Setting up your Snuggler dog bed is simple. Follow these steps to get everything fitted and ready for its first nap. <h2 id="step-1-unpack-and-expand-the-base-cushion">Step 1: Unpack and expand the base cushion</h2>Remove the vacuum-sealed base cushion (foam) from its packaging and let it expand.The liquid-resistant lining comes pre-installed over the foam, so there&#x2019;s no need to remove or adjust it. <h2 id="step-2-fit-the-base-cover">Step 2: Fit the base cover</h2>Fit the fabric base cover over the expanded base cushion, making sure the corners and edges sit neatly in place.The side with the anti-slip bottom lining should face the floor. This helps keep the Snuggler dog bed in place while your dog settles in. <h2 id="step-3-set-up-the-topper">Step 3: Set up the topper</h2>Take the topper, which includes the top cushion mat and raised-edge sections.Insert each padded raised-edge insert into its matching section of the topper. Make sure each insert is sitting fully inside its section, then close the zips to secure them. <h2 id="step-4-attach-the-topper-to-the-base">Step 4: Attach the topper to the base</h2>Place the assembled topper over the base cushion.Line up the matching hook-and-loop straps on the topper and base cover, then press them together firmly to secure the two pieces.Give the topper a quick check to make sure it&#x2019;s sitting evenly all the way around. <h2 id="step-5-ready-set-snooze">Step 5: Ready, set, snooze</h2>That&#x2019;s it. Find your dog&#x2019;s favourite spot, put their Snuggler dog bed down and let them handle the rest.Serious napping may commence.<hr> <h2 id="isPasted">Need to clean your Snuggler dog bed?</h2>Accidents happen. The good news is you don&#x2019;t always need to wash the entire bed.The Snuggler dog bed is made up of removable components, so you can clean only the part that needs attention. Simply reverse the installation steps:<ol data-spread="false" start="1"><li>Remove the topper from the base by separating the hook-and-loop straps.</li><li>Open the zips on the topper and remove the raised-edge inserts if needed.</li><li>Remove the fabric cover from the base cushion.</li></ol>Once cleaned, allow the components to dry completely before putting everything back together.For detailed cleaning instructions and care tips, see our <a href="https://comfortworks.gorgias.help/en-US/how-to-clean-and-care-for-your-snuggler-dog-bed-8409781" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Snuggler dog bed care guide</a>.

Mud, fur, drool, mysterious wet patches... life with dogs happens.The good news? You don&apos;t need to wash the entire Snuggler every time something gets dirty. Its removable parts mean you can clean only the part that needs attention. <h2 id="first-work-out-what-needs-cleaning">First, work out what needs cleaning</h2>Start with the mess itself and only go deeper if you need to:<table style="margin-right: calc(-5%); width: 105%;"><thead><tr><th style="width: 24.5973%;">What&apos;s dirty?</th><th style="width: 75.2554%;">What to clean</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="width: 24.5973%;">Fabric cover only</td><td style="width: 75.2554%;">Remove and clean the affected cover</td></tr><tr><td style="width: 24.5973%;">Topper</td><td style="width: 75.2554%;">Remove the topper and take out the bolster inserts before cleaning</td></tr><tr><td style="width: 24.5973%;">Bolster inserts</td><td style="width: 75.2554%;">Wash the whole bolster with the batting inside and the zip fully closed.

The different parts need different types of care.The rule of paw: start with the affected layer. There&apos;s no need to clean the layers underneath if they&apos;re still clean and dry.&#xA0; <h2 id="isPasted">How do I take the Snuggler apart for cleaning?</h2>It&apos;s basically the installation process in reverse:<ol start="1"><li>Separate the topper from the base by pulling apart the hook-and-loop straps.</li><li>Open the zips on the topper and remove the raised-edge (bolster) inserts, if they need to come out.</li><li>Remove the fabric base cover if needed.</li><li>If you need to clean the base foam, remove its liquid-resistant lining first.</li></ol>For a refresher on how everything fits together, see <a href="https://comfortworks.gorgias.help/en-US/how-to-install-your-snuggler-dog-bed-covers-8408353" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">How to install your Snuggler dog bed</a>.Your installation guide uses this same removal sequence and notes that all components should be completely dry before the bed is put back together.&#xA0; <h2 id="isPasted">How do I clean the fabric covers and topper?</h2>Wash and care instructions vary by fabric, so check our <a href="https://comfort-works.com/en-gl/pages/fabric-warranty" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fabric Care &amp; Warranty guide</a> for the correct instructions.If only one part is dirty, just clean that part. There&apos;s no need to strip down the whole bed for one muddy paw print. <h2 id="isPasted">How do I wash the bolster inserts?</h2>The bolsters should always be washed as one complete piece, with the batting inside.<ol start="1"><li id="isPasted">Remove the bolsters from the topper.</li><li>Keep the zips fully closed. Do not remove the batting.</li><li>Machine wash the whole bolster on a warm, durable-press cycle.</li><li>Tumble dry on a low, normal cycle. Once completely dry, give it a good fluff to help restore its shape.</li></ol>Do not unzip the bolsters or remove the batting for washing. The bolster casing uses the same liquid-resistant material as the base lining and is designed to be washed together with its filling.Avoid bleach and excessive heat. <h2 id="isPasted">How do I clean the base foam?</h2>Only clean the foam base if a spill or accident has reached it.<ol start="1"><li id="isPasted">Remove the performance cover and liquid-resistant lining.</li><li>Clean the affected area with a mild soapy solution.</li><li>Rinse thoroughly with clean running water, such as in a bath or shower.</li><li>Leave the foam to air-dry completely before reassembling the bed.</li></ol>Do not machine wash or tumble dry the foam base. <h2 id="isPasted">How do I clean the liquid-resistant lining?</h2>For the foam base only: Remove the liquid-resistant lining only from the foam base.&#xA0;Do not unzip or remove any lining or batting from the bolsters.Machine wash the foam base lining on a&#xA0;warm, durable-press cycle or delicate cycle.Drip-dry in the shade and allow it to dry completely before putting it back on.&#xA0;<h2 id="isPasted">One last tip while your Snuggler is being washed</h2>Keep the foam base and bolsters somewhere your dog can&apos;t reach while the Snuggler is taken apart for cleaning.Apart from avoiding an unexpected chew toy situation, pet-related damage to uncovered components isn&apos;t covered by the Snuggler warranty.Once everything is clean, dry and back together, it&apos;s ready to return to its regularly scheduled napping duties.
