Once it dries, does it still have a strong smell? I want to use it for a kid's room project, but worried that vapors/odor will linger in the kid's room.

Hi, I 've used it after acqua gym for 3 days in a row and it didn't smell at all. Of course, I hung it on a line afterwards

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.

Hi Almost all plastics will off-gas creating a smell when new however I do not recall any strong odor coming from this product. If you are super sensitive and find the smell objectionable, wipe it down with a 50/50 solution of vinegar/water and wipe dry. Keeping it away from heat and out of direct sunlight will also help to minimize any smell. In my opinion, smell will not be a problem with this product.

It has a smell much like any other urathane product. I used it in my basement with zero ventilation and had no issues. It truely is a great product. 3 coats. Use wire wool in between each and leave the final coat.

I didn't notice any smell to it besides the normal "plastic" smell. I am not using it for water containment so I did not really pay that much attention to it. Maybe soaking it with water and vinegar and then letting it air out with the top off would get rid of the smell?

The first couple of times that I used mine, it had a strong smell of burning plastic as well. It has definitely faded over time though.

I did notice the smell but mine wasn't what I would call strong. And it did air out. Haven't noticed since the first day. Hope this helps.

I don't recall it having a strong odor. If it had a smell at all it was very minimal. I'll check again this evening when I'm home and reply back for certain.

Yes, it does have an odor for a few days. I laid it out in my guest room to relax after unpacking it, and after the 3rd day, most of the odor was gone. Once it's on the bed and it's made, there is NO odor noticeable at all. I'm very sensitive to odors, and this was a big concern of mine. But, it worked out so well in our camper, I just ordered one for our bed at home too.

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.

Not really non-smelly, but not over-powerful or unpleasant. I only have used it on dining tables and furniture. I'm not sure if the drying of a large section of floor would be the same. Hope this helps. Dan

It does have a smell and I would not use it indoors-unless you like to clean :) it seems like it left more little specs of string than others cans might have.

I bought one recently to replace the 6 or so years old one I had. I also usually store this one on the floor.... It smells but not strong, just herbally. I'm sensitive to smells and it doesn't bother me. No where as strong as menthol, cinnamon, lavender, or vanilla (all scents I can think of right now).

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.

No, but will it you get it wet. Also advisable to use in a well ventilated space, the aerosol is strong & smells awful.

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.
