Received a cover that (was cheap) and smelled horribly, even after washing. Trashed it. Does this have a plastic smell?

I didn't find that it had any significant smell, being more of a canvas material than proper plastic any "new" smell disappears quickly and I never found it a problem :)

It's white cotton cover with zipper. Not bad! But the insert smells really bad. Chemical material smell. Or maybe it's just my sense of smell.

I really don't know, sorry. Some reviewers have mentioned an odor from their cover, mine had no "smell" at all. I bought two and neither had an odor.

I've had no issues with the odor. I barely notice the "plastic smell" most people comment on. I have a friend who also uses one and his does not smell either. I took mine apart and put it through the dishwasher before ever using it. Now, I wash it off with rubbing alcohol between uses, and as I said, I never smell the plastic. I hope that helps... Good luck.

The blanket was wrapped in plastic. When I opened the plastic, it smelled like a new sweater. The was no offsetting smell, like there sometimes was even with the clean Army blankets I've been issued.

When originally out of the packaging it smells like plastic. Then the smell faded away. It was not an overwhelming smell or anything.

It didn't have that kind of smell. It smelled like plastic and plywood for a few hours but once it was assembled and out of the box. That disapated.

Yes, the plastic smell is there when you open it until it gets aired out. It's not paper thin but I wouldn't call it super heavy duty either.

I washed and dried my mattress cover before putting it on the bed for the first time and I have not had an issue with any type of bad "smell" coming from it. It does not move around on my mattress...it fits perfectly and the stretchy sides keep it in place. I am very pleased with this mattress cover.

No it doesn't. It smells like plastic, I didn't notice any particular smell.

I never noticed a plastic smell......if it is present I suspect it will go away......like a new car smell!

Ours had no odor. Just the plastic-type smell maybe the first day after unwrapping it. It's very functional and I've recieved lots of compliments

Dear Emili, I have purchased 3 of these and I have not noticed any smell. Have you tried washing the whole thing and not just the cover? We have washed ours several times and they come back to the same shape they were and fresh as can be.

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.

I can't say that mine had that kind of an odor to it when it arrived but it did have somewhat of a chemical smell that lingered for a day or so but went away rather quickly. I assumed it may have been from being stored in some place with some type of chemical. But mine didn't have that strong of an smell, just a kind of harsh new processed plastic chemical smell, if you know what I mean. And like I said, it faded away within a day or so. Sorry, that's probably not much help... :(

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.
