Is there an odor from the plastic or foam for these mats?

Yes, there was only for the first 3 to 4 days. I don't smell anything any more

There is no remarkable odor. When just opened from the protective sleeve the mat came in there was a slight plastic smell. I've had the mat for months and don't smell any odor in the room it's used in, even up close there is no overwhelming smell of plastic , only a slight one.

There was an odor when they were new but I don't notice it anymore. I never thought it was so bad that I would keep anyone from tumbling on it. We have two of these mats and love them.

Yes. We keep in a well ventilate area. The odor is not as strong now. We agree with PHL to SFO. We too enjoy the mats. The boys use it for outside workouts with a tarp under it so it is protected from the small limbs, rocks you might find in the yard.

There was an odor when I first opened up the mats from the protective plastic but I can't say that there is an odor now. Once the mat is opened up and used the odor has gone away.

I wish I could answer your question. It is impossible for me to distinguish. The odor has settled down, but it is still lingering. I would say the odor was a 10+++ for the first few weeks, and now is a 3 out of ten. It has improved, but is in no terms gone. I would not have small children play on this mat. It is unfortunate because otherwise, I love this mat.

No odor whatsoever & I have an acute sense of smell. However, we have had these for a while so I don't remember if there was an odor at first. My daughter is a gymnast & uses these frequently. They are good quality & well worth it!

I did not detect any odor. I washed them both before using them and so far it absolutely love them, no complaints, comfortable, and saving my expensive pillows.

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

I ordered a set in August. They didnt have the plastic smell you probably expect. I put the set in the car the day they were delivered without airing out. No issues.

No, they do not have a "rubber" odor, they smelled "new" when we received them, but I wouldn't say they had a "rubber" odor.

Hi Sandra! Mine was fine. Smelled a little strong of new plastic but the odor dissipated after the first washing with some dishes. I love these mats; they fit great in the sinks and look good with the stainless steel sink. I don't leave mine in the sink though; I only use them when I'm washing dishes so I don't know about staining.

I haven't noticed any odor. Maybe a little when removing the paper backing but nothing that lasted longer than the initial installation.

Our mats did not smell. But if you get a sunny day putting them outside should help. Have a great day!

there is no odor that I have noticed. They do make a little noise when you have them in your dryer, but your sheets and towels come out great. Plus they are really cute.

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

We have them in our truck and they didn't have a strong scent and it's hard plastic. We absolutely love them. The truck's carpet stays clean and try and the mats are super easy to clean.

I didn't experience any odor with my bench. It came boxed up and wrapped in plastic, and once it was assembled ( legs put on) it was ready to go - no lingering plastic odor or anything. I really like the padding - it has enough cushion so that i can practice for a 2 hour stretch and have no problems.

Hi! I didn't have a chemical odor with this mat. That being said, why don't you try soaking it in a tub that has a few inches of warm water that has had baking soda mixed in it. That should remove the smell.

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.

No, I have not found that to be true. I've used my mat many many times and it has no smell.

No plastic odor at all. The cord is 9' long & detaches from the pad so the pad can be machine washed.
