Is there now a problem with Vellux blankets having an unremovable chemical smell? Our old one never had that.

I did not have a problem with smell from the Westpoint blankets. However, they were very THIN. I have not received my Martex blanket. Hope that is not the case.

I am not sure. I ended up throwing the blanket away. It was stiff and not very comfortable. It wasn't what I expected.

We did not have an issue. The smell was reminiscent of a "new product smell" that dissipated once it was no longer new. I would imagine that it might be remedied with a cleaning?

I don't think that it smells at all. I don't remember it being smelly when it was new either.

Sorry to hear that, ours did not have a smell since we received it...not sure what to advise you to do

I read many reviews that clammed this, I never really had a smell. I did let both the box spring and mattress air out for a couple hours before I put any sheets on it. I bought 2 beds and neither one of them smell. Hope this helped. They are both great beds.

I have not noticed an odor on the mattress. I'm hoping that it was a fluke for that particular reviewer. I recommend submitting a comment directly to the reviewer and asking for an update...

Mine has no smell whatsoever. Just received it last week. Maybe you should send it back!

I just received a full mattress and other than a non-offensive and subtle "new" smell while unpacking it did not have any of the unpleasant odor that people have described. Mine came with a cover zippered on it, and I wonder if that might have perhaps reduced any chemical scent?

I have had two of these mattresses and the smell went away. Do understand that ALL mattresses are made of chemical based materials to some extent hese new foam style mattresses are what is sweeping the world because of the total support and all the features that can be designed into them any more. They adapt to each body shape, weight, and temprature. Old style beds never came close to this.

Not that I am aware of. I have been using this item for years with no problems. Maybe the smell is from the plastic.

It didn't seem to have any offensive odor, just the usual "new smell" you get when you first buy/open bedding. It was gone quickly and I am very sensitive so I would have noticed . Hope if you buy one it will be the same .

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 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!

I have never noticed a smell in ours. We did wash it though. Perhaps that made the difference.

I know, that smell is disgusting to me, too! I opened it up outside when I got it and I did not notice any nasty smell from it or on my clothes later. One or two reviews I read said that the clotheslines streatched out after using for awhile and they replaced it with line of their choice later. So if this is a bad problem for you you could replace it with the narrow nylon type rope. FYI, Some said they needed to knot the line a little tighter at some point after using for awhile.

If there was, I didn't notice it. We use them for our rentals and I haven't noticed any odors from them since we bought them months ago. If there is an odor, you can just wash it before you use it.

Mine didn't have any odor either. So there's no problem. Bad odor are usually related with expired items.
