Does the foam mattress have a bad smell?

It has a synthetic type smell when it's new, but that disapates within a day or two out of the packaging. If it lasts longer than that, could be moldy from being wet or something and you should get another

It's the same type of foam used in regular mattresses, and the fabric can be removed and washed if it gets dirty. So, no bad smell.

I left it outside for several hours after unwrapping it and by the time I used it there was no smell.

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.

I have not noticed any issue with odor. I think foam is capable of retaining smells in the environment. So a person who cooks with lots of exotic spices, smokes cigars or cigarettes or cannot allow fresh air into the room might probably smell those odors in the foam.

I didn't notice any smell from the beginning. I also bought the wood foundation and smelled a little fresh cut wood smell from that for a couple days but none of the "foam"mell others have commented about.

Hi Connie. I don't know about anyone else, but my memory foam mattress does not have any odor. I did air out the mattress before folding into my queen size sofa bed. I waited and aired it out about 2 hours. So far no odors, and is very comfortable. My only concern is that my sofa bed and mattress do not measure precisely. What happens is that part of the mattress overflows from sides. The sofa bed mechanism is rubbing against the sides and wearing the sides to where pretty soon it may make holes on the side. Hope I answered your question Connie. Take Care. Francisco.

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.

My mattress didn't have an odor, but some people who left reviews said theirs did. This was the best item I bought from Amazon in 2014.

At first it smelled like new upholstery and i believe the memory foam did have a distinct smell, but it faded away. I believe the foam just has a smell when its new. Didn't bother me

It has a "new foam" smell for a few days, but after that I didn't notice. I don't think its harmful, it just stinks when straight out of the package.

No, it didn't have and smell and has held it's shape. I also purchased padding for bed , which did not have a smell.

No smell whatsoever. It's a fantastic mattress. Clean, comfortable, lightweight.

No. There is/was no product smell or odor. We were surprised how comfortable this bed was during our recent 2-week trip. A sheet or blanket over the top works great.Just make sure you have an electric pump (110v or car adapter). The battery pump provided was not that good.

I purchased it for my wife and unpacked it myself. I do not remember any distinctive odor. She used it the day it arrived and every day since. Just to double check, I asked her if there is or was any "foam" odor, and she replied "not that I'm aware of". Hope that helps. And sorry about her ending the comment with a preposition-drives me nuts !

I've had my mattress for several months, so my memory may be foggy....but I do not remember noticing a smell - certainly not one that lingered.

It is a cheap foam mattress with chemicals added to make it memory foam, we only used it one night because the smell was so bad from the chemicals. I tried to wash the foam the next day to get rid of the smell - but all the chemicals ran out -what was left was a cheap piece of foam that then got recycled.

I'm assuming it's due to memory foam. Most memory foam has strong smell. Mine didn't last long

The question to me used the word "small", I see with the post your question was about "smell". Now that we are on the same page...A minty smell is there when you open it. Open the foam up and lay on the bed to air out. It goes away in a day or two.
