Does the foam give off an 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 have not noticed any issue with odor. I think foam is capable of retaining smells in the environment. So a person who cooks with lots of exotic spices, smokes cigars or cigarettes or cannot allow fresh air into the room might probably smell those odors in the foam.

It does have a odor, but the only time I notice it is in the box they come in. When I put them out I do not notice it.

I never checked for a "smell" when I received mine. I just automatically air anything like that when I get it for a couple of days. If there was a smell, it was gone in that short time. The pillows are wonderful, by the way.

Yes, very much so. The smell actually gave me a headache initially. The foam with the gel especially had a strong chemical odor.

Not a mold smell. It's a chemical smell from the foam. If you make sure to kneed it to get the left over gas out and let it sit the smell goes away completely.

It does have the foam smell at first, but once it is aired out and expanded for a day or so, there is no smell. I absolutely love our 3" memory foam topper and have since purchased two more.

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.

There is a smell, the same that any foam product has. It should eventually dissipate.

I don't believe so since I have an extremely sensitive nose and the form has no odor indicating it was treated with anything. I'm very happy with the quality of the foam.

Hi Connie. I don't know about anyone else, but my memory foam mattress does not have any odor. I did air out the mattress before folding into my queen size sofa bed. I waited and aired it out about 2 hours. So far no odors, and is very comfortable. My only concern is that my sofa bed and mattress do not measure precisely. What happens is that part of the mattress overflows from sides. The sofa bed mechanism is rubbing against the sides and wearing the sides to where pretty soon it may make holes on the side. Hope I answered your question Connie. Take Care. Francisco.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but it looks like the other two answers gave a pretty good description of the foam. I had one person ask me if it had a rolled edge around the top, and it does not. I use the mattress in my spare bedroom, but my guests have said it is comfortable. It did have a weird smell when I first got it, but after letting it air for a week, the odor went away, and their is no smell now.

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

I had no problem with smell. Of course there is a little odor until it airs for about an hour. I have a mattress that I paid $3000 for and I sleep better on this on top of a futon.

I did not detect any odor. I washed them both before using them and so far it absolutely love them, no complaints, comfortable, and saving my expensive pillows.

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.

Not that I am aware of. I have had my pillow 16 years now and have bought 4 others to leave at my children's homes for when I visit. The pillow has no odor at all.

Hello-The pillows do not have a foam odor. However, they do collect body heat aNd can get too warm.
