New Mattress without Odor

Are there any mattress manufacturers that make mattresses without an initial or long-term scent? 

 

I've purchased many new traditional mattresses (Sealy, etc) that have a strong initial chemical smell.  I've also purchased a 100% natural latex bed that has a strong latex smell.  I'm very sensitive to smell so I'm looking for a mattress that doesn't have any smell.  Does something like this exist?  Do the common manufacturers make mattresses that have offgassed before delivery?

Thanks in advance

See my post above about off-gassing, and don't let the VOCs bite!

What about getting an air cleaner with a HEPA filter? They should trap anything at the micron level, including odor particles, so my guess is that a smell would clear much faster. I purchased a high-end $200 air cleaner that I have been very happy with but I don't have a new mattress yet so I'm not sure from firsthand experience what would happen to a smell.
