I have a natural latex bed, & natural wool winter comforter, this silk summer comforter stinks bad. Can I air it out & will the smell go away?

I am sorry I won't be much help - my silk comforter did not have any odor! My guess would be that the plastic bag the comforter was packed in probably held in any odors (no telling how long that comforter had been sitting in a warehouse). My suggestion - spread it outside for a day and see if Mother Nature takes care of it for you!

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.

The instructions are to take the pillow cover off and let it air out for 2-3 days before use. We did that and the smell went away. Expose it so all you see is the foam material and let it air out.

Yes, actually our dog recently had an accident on our bed and it was there for a little while before we noticed it, the mattress wasn't wet at all and there was no odor left behind, rather large amount as we have a 65# dog, can't say the same thing about my down comforter....

We haven't washed it yet (a good thing, from the other comments). It does smell like the natural wool that the label say is inside. You might try a quick spray of Febreze or something under the pillowcase on the back side. Our daughter doesn't seem to be bothered by the smell.

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.

I have mine under a thin mattress pad. It doesn't smell. Most wool retains its wooly smell throughout its live. You may be particularly sensitive to it, so I recommend a protective pad above your pad.

There's no smell other than the regular factory smell found in most new items, including clothing, beddings, etc.. One wash and it will come out freshedly smelled with whatever the laundry detergent or softener fragrants you use. Not sure what all those bad comments about this blanket (including the "smell") are about, but there're none for the two blankets I bought (bought the 2nd one since the 1st one is so good...nice and soft). Also recommend you wash it the first time before use, since like clothing, it appears stiff when brand new, but becomes really nice and soft after the wash (regular machine wash, regular dry). It's perfectly fine to wash and dry this blanket. I had no problems with it. There's no smell other than the regular factory smell found in most new items, including clothing, beddings, etc..

I dont know about dryer steam, but the smell goes away eventually, give it some time, besides, the pillow is made from a wool and not chemical ingredients, so no harm there.

You have to spread it out and let it air out (I think for 24 to 48 hours) before putting on the bed. I think the directions that come with the topper say that, but it's been a while since I bought it so can't remember for sure. I had no problem with odor after the initial airing.

It must be dry cleaned. I do not like part because some dry cleaning chemicals always stays with the comforter and I have to breath in all night long. It will be ruined if washed.

I did not. The smell wasn't really strong with ours, still I let it unfold outside and I left it outside all day. We brought it in in the evening, put a sheet on it and absolutely no complaints at all. I use it for my 6 year old son's loft bed. I understand that it will probably need to be be replaced in a few years, but he likes it, it's more comfortable than I thought and I am happy with it, considering it is a very inexpensive mattress. We have had it for 6 or 7 months now and there is no smell to it at all at this point. Hope that helps!

The comforter smelled a bit "sheepy" right out of the package, but I threw it into the dryer on fluff with a rag that had a few essential oil drops (lavender and cedar) and the smell went away. I occasionally do the same thing to freshen it up a bit. I did not notice a sheep smell after I did the fluff with essential oil. I've had the comforter for a year now and still love it. I never use dryer sheets though, they coat the fibers with chemicals.

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.

I didn't have this problem. I aired it out as directed and though the scent was strong at first it disipated rather quickly. Consider a strong plastic mattress cover, it may contain whatever scent is still lingering. Best of luck.

Mine smells like I would expect new furniture to smell. No issues storing my blankets in here :)
