Years ago, I had the Cloud Supreme Breeze mattress, which has been replaced with the LuxBreeze (Soft). The LB is an upgrade in temperature control, thickness, and comfort - and it should be because it is twice the price. One thing it does have in common with the former version is the smell, which lasts for months. There is no way around it. I slept in a spare room for a week so the mattress could air out and now, I keep my comforter off the bed as much as possible and on sheet day, I remove everything first thing in the morning (including the mattress pad), wash it, and wait until bedtime to put everything back on. It is what it is. As a chronic pain person, the mattress is a necessity, not a choice.
