Does this mattress have any odor, and if so, does it require an outgassing period before use?

My mattress didn't have an odor, but some people who left reviews said theirs did. This was the best item I bought from Amazon in 2014.

Mine had no odor that I noticed. It does need at least 24 hours to fully expand before sleeping on. I think the instructions say 48 hours, but that seemed too long to me. 24 hours was fine.

I am pretty sensitive to odors, I was able to sleep on the set the same night I set it up. Seriously, the most comfortable bed I have slept on!

I kept the mattress in a room for one day with the window open. After one day (or two days), the odor was pretty much gone.

I have had mine for over six months and use it most nights . Have never noticed any kind of odor, etc.

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.

I had read about odors as well and was a little hesitant to order, so I was very pleased when I received my mattress because there was no strong odor.

You should put a GOOD mattress cover over the foam which lays on your mattress,,,Amazon has variety of mattress covers of every quality that should contain odors...I myself laid mine in sun on both sides pre use & never had any disagreeable odor.

When you get the mattress, it does say to let it sit out for 48 hours to allow the mattress to fully expand before using it. I don't remember an odor, or it stating it needed to aired.

I don't remember noticing any strong odor after setting it up. It's a very comfortable bed to sleep on.

Actually, I dont smell any odors...but if you do, I suggest you just air it out before you use it. Hope that helps!

I just received a full mattress and other than a non-offensive and subtle "new" smell while unpacking it did not have any of the unpleasant odor that people have described. Mine came with a cover zippered on it, and I wonder if that might have perhaps reduced any chemical scent?

No. There is/was no product smell or odor. We were surprised how comfortable this bed was during our recent 2-week trip. A sheet or blanket over the top works great.Just make sure you have an electric pump (110v or car adapter). The battery pump provided was not that good.

I purchased this mattress in August and it is comfortable. How long it will last, I cannot say yet. I WILL say that you will need to unwrap it and let it air out IN YOUR GARAGE or something for at least a WEEK. It has a very strong chemical odor that takes FOREVER to dissipate. It was sickening the first month.

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic. N. Barra's response is correct. To prevent off-gassing from a chemical-laden mattress, you need to completely seal it - so no air gets through at all.

Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package. I did not find any offensive smell, really, but go ahead and inflate it, and let it air for an hour or so, outside if you must.....I just found that mine had a new product, clean smell. So hope that helps. Any chemical smell will subside shortly, in my experience, and it's not even that "bad". I have purchased several of INTEX's mattresses and have been delighted with the products. Best of luck, and enjoy your very well made mattress. kk voicebender.com Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package.

It has no odor. We added a mattress topper to it. Seems comfortable enough. My mother slept well on it.

Sorry I could not locate the documents on the mattress. I can tell you it is very comfortable and there is no odor.
