I didn't notice a strong odor that was worth complaining about, it is a really good cover and very well made

I didn't notice a chemical smell, but then again, we didn't open it until we were at the beach with a constant breeze and have only used it at the beach so far. Again, we were in a breezy area, so there were no problems with it getting stuffy, but i wouldn't think that would be a problem anywhere because the sides are all mesh and the front opens pretty wide.

I didn't notice any odor from mine, nor from the one the same I got for my daughter (I helped her put a duvet cover on it). We love ours, - the best duvet I ever owned. It just molds to your body in such a lovely way. Hope you get to enjoy yours. I wouldn't wash it. Hang it out in the shade, outside for awhile.

Hello Fredric, I believe the odor is due to the fact that this is genuine leather. I have had mine for about a month and it has not gone away yet.

I received mine today and it has a VERY strong odor. Which, is making the headache that I got this product to help with, much worse.

A little in the beginning but there is a zippered cover for it. We haven't been bothered by any smell.

Leave it out in the open to ventilate for a day or so, and then use an interior detail protectant. I use Mother's Protectant which has a great smell as well as being able to protect the leather very well. This smell is caused by the recapturing of out gassing from the leather typically due to being enclosed for extended periods during shipment. This is not unusual for new parts of this type being shipped overseas.

the packaging may contribute to the odor. I am extremely sensitive to synthetic odors. You may not have that problem. Best wishes

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- I had no odor with mine. I really like it but it is very firm so if you don't like firm you should pass

I didn't notice any strong odors from ours. We put it in the car within a day of removing from the box. I wouldn't be concerned.

I have not experienced any type of odor, plus the cover can be removed and washed periodically.

I never used mine because the rubber compound in the cover releases an overwhelming toxic smell! It's still in my garage airing out ! Maybe in a few months it will de-gas

I have never found if to have a strong odor. Mine doesn't and so far I have had no problems with using it ,

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.

If there was, I didn't notice it. We use them for our rentals and I haven't noticed any odors from them since we bought them months ago. If there is an odor, you can just wash it before you use it.

I used our regular mattress cover...it was deep enough and the elastic goes over our mattress and the topper. We have no noticeable smell. Love the topper. How disappointing for you as it is a bigger purchase. Maybe the zippered covers they sell for bedbugs would be less permeable with smells?
