My Latex Topper Smells. Bad Apple?
| Hi. I bought two 1" talalay latex toppers from Foam by Mail and they feel great, but they smell horrible. It was oppressive. I put them outside for a week to air out, and at the end of the week I could smell them from 10 feet away. I decided to leave them out through the rain and let them dry out. The smell is still oppressive. I bought them in early summer, about June, and it still smells so bad I don't want to use them. Did I get a bad apple, or do all latex toppers smell? Should I buy some new ones from someone else? |

push for an exchange or return. natural latex does have a slight smell to it, but if it is REALLY noticeable it is probably because it got wet. if you get latex wet and it stays wet it will smell really bad. so actually do not attempt to wash this piece just in the event they might exchange it for another piece of latex as it may make it only easier for them to not return it. |

HELP please - my 100% pure natural latex mattress (dunlop) smells. I am really concerned about this.We have been having this mattress for more than 6weeks now. For the first month we had to leave it unzipped and uncovered from its outer cover in a separate bedroom with windows non-stop open for over a month. We even avoided going to the room much, as the smell quickly spread over the house.I have to say that the smell has decreased considerably (and we started sleeping on it in last 2 weeks), but the smell still lingers enough to bother us. Our 2.5 year old daughter sleeps in bed with us and even if she takes only an hour nap in the afternoon, I can smell the mattress on her pyjama and her body (through a good quality mattress protector and a bedsheet!)! I myself am pregnant and although I keep reading about the smell not gassing off and not being harmful in these mattresses, I am concerned more and more. I think I would rather return it (but our trial period has ended). we were told (and everywhere I am reading I can see) that mattress smell should go within 6 weeks. Does anyone have a similar experience? |
