Many new matresses have a strong chemical smell when they are first purchased. My impression from mattresses I've bought in the past was that the cheaper the mattress the more strong the chemical smell it has. The smell does fade over time....barry mart

I would not cover the mattress. It would have to breath for the odor todissipate.If you can leave a window open during the day and or night, for the room to airout, that will help. It should not be as bad after about 2-3 days.At least mine was that way.Remove NoSpam to reply, Thanks
