How long does the smell stay in the product? I've read some reviews saying that it had a smell to it.

I've had mine for about a month and it definitely had an odor to it. I haven't done anything to try to eliminate said odor as the smell doesn't really bother me, but yes, it does smell like burlap.

They do, a bit. I was using them for a theatrical production & I sprayed them thoroughly with Freeze. That helped & I hung them outside in the sun which helped more. Washing would do better, but will take out the stiffness. It depends on what you need them for & how stiff you need them to be.

I would recommend leaving them out overnight in dry weather to "air out" or add a small dose of freshener. The sacks do indeed have a scent.

I noticed the smell as well. I used them once for a potato sack race and noticed the smell was diminished, but still present. I would bet that if you hung them out in the sun for a few days it would go away.

I did notice the smell but mine wasn't what I would call strong. And it did air out. Haven't noticed since the first day. Hope this helps.

Actually, the smell doesn't really bother me. It dissipates after a few minutes so, I just apply it and move on with my routine.

The smell goes away after a while. I would spray it with fabreeze or something like that It has cardboard inside and washing it would destroy it.

I don't recall mine having an odor, but I didn't stick my nose up to it and try to smell it when I first got it. Definitely wasn't noticeable from a distance. It doesn't smell at all 3 months later.

The smell is not overpowering at all and is actually quite light. I didn't notice the smell until I sniffed the contents of the bottle. Unless someone was to stick their nose in your hair, they wouldn't notice the smell. And I'd say after about a day or two it'd probably be too light to notice by then.

The smell did not bother me, but I suppose each of us have a different sensitivity. It's a citris smell (orange mostly) which could probably be called strong by some people, but again, I was fine with it. It disipates quickly so I don't think it would it stay long in your car.

Some reviewers complained about it but I didn't have a problem at all, it smelled "new" when I got it as most things do, I let it sit out for a few hours before I put on bed and never noticed any smell from then on. I was very concerned about smell because it was for my daughter's bed but it was fine.

If you make a point to smell it, it still has that odor. But I don't notice it on a daily basis, nor do I notice it when I'm handling it for use. I bought mine in August to give you a sense of the wear on it. The odor has dissipated a little since I bought it, so I assume it will continue doing so over time.

No noticeable smell after 2-3 days. That may change if you leave it longer!?

I unrolled the topper and left it on the bed for about 2 hours. Most of the odor was gone. Once I put the outlast cover and sheet on I went to bed and smelled nothing. I saw one review where somebody had an ongoing issue with it. But I have had none with this product. Money well spent.

I don't notice a bad smell either. Sorry I am not much help either. I guess I am used to the smell and it goes away pretty quick after you put it on.

I had that smell at first as well. But based on other reviews I knew to expect that. I would squeeze it a couple of times a day to get fresh air through the pillow and let it air out before I started using it and within a week the smell went away.

Hi, I opened mine and set it aside to use the next day and it was fine when I started using it. Mine came with plastic wrap so that might be part of it. Anyway it stays in my car and I don't notice any smell.

I had the same thought but when I received it and my husband used it, he said it was good! The smell last so long!! It is genuine!!

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! : )
