Why wool felt for the ZAUNKÖNIG® folding cushion?
Wool felt is lightfast, breathable, moisture-regulating, wrinkle-free, abrasion-resistant, dimensionally stable, insulating against heat and cold, sound-absorbing, odor-resistant, and improves indoor air quality. The fiber is 100% natural and renewable. A natural material that feels wonderful and is also easy to clean (just like overalls made of boiled wool or wool felt).
What does "mulesing-free" actually mean for virgin wool felt?
To meet the highest quality standards, we pay close attention to origin, purity, and animal welfare right from the fiber purchasing stage. We place particular emphasis on a transparent supply chain and long-term partnerships with our fiber suppliers. We expressly distance ourselves from the mulesing practice, which is primarily used in Australia to protect against flystrike. All our wool felts are made from 100% mulesing-free virgin wool.
Can the folding cushion be washed in the washing machine?
The folding cushion should not be washed in the washing machine, as the wool could be damaged by machine processing.
The cotton cushion can easily be hand-washed. After washing, the cotton folding cushion should be reshaped and air-dried.
Due to its structure, the felt cushion is relatively resistant to stains. The lanolin contained in the pure wool felt also gives it dirt-repellent properties. If necessary, the cushion can simply be brushed, and for heavier soiling, treated with warm soapy water.
How long does the folding cushion last?
With proper care, the ZAUNKÖNIG® folding cushion can last for many years. Wool felt and cotton are particularly robust and durable, so they retain their shape and functionality even with daily use. The natural longevity of the material ensures that the cushion provides comfort for extended periods and remains a faithful companion in everyday life.
