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.

Mine did not have any smell at all. Not even the scent of the plastic wrap or anything.

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!

We have 2 of these heaters and neither one of them had/have any type of smell when being used.

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.

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.

Not that I am aware of. I have been using this item for years with no problems. Maybe the smell is from the plastic.

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

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

hmm... mine had no lingering odor at all. smelled new, but nothing else, and I'm quite sensitive to that distinct "plastic" smell!

I've been using these for years and never had any that had a bad smell. Obviously, something is wrong. Call the company.

I've got a good sniffer, and I detect no odor at all. It's nothing but polyester fiber fill (like you might find in a throw pillow) with that kind of papery/plastic outer layer that some mattress pads are made from. If there was any odor back when I first bought it, I would have put it in the dryer on AIR FLUFF or spritzed it with Febreze or hung it on the line for a couple hours.

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.

I have never noticed a smell in ours. We did wash it though. Perhaps that made the difference.

It didn't seem to have any offensive odor, just the usual "new smell" you get when you first buy/open bedding. It was gone quickly and I am very sensitive so I would have noticed . Hope if you buy one it will be the same .

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.

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.
