Is there an odor from the plastic or foam for these mats?

Yes, there was only for the first 3 to 4 days. I don't smell anything any more

There is no remarkable odor. When just opened from the protective sleeve the mat came in there was a slight plastic smell. I've had the mat for months and don't smell any odor in the room it's used in, even up close there is no overwhelming smell of plastic , only a slight one.

There was an odor when they were new but I don't notice it anymore. I never thought it was so bad that I would keep anyone from tumbling on it. We have two of these mats and love them.

Yes. We keep in a well ventilate area. The odor is not as strong now. We agree with PHL to SFO. We too enjoy the mats. The boys use it for outside workouts with a tarp under it so it is protected from the small limbs, rocks you might find in the yard.

There was an odor when I first opened up the mats from the protective plastic but I can't say that there is an odor now. Once the mat is opened up and used the odor has gone away.

I wish I could answer your question. It is impossible for me to distinguish. The odor has settled down, but it is still lingering. I would say the odor was a 10+++ for the first few weeks, and now is a 3 out of ten. It has improved, but is in no terms gone. I would not have small children play on this mat. It is unfortunate because otherwise, I love this mat.

No odor whatsoever & I have an acute sense of smell. However, we have had these for a while so I don't remember if there was an odor at first. My daughter is a gymnast & uses these frequently. They are good quality & well worth it!

We have them in our truck and they didn't have a strong scent and it's hard plastic. We absolutely love them. The truck's carpet stays clean and try and the mats are super easy to clean.

Everything does have smell, however, I do not smell this mat in my home. Therefore, I'll say no there is no strong smell from this mat.

I've never noticed one. I hand wash them after each use, never noticed any odor.

I'm not sure. The bags are soft and I use them for bread. There isn't any odor to them as there is with a polypropylene trash bag. I like them!

It had a funny smell in the beginning, but it just needed a little airing out. As for the materials, the listing says "Our Tumbling Mats are made with 18 oz. vinyl and industry standard, cross-linked polyethylene foam"

Not that I am aware of. I have been using this item for years with no problems. Maybe the smell is from the plastic.

Mine didn't have an odor of any kind. If the odor continues I would recommend you send them back for an exchange or refund.

No I did not notice any type of odor from this loveseat....the plastic protective shipping cover may have had a small odor...not the couch

I didn't experience any odor with my bench. It came boxed up and wrapped in plastic, and once it was assembled ( legs put on) it was ready to go - no lingering plastic odor or anything. I really like the padding - it has enough cushion so that i can practice for a 2 hour stretch and have no problems.

I have no ideal. But I will tell you that I had no odor at all with my cover. Sometimes the odor of the factory gets inside the packaging and that might be what they smell. All automotive products has some sort of smell as they are mostly made from petroleum. That's where plastics come from.

I ordered a set in August. They didnt have the plastic smell you probably expect. I put the set in the car the day they were delivered without airing out. No issues.

I am not overly sensitive, but I know what you mean. Sometimes I go in a store and the smell of plastic is overwhelming - I can't wait to get out of there! There has never been a chemical/urethane smell to my mat - even when it was new.It is a terrific product!!!!! I have owned one for 10 months and I bought my dog a mat as well.
