We know that it will provide you years of comfort. Upon removing it from the packaging you may notice a newness scent. In order to maximize your enjoyment of this product, it is recommended that you air it out for 8 or more hours in a well ventilated space before using, to allow the newness scent to completely dissipate."

Still......... it IS VERY COMFORTABLE to sleep on..... so I'll give it one more night to see if I can learn how to get on & off without breaking my back 8,564 posts, read 15,201,886 times Originally Posted by Flamingo13 My 2nd floor bedroom is as cold as a meat locker so I use an electric mattress pad, which I sleep on --- and an electric blanket on top!! If the memory foam retains heat, all the better Regarding your feather bed..... perhaps it was something OTHER THAN white goose-down, therefore the odor I've used white goose-down comforters for many years, and never experienced any odor. My new urethane memory topper came with that card..... which also said: Although unlikely, some people may find themselves hyper-sensitive to the newness scent, in which case you may wish to discontinue use and return the product to your retailer."
