First, don't worry. It's completely normal to notice an odor when you have a new mattress and pillow made with pressure relief materials. The odor isn't toxic and won't harm your health. As far as the mattress goes, if the smell bothers you, we recommend removing the bedding and airing the room out thoroughly for several hours so fresh air can enter. A fire-retardant mattress protector could cause the odor to linger longer, so we suggest removing it until the smell disappears completely. All Zedbed mattresses contain high-density materials that allow us to ensure that your mattress will perform better. Because these materials are more complex than the components in conventional foam mattresses, it's normal for odor to be more noticeable. It will go away soon. As for your pillow, allowing it to air out for a few hours should resolve the situation.
