I own the mattress but my question is can I wash the outer cover? I noticed it has a zipper but idk if I can remove it or wash it

technically you can wash it but getting it back on the mattress isnt easy. Thats why i bought the mattress protector so i can wash that and not have to remove the original cover

Yes, but It's a hassle to zip up & put back on after drying. I know this from having my other mattress. So I purchased hypoallergenic cover and over that a water protector so the actual fabric will never get stained, dirty, soiled etc... Hey, I have kids. Hope that helps.

Catherine, you wash and dry the cover only like you do your sheets. It comes out great. Hope you're enjoying the pillow. I love mine. Thanks for asking.

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

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.

Yes, remove the grain-filled insert; wash the outer cover only. Machine-wash the cover in cold water on gentle cycle. Hang to dry.

you can wash it anyway you want. I have already washed mine. It did not hurt it.

Best mattress ever. The material that covers the foam is waterproof but not removable. Do you would be wiping the mattress itself if need be. I use a seperate waterproof mattress pad so I can just throw it in the wash but I guess you wouldn't need to.

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.

You could wash it with a cloth but I don't think it disassembles for washing. I covered the little mattress with a towel to make for easier cleanup.

I took it off and use regular fitted sheets with a nice thread count. Mine didn't slide off too badly, but I still replaced it with regular sheets because they are easy to wash, and microfiber, which is what the cover is made of, collects too much dust. It's a great bed otherwise!

You can take off the cover and put a garbage bag around the inner bed (then put cover back on). Then you'll only have to wash the cover if it gets soiled,and the bed itself won't be ruined. This trick has worked for me and really extended the life of my dog's bed.

I unzip and remove the large soft mattress. Then I remove the arm inserts, openings are inside by the head. Next, I machine wash the grey and white cover using COLD water. It's best to line dry the cover and hand wash the soft inserts. One thing that works for me is to put a cheap zippered vinyl mattress cover meant for a FULL size mattress on the large soft inner mattress.

After the first washing and air drying it did not appear that the cover shrank. Yet when we put the insert in the zipper failed. It would zip just so far so I used a safety pin across the zipper to stop it from going off track. It seems that their is a problem with the zipper. I would like to look into getting a replacement as well. Have you contacted anyone to see if replacement of the cover is viable?

I have this mattress, sorry I can't help you with this question. I have had my mattress for only a couple months and haven't had the need to wash the cover.

I just received a full mattress and other than a non-offensive and subtle "new" smell while unpacking it did not have any of the unpleasant odor that people have described. Mine came with a cover zippered on it, and I wonder if that might have perhaps reduced any chemical scent?

I have 4 legged babies (cats and dogs) so I actually enclosed it with zippered plastic mattress cover and then bought an awesome cover that is washable. I wanted to protect the Futon Mattress and this enables being able to change the dcor from time to time. The cover completely zips over the Futon mattress and is washable although so far - so good of not having any mishaps on it. This was an additional expense, but I plan to enjoy my Futon for some time.

I washed it without a problem. i had previously just washed the cover but needed to wash the entire thing.
