How to Maintain Your CradleSloth™ Pillow for Years of Great Sleep

Your CradleSloth™ pillow is designed to deliver years of deep, restorative sleep — but a little care goes a long way in keeping it that way. With its ergonomic star-shaped design and antibacterial casein fiber, proper maintenance not only keeps it hygienic but also ensures it continues supporting your posture and recovery night after night.

Here’s your easy guide to keeping your pillow in its best condition:

🧴 1. Use the Provided Pillowcase (Machine Washable)

Your CradleSloth™ pillow comes with a custom-fit pillowcase that protects the antibacterial core from dust, sweat, and oils.

  1. Always keep the pillowcase on during use.
  2. Wash the case every 1–2 weeks for freshness.
  3. Avoid using tight or non-breathable covers that block airflow.

💡 Tip: The casein fiber cover naturally resists bacterial growth — but regular washing keeps it feeling crisp and cool.

🌤 2. Air It Out Regularly

Even with antibacterial properties, your pillow benefits from occasional airing.

  1. Once every two weeks, place it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
  2. This helps release trapped moisture and maintain its fluffy, responsive feel.

💡 Avoid placing it under harsh sunlight for long hours — it can affect the fiber elasticity.

🧼 3. Spot Clean PillowCore — (Don’t Machine Wash)

The CradleSloth™ pillow core isn’t made for machine washing. Instead:

  1. Use a clean, damp cloth and mild detergent to gently spot clean the surface.
  2. Let it air dry completely before use.
  3. Never soak, bleach, or tumble dry the core.

💡 If a spill happens, act quickly — gentle dabbing works better than rubbing.

🛏 4. Fluff It to Maintain Shape

Your pillow’s star-shaped design naturally rebounds after sleep, but you can help extend its lifespan by giving it a quick fluff every few days.

  1. Gently tap and press around the edges to redistribute the filling evenly.
  2. Avoid folding or compressing it for long periods (like during packing).

💡 Think of it like stretching for your pillow — it keeps its ergonomic structure intact.

📦 5. Store It Properly When Not in Use

If you’re rotating between multiple pillows:

  1. Store your CradleSloth™ pillow in a breathable storage space.
  2. Keep it in a cool, dry place — never sealed in plastic for long durations.

💡 Proper storage prevents odor buildup and keeps it free from dust and humidity.

🌙 Your Sleep Investment, Protected

Your CradleSloth™ pillow isn’t just another sleep accessory — it’s an investment in your daily recovery and well-being. With just a few minutes of care each month, you’ll enjoy years of deep, clean, and pain-free sleep.

Because great sleep doesn’t just happen — it’s maintained. 💛
