Drift Home Hayden Filled Cushion - Blue - 43 x 43cm

The cushion features an envelope opening, which allows for the cover to be technically removed. However, the care instructions ('Sponge clean only') apply to the entire cushion, including the filling, making removal for separate washing generally not recommended for routine cleaning.

No, the Drift Home Hayden Filled Cushion should not be machine washed. The care instructions explicitly state 'Sponge clean only' to preserve the integrity of the recycled cotton weave and polyester filling.

OEKO-TEX® certification means that every component of this cushion, from the recycled cotton fabric to the threads, has been tested for harmful substances and found to be harmless for human health. It assures you that the product is safe and meets strict ecological standards.

The filling is 100% polyester. While polyester is generally considered a good option for allergy sufferers as it's less likely to harbor dust mites compared to natural fibers, specific hypoallergenic claims are not stated. The OEKO-TEX® certification indicates it's free from harmful chemicals.

To maintain its pristine condition, regularly fluff the cushion to retain its shape, promptly sponge clean any spills, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading. Always adhere strictly to the 'Sponge clean only', 'Line dry', and 'Do not iron' care instructions.

This cushion is designed and intended for indoor use. While it can temporarily be brought outdoors for short periods, it is not weather-resistant and should not be left exposed to moisture, rain, or prolonged direct sunlight.

Regularly fluff and gently pat the cushion to redistribute the polyester filling and restore its loft and plumpness. Rotating its position can also help maintain its form.

Promptly sponge clean the affected area using a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, pH-neutral detergent. Blot gently, do not rub vigorously, and then allow to line dry completely in a well-ventilated space.

While designed to be durable, prolonged and intense exposure to direct sunlight can cause textiles to fade. Try to position the cushion away from direct, strong sunlight when possible to preserve its vibrant blue hue.

Airing out the cushion in a well-ventilated area for a few hours can help. Ensure it is completely dry if it has been recently sponge cleaned. For persistent odors, a fabric refresher spray suitable for delicate textiles may be used, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
