Beth I do not think in any way the odor is offesive. I have used 3 of them in the last five years. They smell like a outdoor nylon parka. Or no noticable smell at all. Thanks Ted

A slight but normal plastic smell when you first open it up but after my first use it was already lessen. Hope I was helpful

yes, the smell at first is normal, butit will fade away. I don't think it will last long. use a fan if you can, furnace, ceiling,free standing or light a candle

Can't say that I had this experience, but I would not be concerned. Everyone has different sensitivities to smell, but I can tell you I have had mine installed for the past two months, and it is great....would highly recommend this product.

LOL! It was pretty bad the first day - I got a headache from it. I don't smell it at all now and it's been less than a week.

No smell in general, but it is good to install it couple of days earlier before using it. Newly bought and packed wooden things need to 'air' a little bit I find..

Not sure, the smell isn't very noticeable. It's more of a strong rubber smell

I really wish I could answer that, but it doesn't smell like anything I am familiar with. It doesn't smell like anything, though, after it's on you for about 5 minutes. It just stops you from stinking.

When I first opened it, slightly... but significantly less so than any other high-density foam mattress topper I've owned (we're at 4+). After a day or so, there's no smell.

No. The only scent it might have upon arrival is that "new rubber" smell which wears away quickly.

I don't notice the smell and I cannot remember if I did even in the beginning. It may be that it is in a large enough space that the smell is diffused or it has just gone away.

Other than the smell of "NEWNESS" in the first few days, I have not noticed any other. I have the unit for quite a while now and it doesn't emit any kind of odor.

Well，I think it does has smell because I was shocked by it at first. It is a problem that I didn't mention before. But the smell may be not that strong.

Not very long. About 45 minutes to an hour. The smell is what makes it unique

No, I don't recall any smell. My sense of smell is not great, but I would have noticed a significant odor or chemical smell and did not.

The smell is normal, I think it's called ions or something, like an electrical storm. So use away, I do.

It has a smell much like any other urathane product. I used it in my basement with zero ventilation and had no issues. It truely is a great product. 3 coats. Use wire wool in between each and leave the final coat.

The smell is not bad at all. In fact, I don't recall it having much of a smell at all.
