The mattress has a removable cover you can tak off and wash. It just zips off and you throw it in the washer.

anoninpdx, I've used an enzyme cleaner on the bed and covered with a warm cloth to active. After allowing to set a few hours, I blotted the mattress and allowed to air dry for a day. Worked great and never had any odors.

the tempurpedic people say absolutely never DO NOT use liquid of any kind to clean the mattresses, this can cause bacteria to grow, the material should never get wet if at all possible, if it does, they recommend baking powder or other dry cleansers (powder form) and vacuum off to clean the bed... this includes water since the bed is a giant sponge and soaks up whatever gets on it, it does not "come out". the more liquid gets in the more the mattress is compromised for breeding ground for allergens and bacteria. If liquids do get on the mattress they recommend ONLY towel pressure and blotting to get it out, then air dry and cover with baking soda to neutralize then vacuum off the baking soda. (we finally bought the waterproof breathable mattress cover- problem solved- it can be cleaned in washer) -
