Understanding the Materials:
- Begin by familiarizing yourself with the materials used in your Align Pillow. Our pillows are crafted with natural latex, known for its resilience and durability. For Natural Latex, spot cleaning with a mild detergent and/or damp cloth is best. Natural latex can take some time to dry fully so it is not recommended to completely submerge or wet the pillow. The removable cover is made of Tencel fibre and is machine washable. We recommend using a gentle setting and do not tumble dry to preserve is soft and luxurious feel.

Spot Cleaning vs. Machine Washing:
- As mentioned above we recommend spot cleaning for your pillow wherever possible. The Align Pillow is resilient and naturally anti-microbial so should not need too much fuss. Gentle machine washing for the Tencel cover is perfectly fine and can be done as often as needed or whenever you like to wash your sheets.

Drying Techniques:
- Proper drying is crucial to prevent moisture retention and maintain the pillow's shape. Avoid direct sunlight as the UV rays can be damaging to natural latex. Place your pillow on a drying rack out of direct sunlight and give it time to dry fully. For the removable Tencel cover we recommend hanging to dry just as you would your bedsheets.
