No idea, but another respondant indicated the odor does fade with time. In the mean time perhaps a mattress cover -- plastic or rubber

-- may help seal the smell?

One of the most expensive mattresses on the market with foam similar to what was invented at NASA for spacecraft seats smells for several days when you first get it and the instructions warn you of that.

I would not cover the mattress. It would have to breath for the odor to dissipate. If you can leave a window open during the day and or night, for the room to air out, 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
