Does this mattress pad absorb odors? Sometimes my wife poops in the bed. Thanks...

As with any fabric, the mattress pad will absorb odors, however it is machine washable. It will not heal or prevent pressure ulcers for a patient though. In general....wash it when she poops the bed and also when you wash your sheets. This pad will also absorb moisture...so if you are looking for her comfort and a clean mattress then you may still want to put a plastic cover over the existing mattress before the pad. I hope this helps to answer your question. :)

It doesn't let moisture make its way down to the the mattress.The mattress pad its self will get get wet in its top layer of material but it is waterproof. It is also not crinkly or noisy like cheap or old versions of waterproof mattress pads. When i took it out of wash a couple days ago i actually noticed how well it is holding up.

No. It was purchased for an invalid. He was in a hospital bed with an inflatable mattress that suddenly went down. His insurance ordered a replacement. This topper was used over several other things to keep him from feeling the springs. It worked great as a temporary replacement. He never mentioned an odor and only had praise for it.

I have not tried that one. Did return a latex foam mattress pad due to the bad smell. I ended up going to Costco and purchasing the 3" memory foam pad, aired it out for two days in the room with a filter and never had a problem with the smell again. The Austin Air filter is a powerful product, however those pads can have a really strong chemical or packing smell , I would love the filter and highly recommend it, if possible get a different pad. Good luck! Would not want to sleep with/on the smell every night...

I'm sorry I can't help you, Jerry. Mine is relatively new and therefore, I have not yet washed and dried it. When I do get ready to wash and dry it, I will dry it on a low setting because that's what I generally use. I can tell you that I love this mattress pad because it is soooooo comfy.

My mattress didn't have an odor, but some people who left reviews said theirs did. This was the best item I bought from Amazon in 2014.

When I first recieved the foam pad and lad it out in a Spare room., Yes it did have an odor. After after about 24-48 hours the odor dissappears. I absolutely love my foam and have had it for about a yr.

I did not notice any odor. I have a tempurpedic mattress and did notice the odor from that foam for a couple of weeks.

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.

No, the design is stain resistance. Odor will continue being emitted from within the fabrics of the mattress.

Hi Connie. I don't know about anyone else, but my memory foam mattress does not have any odor. I did air out the mattress before folding into my queen size sofa bed. I waited and aired it out about 2 hours. So far no odors, and is very comfortable. My only concern is thatmy sofa bed and mattress do not measure precisely. What happens is that part of the mattress overflows from sides. The sofa bed mechanism is rubbing against the sides and wearing the sides to where pretty soon it may make holes on the side. Hope I answered your question Connie. Take Care. Francisco.

No the pad does not have any odor at all. Just have to say again that for me I did not experience a cooling effect with this pad.

I can just tell you that my mattress looks new and smells great. My toddler has peed and sweated on it heavily yet no odor is left behind. It is not noisy or crackly. As thin as it is it works well however my mattress feels best without it. It is a firm memory foam mattress.

When my boys have pee'd their beds, to me it seems to absorb the pee vs. if i were to just have a fitted sheet to pull it off and have slight puddling on their matteress... their still use their crib matteress which have that plasticy feel to them where pee doesn't soak into the mattress. I hope this makes sense for you! :) I also personally like them cause they give their flat matteresses some softness/fluffiness to them.

I use a small panty-liner pad in it. You may as well. I have only occasionally had an odor. When I do, I use white vinegar on it to kill any residual orders. Hope this helps in some way.....

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!
