There is no particular odor, except for a sort of plastic one. That is all.

It had a slight smell of foam when opened but the smell went away in a few hours.

It does for a couple of days, but then it goes away.It helps if you spray it with febreze.

Very slight nondescript smell that vanished quickly .It could have been from the cover that came seperately. The smaller pillow we bought a year and a half earlier and others had no oder. You might want to question the US dept of Agriculture about what theyre using to fumigate the containers that these ship in.

No, it does not have any odor at all. I have terrible allergies and am sensitive to odors. I have had this duvet for about 6 months and am very happy with it.

I don't believe so. There was a very slight "new smell" when I first took the pillow out but that went away within the first night.

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.

There is a smell, but I think it's from the actual buckwheat hulls. I didn't care for smell, but it tends to dissipate in time. That aside, I didn't care for the feel or weight of the pillow.

No, it has no odor at all. This is a lovely piece of furniture. It arrived with damage to one shelf, but I called the manufacturer (phone number provided with packing materials) and they sent me a replacement part in less than a week. I was impressed with the service.

Yes. The smell is very strong when the pillow is new. The odor lessens over time.

I aired my pillow for a day before I used it only because I had read that there might be an odor. I did not notice any odor and I use a pillow case over it. I love this pillow!

No, I've never noticed any kind of smell. The pillow stays quite cool. Much cooler than my crappy cotton pillows.

I haven't noticed any odor. It has a zip up cover, which I put a pillow case over. Maybe thats why.. Also it does not get hot! I actually sleep on the memory foam side, not the gel side, bc it feels too cool for me. Hope this helps!

I've had mine for a little over six months and have no noticed an odor. As for heat, it doesn't get super hot, but about whatever Temperature your body is. Like the other reviewer said, just turn it over and it's nice and cool again. I love this pillow very much

I did not notice any odor coming from the pillow. Mine started to leak somewhere in the seam after about 6 months of use. I never could get it to hold air after that. But loved it while it was still good

I never noticed a smell on my pillows, maybe wash the covers it came with. If not send you hen back ask for new ones.

I recommend the Sleep Innovations Reversible Gel Memory Foam Pillow. It has a foam side and a gel side and is very soft. It also didn't appear to have an odor.

I did not notice any odor. I have a tempurpedic mattress and did notice the odor from that foam for a couple of weeks.
