How do you remove the cover to wash it? The two zippers have no handles and won't budge no matter how I try!

I had the same problem because they don't have zipper pulls. I used a piece of thin wire to loop through the little holes on top of the zipper heads to pull them up and down and it worked like a charm. I wouldn't leave the wire in there though as it might poke through or something.

Put a paper clip in the zipper where the tab would be. It will unzip right away. They take off the tabs for safety reasons.

Put a safety pin/paper clip through the zipper hole. This becomes a handle to pull the zipper. It's design this way so babies can't undo the zippers and play w. the padding material.

My cover has stayed up for a year so far. There is a plastic tubing that keeps it up but it should be removed before washing.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top. **UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

Take the rubber seal out and wash it also . Once open. I hope I was of some help to u. I had the same problem.

Hi and thanks for your interest in Jobri Bed Wedges from The Unwind Company!The cover can be unzipped and removed. There will be a tag on this cover that will indicate wash instructions to ensure maximum lifespan of this cover. Thanks again for your question. Hope you have a relaxing day!-Your Friends at The Unwind Company

I don't know if you can buy new covers (I would google it?), but the cover does unzip and can be removed for cleaning. Hope this helps!

I did not have a problem with my zipper, BUT having said that it seems all zippers are those tiny plastic ones now and it you're going to take it off once in a while I think getting the 12" deep would be a good 'just in case' solution. Plus, if you got a new mattress at some point you'd probably get a deeper one so you would be a head of the game. At some point (a year from now maybe) I will wash mine in the gentle cycle with cold water to see if it's possible to do.

I have washed it in the washer with warm/cold water, detergent and oxi cleaner. I dried it in the dryer on high heat. I washed and dried it with a towel load. It came out fine. It was hard to unsnap but that's probably good so that it doesn't come off unless you want it to.

yes there is a cover with a zipper on mine. I have taken it off and washed it and put it back on. It was pretty easy.

Yes the cover can be removed to be washed. It isn't the easiest thing to take apart and then put back together, but it will come off.

The seat can not be removed and washed-there's either plywood or plastic inside it. I also though it comes off but I tried and it doesn't.

Your question reminded me that I had never washed my bed and it was long past due. I unzipped the hood to make two pieces again, took the cover off the cushion and decided not to wash the inner pillow. It seemed like it might deteriorate, so I just aired it out. I put everything else in my large front-loading washer, after having to brush a whole lot of hair out of the seams areas, thanks to my Sheltie. I dried all three pieces and it came out good as new. The hood part even stays up better (it had been kind of droopy, though my dog seems to love being it, even when it is rather collapsed and more like a cocoon.) Hope you have the same luck as I did in machine washing this bed.

push down to remove cover and slide it off. Let me know if you still have trouble.

you are correct there is a zipper, however I don't know if they are washable. The material has a brushed nap to it, so I use a small wisk broom and spot clean (rarely needed) with distilled water. I would be a little hesitant to machine wash, maybe dry clean? 5 months of ownership and still loving it!

You can remove the outer covering and toss it in the wash. Or you could try to vacuum it. The smell on mine dissipated in a little over a week. So you have to deal with it for now. The more you "re-fur" it, the sooner it stops smelling weird.

The cover does not have a zipper, but a velcro closure, so it is removable to wash

The cover has a zipper, so it can be removed and washed, but I think it would be a real challenge to put it on again after washing. The pillow is big and clumsy - but effective - and if the cover shrinks at all, it most likely will not fit. I'd try spot-cleaning before removing the cover.
