Will this cover contain the gassing off smell of a new mattress?

The material this is made of isn't much different than cheese cloth which doesn't eliminate odor.

All foam mattresses and pillows smell bad when you first remove them from their packaging. We took the mattress out of the packaging and let it air out for 2-3 days before putting it on the bed. The smell was almost completely gone by then.

No it does not. when it arrives it might smell like the plastic protective cover, but just air it out and then no smell. I'm sensitive to odors and this is one odorless pillow.

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic again. I responded to this earlier but just realized that I probably initially misunderstood your question. You said 'will this contain' not 'does this contain' so I believe you meant to ask if this product would prevent the flame retardants in a conventional mattress from off-gassing. Correct? The answer is no. To contain the off-gassing you need a complete seal - no possibility of air leaking out anywhere.

Correct, waterproof mattress protectors will produce chemical off-gassing. I put a large organic cotton towel down on top of wrap then fitted sheet on top of that. It does still "crinkle" a bit but baby love all things that crinkle.

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....

I haven't noticed any odor. Maybe a little when removing the paper backing but nothing that lasted longer than the initial installation.

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.

Yes that is what I did. There wasn't an odor but the mattress was a little crooked because it hadn't fully expanded.

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.

Yes I agree with Magdelyn. Cotton on the inside and polyester lattice. There is no odor. I think it makes the hard mattress slightly more comfortable and it is very breathable for coolness. We own two, one for each of our cribs.

I can just tell you that my mattress looks new and smells great. My toddler has peed and sweated on it heavily yet no odor is left behind. It is not noisy or crackly. As thin as it is it works well however my mattress feels best without it. It is a firm memory foam mattress.

I've never noticed any smell. I keep a Naturepedic wool waterproof cover over it. My daughter is still using it, 3 years on.

I had no problem with smell. Of course there is a little odor until it airs for about an hour. I have a mattress that I paid $3000 for and I sleep better on this on top of a futon.

I don't know all that is inside, but the outside has a substantial organic cotton shell. I have chemical sensitivities so after taking the plastic bag off the mattress I left it outside for a few hours. I didn't notice any smells.

I used our regular mattress cover...it was deep enough and the elastic goes over our mattress and the topper. We have no noticeable smell. Love the topper. How disappointing for you as it is a bigger purchase. Maybe the zippered covers they sell for bedbugs would be less permeable with smells?

No. It was purchased for an invalid. He was in a hospital bed with an inflatable mattress that suddenly went down. His insurance ordered a replacement. This topper was used over several other things to keep him from feeling the springs. It worked great as a temporary replacement. He never mentioned an odor and only had praise for it.
