My DS has a boori cot, but didn't sleep in it until he was over a year old, as I ended up having him in our room with us (first in a bassinet, then in a portacot). By the time he made it into his cot, any smell it had was long gone!

I guess if you still aren't happy with the smell by the time your bring your baby home... perhaps you could use a bassinet in a different room for a week or so??
