How do I wash and care for my cervical memory foam pillow?

While the memory foam core should not be submerged in water, the removable cover can be easily washed at cover wash temp degrees of 30°C. Regular laundering helps maintain hypoallergenic, breathable freshness throughout the pillow lifespan of 2-3 years.
