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.

I think that's actually the smell of wool. We've had ours for a few months and it still has this faint wool smell.

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!

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

This is my first wool blanket. It doesn't bother me at all. The smell will need to be addressed. I hand washed and hung outside for 2 days. Smell is gone.

I cannot smell any chemical type odor from the blanket, unsure of the Antimicorbial treatment. It is very warm after covering with it for a few minutes

I'm sorry. Mine did not come with a smell. :( Maybe ask them to replace it.

Not sure what smell people were referring to. Ours did not have any unusual odor. Kind of new leather smell for a very short period of time.They are in my son's bedroom, so somewhat of a confined space and we can't smell anything.

The blanket was wrapped in plastic. When I opened the plastic, it smelled like a new sweater. The was no offsetting smell, like there sometimes was even with the clean Army blankets I've been issued.

Tasha, I also cannot confirm if the blanket has been treated. I can say it is the best blanket I have ever had. It had no odor and was very soft and comfortable straight from the package. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

There must be something wrong with the one you have. I didn't have any varnish smell with mine.

I have not used my warmer as it had a hot smell to it that never seemed to go away.

I don't know!!! Honestly, mine have never had any odor at all. Where do you live? Maybe the warehouse that it is stored in and shipped from has something to do with it. With very damp weather in a wet storage building might create that smell. I have a subscription to the Kleenex, but I am in New York and not once have had such a smell in the tissues.

I didn't notice any odor from mine, nor from the one the same I got for my daughter (I helped her put a duvet cover on it). We love ours, - the best duvet I ever owned. It just molds to your body in such a lovely way. Hope you get to enjoy yours. I wouldn't wash it. Hang it out in the shade, outside for awhile.

I just opened mine and got the same chemical smell. It is disconcerting. I'll leave them open for a bit and see.

I have not - I've been using the blanket every weekend for years, and never experienced such issues. That could be related to your diet and the blanket could be reacting to that. I would keep the lower settings at your comfort level to help with that as well.

Not to me. I've bought Ikea comforters for years and have never experienced that problem. I've seen reviews where others have stated that, but Maybe they are sensitive to smells.
