Does this have a strong odor? We're going to be using it in a tent and my wife hates strong chemical or perfume smells.

It has a mild odor, but once in the storage chamber not noticable . I do not like perfumes and some make my eyes water immediately. This does not come close to any of that. I find the mild odor pleasing in this case and it does a good job in all but the hottest weather.

Yes it does. Hard to find one that doesn't but the Coleman Holding tank cleaner has the least smell of all I have tried. If it's a short time in the tent you might try lemon juice.

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.

I don't recall there being any smell and I have a problem with chemical odor. Although I don't use it often, this has been a useful spare bed for me. In my experience, none of these inflatable options can survive constant use.

Actually, I dont smell any odors...but if you do, I suggest you just air it out before you use it. Hope that helps!

It does not have a strong odor at all. It may have a slight scent, but it is pleasant not at all bad.

I don't think it smelled that strong. After a couple of days I couldn't tell it was not ever in my house :). I love it! I'm 5'2" and fall asleep in it fast! Hope that's not a detourant. My dog loves it too!

Yes! ours smells a terrible toxic/chemical smell. The item has been out of the box but in the plastic bag it shipped in on top of our changing table, and I just took the bag off and noticed the strong smell (we received this as a gift a few months ago). I didn't want it collecting dust before the baby came, but now I am hoping it airs out in time. Other reviewers say the smell dissipates quickly. Hoping this is true.

Mine did not have an odor. I still have this backpack and I use it quite frequently and have not had any problems with it. I have used it out in the woods and on 4 different flights. I love it!

Nope no smell. My daughter wore it all summer to camp. It did not attract bugs, it kept her safe from the sun. No scent and no odor. Good luck.

No, there is no odor. It is recommended that you wash it before you use it though. Mostly that is just because it is vacuum sealed so washing it will loosen the fibers and release any possible odors that are left over from the packaging process. I washed, dried, and put it on my mattress the day it came and have no issues.

Mine didn't really have a strong odor to it, but it did smell of plastic , but have no fear that goes away pretty quick, it's most likely from the heat of shipping containers and such, after one use mine was good to go, I have four of em and they are all okay now, I hope this helps Vanessa.

I aired it out for about 3 days. I laid it on a pad (towel) so any odor wouldn't get in the carpet. This is about the 4th pad I've had and I didn't think the smell was strong after airing it out. I put it under the mattress pad. There was a slight odor, but nothing bad. I think we're pretty sensitive to odors, since everything we use if non-fragrance. It really didn't bother me. Hope this helps.

No it does not have a strong smell nor does it linger after use. There is no toxic warning on the bottle I have but it may have some petro products that are sometimes necessary to remove stains. I have asthma and it has never bothered my condition. Hope this helps.

Yes! I suggest cleaning the area first before U use it; I believe this makes it work better. But to answer your question, yes it does have a strong smell ... Kinda like pepper spray! Not that intolerable but I would use it in a well ventilated area!!

I found no odor. I use it in a small camper and it works well. Just doesn't turn very far. Not worth the extra for oscillating

No it does not smell at all. I have used it for a while and as long as it is dried after every use it is fine.

Nope. Strong chemical smell so best to air out several weeks before use. Good size and tucks in closet or under bed easily. Guests say comfortable to sleep on. I would recommend it for price.
