Anyone get the mattress un-stinked, or cover mattress w/ something to block smell? I want to love this thing but worry about the smell/gases. Thanks!

I hung mine up in a room with open window - it's still hanging there because we are not using it yet. If you are more worried about the gases, then perhaps it would be worth investing in organic mattress? I may do the same, just waiting to see if my kid actually ends up sleeping in this thing.

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.

My bed did/does not smell so I can't be of any assistance. Suggest you contact manufacturer if possible.

Mine doesn't smell at all. I take it out at night so it can dry completely. Maybe you could try that. I hope that helps. I really like it!

Unless it recently comes with a cover (per Peter Bell's comment) it did NOT have one when I received it. I still love the mattress though......... :-)

Hi Marilyn, All foam products will have a very temporary and light "new foam smell" as with many new materials. We recommend removing the zippered cover and letting the foam open air for a few hours if you have sensitivity to smell. We will gladly accept returns which have any defects.

I received mine as a gift just yesterday. Very strong smell like I had just painted the entire bedroom. This was after the mattress had sat for 2 days to expand in another room in the house. I am hoping that someone can seriously tell me this odor goes away.

foobah... My Tempur-Pedic (T-P) bed had zero emissions or funky smells from day one and has zero shape issues - none - and it is extremely helpful for the absolute need. Also comes with a TWENTY YEAR warranty, love mine is all I can say. Wish they would offer them here on Amazon as they are pricey to begin with, but U get what you pay for as they say. So true apparently. BTW, I have no stock, interest or bias with T-P just a satisfied sleeper thank God, NASA and T-P ;) good luck.

mine was kept in its original box while we moved. it came out just fine. when you take it out of the box just give it an hour and you have a great mattress. i got it for my mom and she loves it. it really doesnt matter how long its in the box because thats how they are at the warehouse and that could be a long time. glad i could help, enjoy the mattress. sandy

we have the mattress itself in an allergy-proof sealed zipper cover. any mattress pad we put on, we do so OVER that, so it can be taken off & washed. i think the heat is so gentle, that if it was under another pad, you would barely feel the heat. i suppose you could try it and just up the heat higher.

No. You'd need to get a zipper type enclosure around the whole mattress that allows air out but not chemicals. Something like a BabeSafe Cover (google it) would protect from off gassing.

Mine didn't have a smell? However I did wash mine because it got dirty and air dried it and it was fine. I guess that would be an option if there is a smell.

Dear Traci and others, MamaDoo Kids here. Thank you for your interest in the Smart Mattress Topper! Over 98% of our past customers did not smell anything other than your normal new foam smell... So even if there was a 2% that noticed some kind of weird smell we decided to change foam manufacturers. As you can all read in the last 3 years this has been a no issue.Have an awesome day!The MamaDoo Kids Team

I was worried about that too because I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and any kind of plastic smell would have driven me nuts. In short no, there is virtually no smell to mine when it arrived. The only smell I got from it was a little bit of a new cotton smell and that went away in minutes. The first night I had this my sheets hadn't shown up yet so I ended up sleeping directly on the mattress itself and I had no issues with smell. I have mine on a wood frame instead of a box spring because I like very firm beds, it does not seem to retain too much heat because I put off heat like a furnace when I sleep and I am not uncomfortable in it like I am in memory foam or similar beds.

Our mattress topper had a mild odor that dissipated within a couple days. The info that came with the topper directs inquiries io info@sleepjoy.com or 1-888-679-5790

Hello, It only took a few hours for it to "rise". I slept on the full size mattress 3-4 hours after I opened it, and it had no adverse "smell" that has been mentioned in other reviews. Hope this helps! : )

I bought a mattress cover (just a cheap one) at walmart just to save it from getting dirty. It worked well. Mine was a little padded and I think it help firm up the topper. I love it actually.
