Q. How do you wash the mattress
A. Stimulite® honeycomb can be hand laundered or machine washed in
cold water, using a gentle cycle. Use only a small amount (~1 TBSP)
of mild detergent. DO NOT USE CHLORINE BLEACH. After washing, shake
the honeycomb to remove excess water and then either let it air dry
or tumble dry on low heat in the dryer. Do not dry honeycomb with
wet clothes as this causes heat retention which can damage the
honeycomb. Use front load washers only as agitator can damage
honeycomb
