Does this mattress have any odor, and if so, does it require an outgassing period before use?

No I did not notice any type of odor from this loveseat....the plastic protective shipping cover may have had a small odor...not the couch

Slight odor when first opened. Aired it out a few hours and it was fine. Good mattress for the price.

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 that my 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.

I can't speak to flame retardants, not sure, but didn't notice any nasty smell. The bed feels like a regular mattress and has been fine for a 200+ lb guest.

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

It did have a slight odor. More clean, new materials, than chemical, though. The foam is more of pillow filling that was odorless. The entire bed comes apart and is washable if that helps at all.

I didn't notice any smell with mine and I'm pretty sensitive to odors. I'd recommend letting it air out in a well ventilated place for a few days or weeks until it dissipates.

When you get the mattress, it does say to let it sit out for 48 hours to allow the mattress to fully expand before using it. I don't remember an odor, or it stating it needed to aired.

I own 3 other temper-pedic like mattresses besides this latest one. The only smell I noticed is on initial unpacking...something chemical like, that quickly dissipated. I think it is probably a formaldehyde-like smell associated with many synthetic products, including carpets. Probably. for saftey's sake, the windows should be opened and the room aired out for the first 24 hours after unpacking.

I am using it from last four months. This mattress is perfectly fine. No bad smell or nothing.. This is worth more than what you pay.

The outlast cover had no "scent" or odor. The only odor is is the memory foam. After opening it up for a couple of hours and then putting the outlast on it, I experienced no fumes thereafter.

In my experiences with the foam mattresses and pillows, they all have a sort of chemical/packaging odor. It goes away by itself, you just have to let it air out for a few days, then it is completely gone. I don't recommend sleeping on it until then, but it really does go away. I don't know where you are located or what the weather is like, but you could put it outside during the day to help expedite the process. Really though, don't let the smell be the factor in not buying it. We ordered three different foam mattresses from three different places as well as foam pillows and they all had the same odor and in all of them, the smell completely vanished.

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.

Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package. I did not find any offensive smell, really, but go ahead and inflate it, and let it air for an hour or so, outside if you must.....I just found that mine had a new product, clean smell. So hope that helps. Any chemical smell will subside shortly, in my experience, and it's not even that "bad". I have purchased several of INTEX's mattresses and have been delighted with the products. Best of luck, and enjoy your very well made mattress. kk voicebender.com Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package.

We just used it right away. I didn't notice any odors. Never thought of airing it out.

I am extremely sensitive to odors. Just to be sure, I kept the mattress in the garage for about 3 days to air out. It really did not have an odor but I wanted to make sure that if when I compressed it, it would not off-gas too badly. Again, I am extremely sensitive to odors and smell things no one else can. The Cloud9 did not smell at all when I placed it on the bed nor when I laid on it. I cannot express how pleased I am with the mattress. I know that some people have told me another brand did off-gas but this one did not. I love this mattress topper!
