Maintenance Tips    

• Clean cover regularly with mild soap and water or approved disinfectant wipes to maintain hygiene.
• Avoid soaking or machine washing to protect foam and gel integrity.
• Inspect cushion surface and seams for tears, punctures, or compression breakdown.
• Ensure gel core remains evenly distributed and not displaced or hardened.
• Check for loss of support or flattening that may indicate foam fatigue.
• Keep away from sharp objects and excessive heat to prevent damage to materials.
• Allow cushion to air dry fully after cleaning before reuse to prevent moisture buildup.
• Store flat in a cool, dry environment to preserve shape and pressure-relief performance.
