Learn the correct way to wash and maintain your body pillow cover. Follow these simple steps to keep your adjustable body pillow cover fresh, clean, and long-lasting.

Quick Answer

To wash your body pillow cover, remove the cover from the inner liner and pillow fill, then machine wash the cover on a gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry on low heat and avoid bleach or fabric softener to preserve the fabric's breathability and softness.

Why Proper Care Matters for Your Body Pillow Cover

Your body pillow cover does more than just look good — it protects the inner fill from dust, oils, and daily wear. The Original Adjustable Body Pillow from Coop Sleep Goods uses a super-breathable Lulltra™ cover (60% polyester, 40% bamboo-derived viscose rayon) that needs gentle care to stay soft and effective. Washing it correctly helps maintain its moisture-wicking properties and extends the life of the entire pillow system.

What You'll Need

Before you start, gather a mild liquid detergent (free of bleach and fabric softener), cold water, and a low-heat dryer setting or a drying rack. The Lulltra™ cover is machine washable, but using the wrong detergent or high heat can damage the bamboo-rayon blend and reduce breathability.

Step-by-Step Washing Instructions

Remove the Cover from the Inner Liner: Unzip the outer cover and take out the inner liner that holds the fill. This prevents the fill from clumping or shifting during the wash. Common mistake: washing the entire pillow with the fill inside can ruin the adjustable fill and void the warranty.
Pre-Treat Stains (If Needed): Spot-clean any visible stains with a small amount of mild detergent and cold water before putting the cover in the machine. Gently rub the fabric, then rinse. Checkpoint: avoid using bleach or stain removers with harsh chemicals — they can discolor the bamboo-rayon blend.
Machine Wash on Gentle Cycle with Cold Water: Place the cover in the washing machine. Select the gentle or delicate cycle and use cold water. Add a small amount of mild liquid detergent — no fabric softener or bleach. Common mistake: hot water can shrink the cover, and fabric softener can clog the breathable fibers, reducing airflow.
Dry on Low Heat or Air Dry: Tumble dry the cover on the lowest heat setting, or hang it to air dry. Remove it promptly from the dryer to minimize wrinkles. Checkpoint: high heat can damage the bamboo-rayon fibers. If you air dry, reshape the cover while damp to keep its fit.
Reassemble the Pillow: Once the cover is completely dry, zip it back over the inner liner. Adjust the fill to your preferred loft before using the pillow again. Next step: fluff the fill gently to redistribute it evenly inside the liner for consistent support.
