Using your Hema Starfish Throw Pillow is a breeze. Just place it on your couch, chair, or bed to instantly add a coastal touch to your space. During shipping, pillows often flatten, but don't worry. First, unpack the pillow and gently knead it with your hands. This will start to loosen the fibers inside. Next, put the pillow in the dryer on a low tumble setting. To get it really fluffy, toss in a sock stuffed with a tennis ball. The ball will 'beat' the pillow as it tumbles. Once it's nice and fluffy, take it out of the dryer. Remember, this pillow can only be dry - cleaned. Avoid washing it in a regular washing machine to keep it in great shape for a long time. Enjoy your beautiful and cozy throw pillow!
