What materials are used for this cosleeper, besides wood? Does it smell, like the other arm's reach plastic co-sleepers?

It's a particle board type of "wood" and the webbing is soft, not sure what it is made of. It is very soft and easy to use. I don't appreciate any bad or off-putting odor.

We did not notice any smells with the co-sleeper. The mattress is harder than the usual baby mattress. The netting is not plastic and the baskets are cloth material.

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..

It's a quilted material mine did not smell at all we have had a lot of luck. And I love having him so close to me. However as a newborn he hated it because of the falling reflex he does not like sleeping on his back so he went into a rock and play sleeper the best invention ever then we transitioned him to this and eventually the crib

I nevery notice any smell. I'm not really sure what it is made of my husband assembled it but there is some plastic in the construction.

There is a plastic protector that the mattress is wrapped in when delivered. However, there is no plstic type material at all in the mattress itself.

It was more like a fabric. My grandson's love sleeping on it, they call it camping out.

It's cloth and stuffed w memory foam type stuff. Ours is almost a year old still sturdy n comfy... makes a great nest... my daughter is a teen. This is her bed.... it has to be flipped every few days because it flattens out. I would recommend this product.

No - it doesn't feel like plastic. I think that it should hold up well to some chewing. Of course, I would be making sure that your fur baby knows what he/she is allowed to chew on.Ican tell you that my 14 1/2 year old beautiful fur dog absolutely loved this bed. It was wonderful for all of her arthritic aches and pains and she used it until the day we had to say goodbye.It is now being used by my two fur kitties who also love the bed which actually molds to you like a temperpedic.

It fits snugly into the top of the co-sleeper. I am not sure of the exact dimensions but it fits within a pillowcase. It is quite hard so I would assume it is made of plastic. It is maybe half and inch thick.

Plastic coating on the mattress. We used a mattress pad too. Seems to be comfy for our baby.

Initially, the foam does have a smell. We aired it out for about 2 weeks and then it was ok. We are sensitive to smells. You might want to wash the cover to speed up the process. Any foam in a plastic will have a smell and we were aware of it since it is not the first foam topper or mattress we bought.

No!I find this carrier doesn't smell like plastic and instead smells like a good piece of luggage. It's really well made and isn't smelly

I didn't use the mattress that came with a co-sleeper. It was super thin and had a horrible chemical smell. I ended up getting a different organic mattress on amazon and baby is still sleeping in the co-sleeper at 9 months. Also, FYI I discovered that the changing pad covers fit the mattress perfectly and I've been using them instead the sheets that came in with the co-sleeper. Hope it helps.

It didn't have that kind of smell. It smelled like plastic and plywood for a few hours but once it was assembled and out of the box. That disapated.

The smell is very strong but it goes away with time. I ordered two different bags and the one from Sleepypod smelled like plastic. I decided to go with it, though, because it's super nice and sturdy. The smell was OK after a month. I also washed the inside pad's cover to speed up the process.

My son used plywood. If you must use an air mattress, my suggestion would be to use plywood, then the quilt over that (in case of splinters)

I think is the fiber foam used to make pillows that is found in most craft stores. The material is a light cotton material. My daughter just loves it. She has used one through 2 pregnancies.

Nothing plastic on this. It is metal covered with soft foam - very durable. Mother says this makes it much easier to get in and out of bed. Hope this helps.

I really don't remember any smell. Definitely not pine. It is old newspapers. I loved it for my rabbit, not messy but very absorbent and he liked to sleep on it too!

Its clearly a plastic type fabric. There is not a lot of give, in fact, i ripped my first one trying to force it onto my mattress.
