Question from LR

Geo-Matt 100% Polyurethane Foam 3 inch mattress bed topper is great, but it has strong chemical smell. Is it treated with something? Will airing prior to use fix the problem smell?

Debra’s Answer

No, it’s not treated with something and airing it out won’t help. What you are smelling is the polyurethane plastic itself. I recommend tossing it out and getting a wool topper instead.
