Is there now a problem with Vellux blankets having an unremovable chemical smell? Our old one never had that.

I did not have a problem with smell from the Westpoint blankets. However, they were very THIN. I have not received my Martex blanket. Hope that is not the case.

I am not sure. I ended up throwing the blanket away. It was stiff and not very comfortable. It wasn't what I expected.

Mine didn't have any odor either. So there's no problem. Bad odor are usually related with expired items.

i really do not know.sometimes the wool is not washed(it should be)since i have not had mine dry cleaned,i do not know that either.my blanket does not smell,other than a wool smell.if you have not had the comforter too long you could exchange or return it.Amazon is good to let you print off a pd return postage form.i returned a pillow some time ago that had a dung odor,because it was not washed!!i could not bear to sleep on it.hope this helps!

I just received a full mattress and other than a non-offensive and subtle "new" smell while unpacking it did not have any of the unpleasant odor that people have described. Mine came with a cover zippered on it, and I wonder if that might have perhaps reduced any chemical scent?

Mine just came and it has a horrendous chemical smell. Will update in a week or two and let you know if it persists.

I think that's actually the smell of wool. We've had ours for a few months and it still has this faint wool smell.

Mine has no smell now for sure and did not notice any when it came in... But I always wash new stuff anyway....

I am unaware of a change. Maybe they are talking of initial smell with you unwrap it? I have had mine for some time now and don't smell anything and my son loves these mats. We build forts with them sometimes or use them on the hard floor as a cushioned place to play. Have had zero issues with smell or anything in regards to these.

I don't know!!! Honestly, mine have never had any odor at all. Where do you live? Maybe the warehouse that it is stored in and shipped from has something to do with it. With very damp weather in a wet storage building might create that smell. I have a subscription to the Kleenex, but I am in New York and not once have had such a smell in the tissues.

Mine didn't have a smell? However I did wash mine because it got dirty and air dried it and it was fine. I guess that would be an option if there is a smell.

Ours smelled TERRIBLE. It was a very moldy smell. There was no wet film though. We've had ours for a little over 2 months. We thought airing it out would help. While the odor is not as noticeable as it was originally(you could smell it upon entering the room!), it's still there. I smell it when I sit on it, and the smell transfers to items touching it (blankets, clothes, etc). Yuck!

Not to me. I've bought Ikea comforters for years and have never experienced that problem. I've seen reviews where others have stated that, but Maybe they are sensitive to smells.

My mattress pad never smelled at all! I am sorry that yours does. I am guessing you have washed it and the smell is still there?! I would tell Amazon about it and get them to replace it with another one. NO reason at all for the smell to linger......

No, ours didn't have any smell to them. My mother in law would notice that kind of thing too. Maybe you got a wrong batch? :o( That's terrible though.

I keep blankets in there, although I guess I didn't do it for the first couple of weeks--only because it wasn't blanket weather at that time. But, I didn't notice any chemical odors.

Mine doesnt have any smell at all i would try cleaning it with dreft stain remover. As weird as it sounds it is a really good cleaner for stenches (cant say ive ever tried it on that smell) or exchange it. I bet it warmed up somewhere that caused the plastic to smell that way.
