Does this have a toxic smell when you first open the package? If so, how long did it take to off-gas?

I ordered it a long time ago so my memory may not be accurate but I don't recall any sort of odor emanating from the product.

No not yet but then again we don't use it that much. If I was you I would request a replacement unit from the seller or your money back. That smell in most cases is probably toxic and you need to let the seller no that,and if they don't comply I would get AMAZON INVOLVED.

No -- I did not smell any odor from it. I worked fast and I was very comfortable using it. I have been "organic for years -- this is a great product.

No I did not notice a smell. Plus this mattress is made out of non toxic materials. It's been a great mattress for my son. The only issue we had is once he was a little older it got uncomfortable for him to sleep because it is so firm. He started waking up many times a night. I bought an organic mattress pad and he has slept comfortably on it until he was 3 and moved to a big bed. I plan to buy another one of these for my second son too so would recommend this mattress to others.

I had mine delivered 36 hours back ... it expanded to full size in an hour and there is no odour. The mattress is heavy after it expands. I had no problems as such with regards to inflating to the right size. i do notice the corners are not as sharp and depicted and happy with the quality of the white cover provided. Nevertheless a good buy ...

I'm not sure about it being BPA free, but I don't recall a toxic smell when opening and setting up.

I have not noticed any off gassing. I'm on my 3rd set of smokestop filters and they're working better than expected without any odor.

No, there should be no smell at all after you have hooked up all the lines or canisters.........I say AFTER because when first hooking or unhooking lines/canisters there will be some leakage.........after a certain time (10 min ?) if there is any smell you should check all lines and tanks......if STRONG smell and in confined space you should not use of course but in your situation in a green house I would think that is not so air tight but then like I said you should not have any odor, I have a little buddy set up in my garage with a 20 pound tank and also a big buddy set up at my cabin and neither has any odor at all !

I don't remember if it smelled the very first time out of the package. But it doesn't smell when I turn it on after having it for a year.

A slight but normal plastic smell when you first open it up but after my first use it was already lessen. Hope I was helpful

It's garbage. It reeks horribly... I believe it's got a polyurethane wrapping, which is responsible for the majority of the off-gassing. Big, giant notice stating that it meets CA flammability requirements, AKA it's chock full of flame retardant chemicals. Not at all non-toxic.

I wish I could help you concerning the odor. I never opened the one I bought up. It was a replacement for someone in the family. I accidentally Machine WASHED hers and it Ruined it! Don't wash it, take it to the cleaners and ask them is my suggestion.

Yes. I am finding that it takes a long time to off gas, if that is the right term. I let them (I bought two) stay for two weeks in an empty room then put them on the beds. but even now two months later they smell bad when you lie on the bed and have your face close to the mattress topper

Because I also read complaints re: odor. I opened up the Krate and left it to air out prior to letting my dog in it. I haven't had any unusual odors, since!

I don't recall any offensive smell with mine, maybe a new/or packaged smell but once it was out of the box and assembled, it was fine. I believe this is a great product and the answer to all of the kitty litter problems I had previously experienced.

Mine had a very strong odor so I put it in my garage to air out, it has been 4 weeks now and it still smells but not as bad, maybe in another month or two I will be able to use it.

It had a *strong* chemical smell when I unpacked it and as I was assembling it, but 24 hours later it seems to be odorless. If you have a strong reaction to that sort of thing, I'd have a friend unpack it outside or in the garage and then I'd let it air out for a few hours or a day before assembling it.
