Is there an odor to this mattress topper? We bought a Sharper Image memory foam topper and let it air for a week, but the smell was still unbearable.

There is not an odor at all. You should be happy with this purchase, it may have less fortified support, however, it is very comfortable to sleep on.

No, there is no odor. It is recommended that you wash it before you use it though. Mostly that is just because it is vacuum sealed so washing it will loosen the fibers and release any possible odors that are left over from the packaging process. I washed, dried, and put it on my mattress the day it came and have no issues.

I had that smell at first as well. But based on other reviews I knew to expect that. I would squeeze it a couple of times a day to get fresh air through the pillow and let it air out before I started using it and within a week the smell went away.

The one I got did not have a smell to it. I have some memory foam pillows that did smell when I first got them but they no longer have that odor.

Hi- I had no odor with mine. I really like it but it is very firm so if you don't like firm you should pass

I'm assuming it's due to memory foam. Most memory foam has strong smell. Mine didn't last long

Sad to say, I still detect that rubbery smell and I've wondered myself if it will completely leave. I'm not real convinced it will. I've put mine in a light flannel pillowcase and most of the time I'm not aware of the smell now. Makes you worry about fumes, though doesn't it?

Mine didn't have an odor that I recall.. If it did, it went away real quick. Anything new and especially with plastic will have some slight odor but should go away as it airs out.

I haven't noticed an odor, but it has a pretty heavy zip cover and I put it in a pillowcase as well so maybe that helps if there is an odor. As for it getting hot, I sleep so well and so sound due to this gel memory foam pillow and the gel memory foam mattress topper I am unaware if it gets hot. If it does get hot it certainly is not noticeable enough to disrupt my sleep.

All foam mattresses and pillows smell bad when you first remove them from their packaging. We took the mattress out of the packaging and let it air out for 2-3 days before putting it on the bed. The smell was almost completely gone by then.

When I get my mattress it did have a smell to it. But if you what to know how to clean your mattress you can look up how to clean a memory form mattress on the web and it will give you ideas on how to clean it. I hope this information help you out.

The outlast cover had no "scent" or odor. The only odor is is the memory foam. After opening it up for a couple of hours and then putting the outlast on it, I experienced no fumes thereafter.

I unrolled the topper and left it on the bed for about 2 hours. Most of the odor was gone. Once I put the outlast cover and sheet on I went to bed and smelled nothing. I saw one review where somebody had an ongoing issue with it. But I have had none with this product. Money well spent.

I never noticed any odor. The directions tell you to lay it out for 4 days before putting in on your bed. That helps it to air out so it doesn't smell.

I have not noticed an odor on the mattress. I'm hoping that it was a fluke for that particular reviewer. I recommend submitting a comment directly to the reviewer and asking for an update...

As far as I noticed, no it's not. It didn't arrive with any kind of noticeable or significant smell like most of the foam mattresses all seem to have. But I'm a guy and we tend to not notice things, so take that with a grain of salt.

Mine smells pretty bad but I let it air out about a week before I put it on the bed now I don't notice any smell but it is definitely not very soft

In my experiences with the foam mattresses and pillows, they all have a sort of chemical/packaging odor. It goes away by itself, you just have to let it air out for a few days, then it is completely gone. I don't recommend sleeping on it until then, but it really does go away. I don't know where you are located or what the weather is like, but you could put it outside during the day to help expedite the process. Really though, don't let the smell be the factor in not buying it. We ordered three different foam mattresses from three different places as well as foam pillows and they all had the same odor and in all of them, the smell completely vanished.
