I'm more sensitive than most people to smells.I've read on these reviews anywhere from a few hours to one month before it goes away. Anymore comments?

This mat was one of the thickest we had found for this price and I did a lot of research. There was a slight rubber smell when taking it out of the box, but I honestly didn't really notice the smell after the first day.

To be honest, I've had this for over 2 years now. When the smell went away, I have no idea. However, it is gone now and I love it.

the smell was gone in a few hours. and it isn't too pungent. don't let the smell deter you from this product. I use it form weight lifting platform on top of the concrete in my basement. I've had my kettlebells and bar with 300lbs of weight drop on this mat and the floor is fine.

It hasn't been a problem for us. I opened the boxes outside, unrolled the mats a bit, and let them air out for a few hours before I brought them inside. Even though it's been a cold winter, there hasn't been a strong smell, even though I haven't been able to open the window on a regular basis. So, I think the key was to air them out before I even brought them inside. They are great mats, and we have no complaints about them. Good luck. Enjoy!

It's extremely strong right out of the box (of course) and for the first couple days. But after a few weeks you probably won't notice it unless you are actually laying down on the mat or making close contact with your face. If you're running, walking or working out where you're on your feet most of the time, you probably will be used to the smell after a few weeks.

I say it went away within a month. That was Summer with windows open. You could sit it outside for a few weeks. It's inevitable to go away Worth the money.

I have had it a long time and can't really remember a smell. I use it under my washer and it is keeping the washer from walking away. I am very happy with it.

I am extremely sensitive to anything with a fragrance and this product doesn't bother me; however, I only use it once or twice a week. If there is a fragrance it is minimal. If it were anything more, I would have returned it.

No, it has a very light "clean, fresh" scent that disappears quickly. I am extraordinarily sensitive to scents and this one does not bother me!

Julie, I am also very sensitive to fragrances and I have not had a problem with this product. It has a very light scent that dissipates very quickly.

I didn't notice any odor when I used it for an entire day at the Mall of New Hampshire a month ago nor in my room I store it in. I'm pretty sensitive to scents, fragrances or odors of any kind, because I get a migraine, but it seems good to me. However, you might be sensitive to something that I am not. I do use this stuff called "Zero Odor" to get rid of scents on things. Their web site is www.ZeroOdor.com and phone 800-526-2967. Hope this helps.

I did not have any complaints or notice anything like that. Could be genetic, though.... Or good friends and poor sense of smell. No problems here.

I was worried about that too because I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and any kind of plastic smell would have driven me nuts. In short no, there is virtually no smell to mine when it arrived. The only smell I got from it was a little bit of a new cotton smell and that went away in minutes. The first night I had this my sheets hadn't shown up yet so I ended up sleeping directly on the mattress itself and I had no issues with smell. I have mine on a wood frame instead of a box spring because I like very firm beds, it does not seem to retain too much heat because I put off heat like a furnace when I sleep and I am not uncomfortable in it like I am in memory foam or similar beds.

I did not have that experience. Yes there is a slight smell but it isn't strong and it went away quickly. I have a high sensitivity to that stuff and so does my husband. I love the chairs.

I can definitely relate, as the smell is over powering. I use scented plug-ins in the areas where I use these and that has seemed to help. I've used this product over a year and either I have gotten used to the smell or it fades over time or the plug-ins work. I don't notice the smell anymore.

Yes. the smell went away rather quickly. I can't remember exactly how long it was, but it could not have been too long. I absolutely hate bad smells in my house, and I would definitely have noticed if the smell stuck around for too long. hth.

There is a mild, natural scent that dissipates quickly---as far as I can tell, no added fragrance. I have a sensitive nose to highly concentrated scents. This doesn't give me any issues.

I've.never had an experience ofQunol..having an odor. I just know that it has helped me.

I never noticed any odor. Some people are more sensitive to that kind of thing than others, but apparently if there was an odor, I neverpicked up on it.

I'm not particularly sensitive but I have had reactions to strongly scented products before (dryer sheets, antiperspirants, etc.) and tend to stay away from them. While I can smell this soap I wouldn't describe the scent as fake or "chemically" and have not had a problem with it.

It's been a while since I used it but I don't recall much odor. And I am very sensitive to odors.

Could have been me... But, in fact, It doesn't smell bad, it's a smell that's only a problem for some people with sensitivities... i.e. CFS, FM, etc...

We do not experience such an odor. I would return if such phenomenon occurred. Sorry about your experience !
