How to care for your pillow
Keep your memory foam pillow fresh and supportive for longer with a few simple habits.
Memory foam lasts well when it is looked after. These steps come from the care instructions for ZERO PILLOW products.
Wash the cover, not the foam
The outer cover is removable and machine washable. Wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, then air dry or tumble dry on low.
The memory foam core is spot clean only. Wipe it gently with a damp cloth and let it air dry completely. Never machine wash, hand wash, soak or submerge the core: moisture damages the foam’s structure and the support it gives.
Keep it out of the sun
Direct sunlight and heat degrade memory foam over time. Dry and store your pillow away from direct sun.
Store it well
When it isn’t in use, keep your pillow in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
Wash the cover regularly
Regularly washing the cover keeps the fabric fresh and clean against your skin, and protects the foam underneath.
Gel cushions
The ZERO Orthopedic Gel & Memory Foam Cushion has the same rules: wash the cover, spot clean the core, and keep it out of direct sunlight, which can make the gel layer overheat.
