Default Do latex mattresses smell?
I recently purchased a Natures Rest latex mattress and am very happy
with it except for a rather annoying chemical smell. I'm assuming the
odor is what latex smells like but it's so unpleasant I'll probably
have to return the mattress, which is a shame because it's super
comfortable.

Does anyone have experience with latex mattresses and the odor I'm
experiencing with mine? Does the odor fade considerably over time,
and if so how much time?

yes there is a slight smell when new. If you can take the mattress outside
NOT in direct sun and let it air out the odor should go away. Latex
mattresses are really very nice. One thing you may want to do if to get a
mattress pad of some sort the latex mattress like the "memory cell" can be
warm on hot days a little like sleeping on a rubber sheet!

After you finish having sex, take the latex condom off your cock and
smell it? Does it smell the same?

While you are at it, think of doing a search for latex allergies on
the web. I think you will return it for sure.
