How to Keep Your DakiFlex Adjustable Bolster Clean and Fresh

Washing Instructions, Maintenance Tips & Why DakiFlex is Built to Last

Let’s be honest — your bolster probably goes through more than you think. It’s your cuddle buddy, side sleeper support, post-lunch nap prop, emotional support log… and sometimes, it might even double as a snack holder (oops). That’s why keeping your DakiFlex Adjustable Bolster clean and fresh isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through:

Why it’s worth investing in a bolster that’s actually built to support you

Why Cleaning Your Bolster Matters

You wouldn’t go months without washing your bedsheets (we hope). So why let your bolster collect sweat, dust, skin cells, and invisible allergens? Regular maintenance keeps it:

Hygienic 🧼
Smelling fresh 🌸
Supportive and comfortable 😴
Safe for sensitive skin and kids 👶

Unlike basic cotton-stuffed bolsters, the DakiFlex uses high-quality shredded memory foam (AoYuki Flex Cubes, to be exact), which not only provides ergonomic support — it’s also hypoallergenic and certified safe.

But like any premium item, it needs a little care in return.

Step-by-Step Washing Instructions for DakiFlex

Let’s break it down into two parts: the outer cover and the inner foam fill.

🧺 1. Washing the Outer Cover (Yes, it’s removable!)

How to:

Unzip the cover from your DakiFlex bolster.
Machine wash it on gentle cycle with cold water.
Use mild detergent — no bleach or fabric softeners needed.
Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

✅ Pro tip: Wash your cover every 2–3 weeks, especially if you’re a hot sleeper or live in humid weather (hello, Singapore).

🚫 2. What About the Foam Inside?

Good question. The inner foam filling is not washable like regular stuffing — but that’s because it’s made of certified memory foam, designed to be breathable and odor-resistant.

How to care for the foam:

Do not soak or machine wash the inner foam.
If there’s a spill, do a spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Allow it to air dry completely before zipping it back into the cover.
You can also leave it under a fan or in a shaded (not sunny!) area for freshness.

✅ Pro tip: Once a month, unzip the cover and fluff the foam manually to maintain shape and airflow.

Bonus Tips to Keep It Feeling Like New

Rotate the bolster weekly to distribute wear evenly.
Use a pillow mist or fabric spray for a spa-like touch (choose something natural and hypoallergenic).
Store it in a breathable bag when not in use — avoid plastic covers that trap moisture.
If you have pets (especially cats!), consider a pet-friendly pillowcase layer for extra protection.

Why Customers Love DakiFlex (and What Makes Us Different)

Here’s where DakiFlex stands out in a sea of bolsters:

Unlike traditional bolsters that are one-size-suffocate-all, DakiFlex lets you add or remove foam to get your perfect loft. Whether you're petite, tall, side-sleeping, or hugging for emotional support, your bolster adjusts to YOU.

❄️ 2. Cooling & Breathable

Filled with AoYuki Flex Cube foam (designed to stay cool), and covered with breathable mesh fabric, this isn’t your grandma’s bulky bolster. It helps regulate temperature — a lifesaver in Singapore's tropical heat.

And the cherry on top?
We don't just sell bolsters — we build comfort solutions that grow with you.

Common Questions: Quick FAQ

Q: How often should I clean my DakiFlex bolster?

A: We recommend washing the outer cover every 2–3 weeks. The inner foam should be spot cleaned only when needed and aired regularly.

Q: Can I use a regular pillowcase on top?

A: Yes! Just make sure it’s breathable. A thin bamboo or cotton cover works best to preserve airflow.

Q: Will the foam flatten over time?

A: Not likely. The shredded memory foam maintains loft much longer than traditional cotton or polyester filling. And if it ever feels too soft? Just add back some foam.

TL;DR – How to Keep Your DakiFlex Clean:

✅ Machine wash the outer cover (gentle cycle)
❌ Do not wash the foam — spot clean only
✅ Fluff it regularly
✅ Air it out once a month
✅ Sleep better knowing it's clean, safe, and comfy
