How bad is the rubber/vinyl/plastic smell on this product?

Right out of the box you should inflate it as soon as possible and not put any bedding on it. It does have a strong odorand will probably bother the person sleeping on it. The longer you air it the less odor there will be

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.

I have had mind for almost a year and not once was there an oder. Just when you take it out but it goes away fast cause the top is covered in a felt type material. My room is always closed and still no oder.

I noticed it too, I only own it for about a day or two. I will give it a week or two max before returning it. No way I can live with this smell, it smells like brand new plastic x1000.

If you're referring to the smell of vinyl or plastic- no. To be honest I haven't noticed anything untowards.

Not especially, just a plastic smell when you first get it. I don't notice a smell anymore

Mine didn't smell at all. Possibly an extremely faint rubber smell due to the material it is made of? But it is supper subtle (I am very sensitive to smells and don't really detect anything).

I am not overly sensitive, but I know what you mean. Sometimes I go in a store and the smell of plastic is overwhelming - I can't wait to get out of there! There has never been a chemical/urethane smell to my mat - even when it was new.It is a terrific product!!!!! I have owned one for 10 months and I bought my dog a mat as well.

I have never found the smell to be offensive. No more than most new products made of synthetic material. I have tinted windows at the rear of a CRV so the sun has probably had less effect, if that is actually the problem. I have always thought the organizer to be a great product.

I didn't notice that. I think there may be some rubber smell, but it's not very serious, and with time flies I think the smell will disappear.

Tough question to answer... is this an odor from the silicone material or from being used?

I don't notice a bad smell either. Sorry I am not much help either. I guess I am used to the smell and it goes away pretty quick after you put it on.

It is fine, I do not notice any smell, although it is under the sink area. I do not notice a smell where it is located. Yes, it is a plastic/rubber material. I like it!

I did not notice a strong smell, but the vinyl is very stiff and does not slide or fold easily out of the way. It is a very large curtain, very bulky, but it is sturdy, will not tear easily.

It seems to be a rubber like smell and it doesn't bother me at all. You could try a clothes dryer sheet and leave it in the case.

The smell is only that new vinyl smell. It goes away quickly. My grandkids are still playing with this...2 years later.We haven't washed it.

I did not fine it to smell like plastic or rubber. It actually kinds of smelled like chocolate to me more than anything.
