Does it come with the quilted cover? Do they have to be aired or washed to get rid of the smell?

It does come with a quilted cover that is removable. I have had no trouble with any smell but I do use my regular pillow along with the wedge and I have a sheet over the wedge. Had no problems with iat in the few months that I have been using it.

The cover is not really quilted. It's more of a stretchy type material. There was zero odor with mine. I used it the same day I received it.

Mine did not come with a quilted cover. I called and got another smooth one that is a rough cotton and uncomfortable.

They do not come with the pictured cover (although it says they do). We did not notice any smell.

The cover is somewhat textured, but is not quilted as shown in the photo. The odor comes from the foam, not from the cover, and in my case, still lingers even after 2-3 weeks of airing.

The wedge does not come with a quilted cover. Mine works fine without it. I just aired the wedge in the sun for a day, and it doesn't have any smell whatsoever, now.

There is no mention of washing it prior to first use. It does not have any smell to it at all out of the package. I did not wash it first. Washing or drying it with other articles of clothing leads to the other articles being wadded up inside of the protector and not washing or drying well.

Hand wash only (if at all). I put ours into the washing machine (fine wash program), because our daughter threw up on it - it was shrunk and uggly afterwards. The initial wool / barn-like smell did not bother my daughter at all, though. Of course, I put a pillow case around it, but this didn't cover the smell. She liked it until the day it died in the washer...

Mine didn't have a smell? However I did wash mine because it got dirty and air dried it and it was fine. I guess that would be an option if there is a smell.

I didn't notice any odor. I do wipe off the covers from time to time with a mild detergent and damp cloth.

The cover is definitely washable. I have two of these beds and wash the covers every couple weeks. They wash up nicely, but are a bit of a pain to put back on mostly because the beds are big. On the second bed I ordered, the waterproof cover was unstitched on one side which is a little annoying, but the first one was perfect.

I accidentally hit the "yes" button & now it won't let me change my answer. No, you don't need the quilted cover. I bought a hypoallergenic cover to use under the pillowcase.

What smell? Mine didn't have an unpleasant odor, but I have washed the cover on gentle in our washing machine once with no issues...Not sure you're supposed to do that but I have a small toddler so I went for it.

We had to get rid of our down quilts for medical reasons. We also need to avoid odors. We've not noticed an odor from these quilts. They are a great replacement for the down quilts.

Unfortunately, the cover does not come unzippered to wash, however it seems to be stain resistant and spot cleans beautifully.Hope this helps.

I have the 80 pound version. They did not smell when we got them. The quality is very high and we're very happy with them. I would wash them with baking soda and water and let them sit for a day or so.

The covers zip off and you can wash them. It's also super easy to spot clean.

I found a used one of these and bought it. I removed all the covers and washed them in my machine and it worked wonderfully. I let all of them air-dry after washing them on gentle in cold water with detergent.

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 used our regular mattress cover...it was deep enough and the elastic goes over our mattress and the topper. We have no noticeable smell. Love the topper. How disappointing for you as it is a bigger purchase. Maybe the zippered covers they sell for bedbugs would be less permeable with smells?

I never purchased a cover and really never thought about one since my LO is usually swaddled when placed on the lounger. I usually place him on the lounger after meals because it props him up to avoid spitups. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've wiped the lounger down with a wet cloth, but have yet to put it in the washing machine. It says dry with tennis balls. It's white, grey and yellow, you would never guess that it hasn't been washed. I'm 4 months in on this baby thing so now this question has presented with a new task -Wash lounger. �

Mine personally does not but when I first purchased it, it had a slight hint of chemically smell but I have never even washed mine in the machine, I would hose it down every now and then to get all the smell area out, I would also put things like green pads in between the bedding and the bottom cloth, hope this helps, if not i would recommend sending it back because something may have been spilled on it during shipping, I'm sure they would be ok sending you a new one.
