Laundering Zippered Covers

All of our Mattresses and CustomFits have washable zippered covers. You should always sleep on a clean sleep surface. It’s the healthy thing to do. Of course, you should use a mattress protector. Waterproof mattress protectors are best. A zippered cover adds another level of protection in cleanliness.

Below are a few hints on how to clean your mattress cover.

Wash only the top part (the fabric you sleep on) of the mattress cover. It is likely only the top part needs to be laundered and the cover will clean better if it is the only thing in the load. Additionally, do not remove the fire retardant layer that is attached to the latex rubber.

Wash in warm or cold water

Use regular detergent. Be careful not to use harsh stain removers or bleach. Regular laundry detergent will remove most stains if treated according to stain type (proteins, etc)

Air-drying the cover is ideal. A second option is using you dryer at its lowest heat setting. Try not to over dry the cover.

Replacement covers are available if you may need one.
