When you open the package does the mattress pad have a chemical smell?

Has a slight smell of newness, took straight from package, put on mattress. It does not bother me and I have allergies. I love it, so soft and the side are stretchy ,so its easy to put over your mattress.

I wouldn't call it a chemical smell. It has a slight newly manufactured scent similar to some fabrics in fabric stores. Like I said in my review, I washed it and hung it to dry. That took care of any smell it had at first. I must tell you that I have a very sensitive nose, and because of that, i do not use fabric softener. I find it too strong. So there was no detergent or fabric softener scent to "cover up" the mattress pad's smell after washing, and yet I did not detect a smell after it was dried.

No, I don't recall any smell. My sense of smell is not great, but I would have noticed a significant odor or chemical smell and did not.

I didn't notice any smell that I can remember. I put it straight on my bed without washing and I don't notice any smell. However, I did put a 4" memory pad underneath and it has a slight rubbery smell, so I really didn't notice and all smells are gone now.

Yes. It is made from microfiber and has a heavy chemical oder. Not sure why my pad smells while it appears no others do...

I had no problems at all. There was no smell in the box or on the product. I don't recall the writing as it's been a while since I bought it.

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.

No chemical or other odor problem that I can smell. The pillow comes with a pillowcase which washes up very nicely. I am very happy.

Actually, I expected it to have a chemical odor when it was first opened, but it did not. I noticed no odor at all and was able to start using it immediately. It arrived in a large box, fully expanded, not like some foam bedding products that are shipped compressed, which do have a temporary chemical odor. I am still pleased with this purchase.

It did have a chemical scent when first opened but it went away quickly. No problem for us.

I too am bothered by strong smells and I have not had any problems with the pad. To tell you the truth except for taking it out of the box I have not smelled it at all. I got mine during the winter months and think that the heat must make the smell last a little longer because of the comments that have been made about the smell. I truly have not had a problem at all. Hope this helps you.

As far as I noticed, no it's not. It didn't arrive with any kind of noticeable or significant smell like most of the foam mattresses all seem to have. But I'm a guy and we tend to not notice things, so take that with a grain of salt.

Initially it has an odor from being packaged and the type of material. However, the smell evaporates over time and this is an excellent mattress topper.

No strong odor was noticed. When I first opened it, there was a little smell, but it went away quickly. I opened the mattress in the afternoon and slept on it that night, and I couldn't smell it at all.

Valerie - Although the bed is not in my home, I am around it frequently and have not noticed any chemical odor coming from the mattress.
