Is there an odor from the plastic or foam for these mats?

Yes, there was only for the first 3 to 4 days. I don't smell anything any more

There is no remarkable odor. When just opened from the protective sleeve the mat came in there was a slight plastic smell. I've had the mat for months and don't smell any odor in the room it's used in, even up close there is no overwhelming smell of plastic , only a slight one.

There was an odor when they were new but I don't notice it anymore. I never thought it was so bad that I would keep anyone from tumbling on it. We have two of these mats and love them.

Yes. We keep in a well ventilate area. The odor is not as strong now. We agree with PHL to SFO. We too enjoy the mats. The boys use it for outside workouts with a tarp under it so it is protected from the small limbs, rocks you might find in the yard.

There was an odor when I first opened up the mats from the protective plastic but I can't say that there is an odor now. Once the mat is opened up and used the odor has gone away.

I wish I could answer your question. It is impossible for me to distinguish. The odor has settled down, but it is still lingering. I would say the odor was a 10+++ for the first few weeks, and now is a 3 out of ten. It has improved, but is in no terms gone. I would not have small children play on this mat. It is unfortunate because otherwise, I love this mat.

No odor whatsoever & I have an acute sense of smell. However, we have had these for a while so I don't remember if there was an odor at first. My daughter is a gymnast & uses these frequently. They are good quality & well worth it!

Initially, the foam does have a smell. We aired it out for about 2 weeks and then it was ok. We are sensitive to smells. You might want to wash the cover to speed up the process. Any foam in a plastic will have a smell and we were aware of it since it is not the first foam topper or mattress we bought.

If there was, I didn't notice it. We use them for our rentals and I haven't noticed any odors from them since we bought them months ago. If there is an odor, you can just wash it before you use it.

I aired them out and didn't notice an odor. They are horrible pillows though....don't waste your money.

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.

No smell. It's the reason why I went with honest foam versus the other kind.

No. From day one the mat had no oder. I have use it 3-4 times since I bought it and only used a hot damp cloth to wipe clean. I really like this mat!

No Smell, I couldn't be happier with this mat. I do use it in my garage but never smelled an odor.

The mats I received were made of a foam rubber material and they are quite durable. When new they did have a plastic/rubber oder that has since gone away. They are washable. Just wipe with a soapy clothe, rinse and let dry.

I have just started using them and have not noticed any odor. The only issue has been they don't work effectively with sheets because they become trapped inside the sheets and can't bounce around.

No plastic odor at all. The cord is 9' long & detaches from the pad so the pad can be machine washed.

Sorry I don't have an answer. I actually throwaway because strong chemical odor. I've tried to return they asked me to pay for return shipping, it was almost the price of the mats themselves.

I have purchased two of these mats. The first one was too small because I didn't notice that you could order different sizes. I used that one in a smaller downstairs room and used the larger one for myself in my office. I did notice a plastic odor (very faint) on the first one (like newly formed plastic) but no odor at all on the second one (the larger of the two). If it holds up and doesn't break over time I will be very pleased with the mat.

I have not noticed any odor. It is like a door mat but very effective under my stationary bike.
