I have had my topper for 2 months and the smell is still there. Any suggestions. I used opened windows, Lysol, Fabreeze...still stinks.

I didn't have this problem. I aired it out as directed and though the scent was strong at first it disipated rather quickly. Consider a strong plastic mattress cover, it may contain whatever scent is still lingering. Best of luck.

You can remove the outer covering and toss it in the wash. Or you could try to vacuum it. The smell on mine dissipated in a little over a week. So you have to deal with it for now. The more you "re-fur" it, the sooner it stops smelling weird.

Mine arrived without any smell. I suggest contacting the manufacturer to ask for advice. Alternatively, try using a white vinegar and water solution to clean it out.

My pop has been sleeping on this topper for about 6 weeks and he has not complained of getting too hot. It is designed not to get too hot and is a great topper. Takes about 2 days airing out flat to lose the new smell. I think it would be an inexpensive fix for u and worth a try. My Dad is using this on a twin adjustable foam hospital bed and it works great.

I have that problem too. It is the filter. Once you change the filter the smell goes away. However, it seems like I always have to change the filter!

I've also washed mine twice, sprayed it with odoban, and sprayed it with Ozium.I bought this because a lot of the reviews mentioned that the smell /does/ go away, but so far that hasn't been my experience. I've only owned it for a few days, of course, but it still smells so strongly that I'm afraid to have it indoors, let alone put my netbook in it and carry it with me.

We did not have an issue. The smell was reminiscent of a "new product smell" that dissipated once it was no longer new. I would imagine that it might be remedied with a cleaning?

If it is too late for Amazon to take it back or if you have used it, you might consider selling the one you have on Amazon and buying the one you want. There is actually an advantage a used topper has over a new one, namely that it would not stink of petrochemicals for the first few weeks.

I didn't notice any smell with mine and I'm pretty sensitive to odors. I'd recommend letting it air out in a well ventilated place for a few days or weeks until it dissipates.

Mine doesnt have any smell at all i would try cleaning it with dreft stain remover. As weird as it sounds it is a really good cleaner for stenches (cant say ive ever tried it on that smell) or exchange it. I bet it warmed up somewhere that caused the plastic to smell that way.

No. I bought 2 for myself and was so happy I bought 2 for my boyfriend and neither order did we notice a smell. I know the smell you speak of because I've bought toppers and a memory foam bed.

My pillow absolutely REEKED when I first received it. Seemed way worse then most people are reporting, maybe it was a fresh batch of foam or something but the smell lingered for more than a few days. Even six months later if I stick my face in it I can smell it. That being said I'm sure sticking it in the wash would help rid the pillow of its chemical stench right away and after the smell was gone/tolerable I really liked the pillow.

I've got a good sniffer, and I detect no odor at all. It's nothing but polyester fiber fill (like you might find in a throw pillow) with that kind of papery/plastic outer layer that some mattress pads are made from. If there was any odor back when I first bought it, I would have put it in the dryer on AIR FLUFF or spritzed it with Febreze or hung it on the line for a couple hours.

I've had my mats on for about a month now. I used an air freshener to combat the smell and it's pretty much all gone....or I'm just used to it.

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.

The smell is bad, but it goes away quickly in a well ventilated area. My suggestion would be to fluff it daily and turn it over daily until the smell dissipates.
