Quick answer
To replace the Bolstr Spare Outer Cover, unzip the old cover, remove the inner foam, slide the new cover over the foam, and zip it closed. The process takes about five minutes and requires no tools.
Why a snug fit matters
A properly fitted outer cover keeps the inner foam protected and prevents your dog from pawing or shifting the fabric. The Bolstr cover is designed with durable, water-resistant fabric that resists scratching, so a tight fit also helps maintain the bed's shape and extends its life.
When to replace the cover
Replace the cover when it shows signs of wear, such as thinning fabric, persistent odors, or stains that don't come out in the wash. Having a spare cover on hand lets you rotate them so the bed stays clean while one cover is in the laundry.
Step-by-step replacement
- Unzip the old cover completely: Lay the bed flat and unzip the outer cover along all seams. Remove the inner foam pad carefully so it doesn't tear. Common mistake: leaving the zipper partially closed can snag the new cover during removal.
- Slide the new cover over the foam: Open the new Bolstr Spare Outer Cover fully and insert the foam pad corner by corner. Smooth the fabric as you go to avoid bunching. Check that the foam is centered before zipping; an off-center pad creates wrinkles.
- Zip the cover closed: Starting from one end, zip the cover closed while holding the foam steady. Ensure the zipper track is clear of fabric to prevent jamming. If the zipper gets stuck, back it up slightly and pull the fabric away from the teeth before continuing.
- Smooth and adjust: Once zipped, run your hands over the cover to flatten any wrinkles and make sure the foam sits evenly inside. Check that the cover is taut but not stretched. A slightly loose cover will settle after a few hours of use; a tight cover may restrict foam loft.
