Using this comforter is a breeze. Just spread it out on your extra - deep mattress, and you're ready to enjoy a cool and comfortable sleep. When it comes to maintenance, simply throw it in the washing machine as it's machine washable. But here are a few things to keep in mind. Don't use bleach or harsh detergents as they might damage the fabric. Also, avoid over - drying. Once it's dry, give it a good shake to fluff up the filling. This will keep the comforter in great shape and ensure you can enjoy its cooling and comfortable features for a long time.
