How do I clean a Tempur-Pedic (memory foam) mattress and pillow?
Question:I have a Queen size memory foam mattress and pillow, both under the brand name Tempur-Pedic. They're great, but I find I'm having difficulty cleaning them ... for example, the cat threw up a hairball on the mattress the other day, and I could spot-clean the stain with Lysol, water/soap and Febreeze, but I don't think that was sanitary enough.
With the pillow, I was told by the salesperson you can't wash it in the washer/dryer, but what are you supposed to do freshen it up (obviously, I change and wash the pillowcases frequently)? For now, I'm putting talcum powder and/or Febreeze on it, but that doesn't seem to really be hygenic. Any suggestions on how to clean it?
Thanks!

I told my sister to do this and it worked: Wash it outside by hand with a hose and some kind of soap that does not contain oils and that is not strong. My sister used her leftover bubble bath and it worked great. It will take a couple of days to sun dry but the sun is a natural disinfectant too. I would try to hang them so it can drip dry also.
Good luck and happy cleaning!!

You should have any memory foam product covered with a waterproof covering that you can launder. Otherwise, you void your warranty.
Around the world a number of companies produce tempur mattress. For example we Tempure Pedic Memory Foam Mattress. It is a Swedish designed mattress tempur.
