How to care for your Bedhead Cushion
Your Arlem Bedhead Cushion does not need much. A little regular care keeps it plump, and the linen looking like itself.
See the routineFluff it regularly
The insert is a plush microfibre fill. Do not be afraid to massage it. Work it with your hands, give it a firm shake, plump it from the edges towards the centre. Do this regularly and it will keep maximum plumpness, especially where you lean most.
It takes about 30 seconds. The cover sits better, and the bed looks made even when it is not.
Protect the insert
An Arlem Bedhead Cushion Protector is a simple zip-on layer to cover your Bedhead Cushion insert that sits under your Cushion cover. It keeps the cushion clean so you only need to wash the protector, not the cushion.
Spot clean spills quickly
Blot, never rub.
Coffee in bed happens. When it does, blot the spill with a clean, damp cloth. Do not rub. Rubbing pushes the liquid deeper into the linen and can spread the stain.
For anything more than water, add a tiny amount of mild detergent to your cloth. Work gently from the outside of the stain inward. If the mark is stubborn, test a fabric cleaner on the back of the cover first.
Wash the linen cover
Covers are removable and machine washable. Cold gentle wash, then line dry in shade or tumble dry low. Linen gets better with every wash.
The full steps, from unzipping to drying, live in the washing guide.
Storing your cushion
If you need to put your Bedhead Cushion away for a while, keep it in a cool, line-dry area.
A breathable fabric bag works well, or drape a clean sheet over it. Give it a good massage when you bring it back out, and it will bounce right back.
Care questions, answered
Regularly. Massage the plush microfibre fill, give it a firm shake, and work it back into shape. That is how it keeps maximum plumpness, especially where you lean most.

We recommend against it. Fabric protectors can change the feel of linen. Regular spot cleaning, washing the cover, and a Cushion Protector on the insert handle most things.
