Has anyone actually removed the cover and washed it? I have had the mattress for 10 months and was wondering if it would be ok if I could or not.

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 have owned this bed for several years and taken the cover off to wash it many times. Its easy to do and it has held up perfectly.

I just washed ours a couple of days ago at the laundromat (we have the 40-inch bed). Tumble dried it for a while, then left it out in the sun. Seems pretty much good as new. (Although a removable cover would've really been ideal, but whatever.)

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?

No. At least mine cannot be removed. I bought another cover and put it on top of it and that's the one i take out and wash. Hope this helps

You don't need to wash the cover before using. Yes, you can machine wash. I didn't put in the dryer since I was afraid it might shrink. It's on my sleeper sofa that I think is just a double.

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 can't wash it. You pin the pad to the mattress with the included safety pins and then you put a Blanket on top of it.

You can easily take off the cover and wash it. I have done it twice already.

Lenora, I bought the same mattress. Please clarify your question. I bought the protective cover for the mattress to keep it from getting stained.

I washed and dried my mattress cover before putting it on the bed for the first time and I have not had an issue with any type of bad "smell" coming from it. It does not move around on my mattress...it fits perfectly and the stretchy sides keep it in place. I am very pleased with this mattress cover.

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.

Yes, it is. However, I do not know why you would want to do that. It has got a zipper, that is not the problem. But, How are you going to get the mattress back into that cover after you wash it? This is an excellent product, but is it not a permanent bed. What we do is but a nice fitting sheet on them. We have three of them.

Good questions Joan. No I don't have that problem. I've been happy with it. It fits over my deep sized mattress and has stood up with multiple washings. I think you'd be happy with it.

I have unbuttoned it and cleaned it with a wet rag and soap then line dried it seemed to be ok. Would not recommend putting it in wash machine the bottom is made of plywood but I do love it

thast a personal thing if you want to air it out often or not. I have added extra mattress covers for added softness and protection. When I have to wash things I remove everything to keep clean.

There is a zippered cover on the mattress, but it would be difficult to remove to wash. I bought a slip on cover that comes off easily to wash and keep the one that comes with it clean.

I have not had to clean it yet. The sheet goes on top of it, so while I wash the sheets I have not washed this mattress cover.
