I have breathing problems and am concerned about fumes. Does the foam have a noticeable smell?

It definitely does out of the package. Not after a good airing out though. There was no more smell within a couple weeks.

According to package directions, the foam should be aired out in a well ventilated area for 24 (or 48) hours before use. Over this time, the foam will decompress slowly. After the airing period, there should be no noticeable smell at all.

Initially, the foam does have a smell. We aired it out for about 2 weeks and then it was ok. We are sensitive to smells. You might want to wash the cover to speed up the process. Any foam in a plastic will have a smell and we were aware of it since it is not the first foam topper or mattress we bought.

You will be alright, the foam does not have any noticeable smell, but remember I did buy this foam a year and half ago, the company probably changed. But there no smell at all.

It does at first. I had to let it sit out of the cover for a couple of days, and once I did that, it was fine. I can't smell anything now.

We did not notice a smell that was of any consequence. When we first opened it sure it smelled like foam but uh hello it's made of foam!

Yes, you will notice a different smell to the air in your house. It is gone after about a week and a half. Mine had it and the only thing I can compare it to was it smelled like a hospital. I am breathing a lot easier and have not noticed the smell recently.

I don't know I haven't noticed any horrible smell coming from mine. I think I would notify the company.

There is a slight odor but as long as you have proper ventilation you should be okay. I would really check with the maker of this product.

I prefer the I don't use the memory foam side, but have not detected any odor. I find it to be fine temperature wise.

I don't think so. I put the foam on right away...only leaving it until that night to sleep on. The odor was slight..at least to me. I did not receive any instructions on waiting.

No. I have been using them for several months and have not noticed any smell.

I don't really notice any smell. It certainly wouldn't be noticed by anybody outside of the user.

No odor that l have noticed. But the cushion is not used daily, just occasionally. That may make a difference.

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 am maybe more sensitive to chemicals than most people, and unfortunately, I would say after letting it air for 2 days, that there is still a very unpleasant smell. I put a mattress cover on top of it, but I still notice a very unpleasant smell. I don't notice it until I am in bed, where it's very close to my face.

No not at all. I barely notice any smell and if there is one it does not linger.

I did not notice any odor. I have a tempurpedic mattress and did notice the odor from that foam for a couple of weeks.

When I first recieved the foam pad and lad it out in a Spare room., Yes it did have an odor. After after about 24-48 hours the odor dissappears. I absolutely love my foam and have had it for about a yr.
