5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and hygiene of your Brookstone FLEX CURVE PILLOW.
5.1 Cleaning the Cover
- Locate the zipper on the pillow cover and carefully remove the memory foam insert.
- Machine wash the cover in cold water on a gentle cycle.
- Do not bleach.
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Ensure the cover is completely dry before reinserting the memory foam.
5.2 Cleaning the Memory Foam Insert
The memory foam insert itself is not machine washable. If the memory foam becomes soiled, spot clean it with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat before placing it back into the cover.
5.3 Storage
Store the pillow in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid compressing the memory foam for extended periods when not in use, as this may affect its shape retention.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pillow feels too firm or too soft. | Memory foam sensitivity to temperature; initial expansion not complete. | Allow the pillow to adjust to room temperature. If newly unpacked, allow more time for full expansion. |
| Pillow shifts during use. | Snap closure not secured; non-slip base not properly positioned. | Ensure the adjustable snap closure is fastened and tightened appropriately. Verify the non-slip base is in contact with the surface. |
| Unpleasant odor from pillow. | New product odor (common with memory foam); cover needs cleaning. | Allow the pillow to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours. Wash the pillow cover as per instructions. |
