Washable Bolster Covers: Why You Need One

Quick answer

A washable bolster cover makes it easy to keep your prop clean and fresh without washing the entire bolster. It also lets you update your studio's look or extend the life of a well-loved cushion.

Frequently asked questions about washable bolster covers

Why should I buy a cover instead of washing the whole bolster?

Most bolsters have a polyfill or cotton fill that takes days to air-dry and can clump or lose shape when wet. A washable cover lets you clean the surface without damaging the fill. It also protects the bolster from sweat, oils, and dust between washes.

Can I use a cover to change my studio's color scheme?

Yes. Both the rectangular and round covers come in several color options. Swapping a cover is much cheaper and faster than buying a new bolster, especially if you redecorate or want to match a new class theme. Order a cover in your new color before retiring the old one—you can keep using the same bolster.

How do I know which cover fits my bolster?

Check the shape and dimensions of your bolster. The rectangular cover fits a standard rectangular bolster (often around 24 x 6 x 12 inches). The round cover fits a round bolster. If you are unsure, measure your bolster's length and diameter or width, then compare to the product description. Both covers have a full-length zipper for easy removal. Measure your bolster before ordering to ensure a snug fit.

How often should I wash the cover?

It depends on usage. For a personal home bolster, washing every 2–3 months is usually enough. For a studio or shared prop, wash every 1–2 weeks or whenever the cover looks or smells soiled. The 100% cotton covers hold up well to repeated machine washing.

Product facts

• Washable Cover for Round Cotton Yoga Bolster: 100% cotton cover with handles on both ends, same color options as the rectangular version. Fits the Supportive Round Yoga Bolster. Round bolsters are harder to find covers for, so having a dedicated washable option means you can keep a round prop just as clean as a rectangular one.
