or moist and soft when I got it. We waited two days to sleep on it and it's firm and nice now, and the smell diminished by then. I think it's best not to sleep on it right away, some people have claimed that it needs time to set.

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.

it has a slight plastic chemical odor but it certainly was much less potent than my other mattress topper that i purchased (another kind). It's a great purchase - my daughter in college loves it too

It initially has a "plastic" smell when you first remove from package but dissipates in a few days (or less). I primarily use when driving or airplane travel (and have for years) and in fact I just loaned my spare to a friend yesterday and he wants his own. The relief (I get) is worth the temporary "smell".

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.

Mine did not have any odor whatsoever. I let it lay on the bed for a couple days before I put sheets over it just in case as I had read reviews where people said they had to air it out.

I don't smell anything after a day or so. It was a plastic smell to begin with, but nothing now, we have had ours for over a year. I have 3 of them. I finally learned to put down paper towel and then either the bedding or cloth and it is so much easier to clean!

I never noticed any odor. The directions tell you to lay it out for 4 days before putting in on your bed. That helps it to air out so it doesn't smell.

Not sure what bad smell others are talking about, I have not had that experience. Both my pillows are fine, and have no smell, however, when I want an oder out of something I put it in a garbage bag with a bunch of baking soda poured in it and leave it for 3 days, then check it. If I wash something I use vinegar to take smells out. And, yes I've washed down before, the trick is getting it dry. I hang it on the line all day, and it must be a fairly hot day or it won't dry.

Hello. No, I have never noticed a chemical smell at all. So far I have been very happy with this product and have not had any negative issues with it. I hope this helps.

I've had mine for a little over six months and have no noticed an odor. As for heat, it doesn't get super hot, but about whatever Temperature your body is. Like the other reviewer said, just turn it over and it's nice and cool again. I love this pillow very much

Hello, It only took a few hours for it to "rise". I slept on the full size mattress 3-4 hours after I opened it, and it had no adverse "smell" that has been mentioned in other reviews. Hope this helps! : )

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!

No, I've never noticed any kind of smell. The pillow stays quite cool. Much cooler than my crappy cotton pillows.

Initially it has an odor from being packaged and the type of material. However, the smell evaporates over time and this is an excellent mattress topper.
