Using this lounge pillow is a breeze. Just place it on your bed, get yourself comfy against it, and you're all set to read, eat, or just relax. When using the arm rests, rest your arms gently on them to reduce strain. To keep it in top shape, avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could tear the cover. For cleaning, spot - clean the rayon from bamboo velour cover with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Don't put it in the washing machine or dryer as it may damage the cover and the shredded foam inside. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to prevent mold and mildew growth. With proper care, this pillow will provide you with long - lasting comfort.
