Frequently Asked Questions
What makes our bed different?
The Birchwood & Bark bed is a revolutionary eco-friendly, luxury pet bed designed to simplify your life. Unlike traditional beds, ours is completely laundry-free, saving you time and effort.
Its high-density foam and memory foam provides unparalleled comfort and support, while the synthetic waterproof coating ensures easy maintenance. Plus, our disposable Eco-Covers are a breeze to replace, reducing waste and keeping your pet's bed fresh and hygienic. It's the perfect combination of luxury, convenience, and sustainability.
Is the Birchwood & Bark bed truly laundry-free?
Yes, the Birchwood & Bark bed is designed to be laundry-free. Its outer layer is made of a durable, waterproof material that can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Additionally, the removable, disposable Eco-Cover can be quickly replaced, eliminating the need for frequent washing of the entire bed. This means less time cleaning, and more time enjoying your furry friend.
What cleaning products are safe to use on the bed?
Here are some specific cleaning product suggestions:
A gentle solution of mild soap and warm water is ideal for regular cleaning.
Use a 10% bleach solution for tougher stains. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive tools to preserve the bed.
Remember to simply replace the Eco-Cover with a new one when it becomes soiled.
How durable is the synthetic waterproof coating?
The synthetic waterproof coating used on the Birchwood & Bark bed is designed to withstand the most demanding pets. It's highly resistant to abrasion, UV light, and moisture, ensuring your pet's bed stays protected and comfortable for years to come.
How does the Birchwood & Bark bed protect against allergies?
Our Birchwood & Bark bed was designed with allergy sufferers in mind. The synthetic waterproof coating acts as a barrier, preventing dust mites, bacteria, and environmental allergens from penetrating the surface. Additionally, the disposable Eco-Covers trap hair and dirt, further minimizing the accumulation of allergens.
By choosing a Birchwood & Bark bed, you provide your furry friend with a healthier and more comfortable sleeping environment.
How many people throw away their dog's bed each year?
It's shocking to think that approximately 45.5 million dog beds are disposed of annually in the U.S. alone, contributing to a staggering 637 million pounds of waste. This staggering number is primarily due to the frequent replacement of traditional dog beds due to wear and hygiene concerns. At Birchwood & Bark, we're committed to making a difference. Our durable construction and replaceable, compostable Eco-Covers significantly extend the lifespan of our beds, minimizing your environmental impact.
Can I use the Birchwood & Bark bed without the disposable sheets?
While our Birchwood & Bark bed can be used without the disposable Eco-Covers, we highly recommend using them for optimal comfort, hygiene, and longevity. The Eco-Covers are designed to capture hair, dirt, and allergens, ensuring a cleaner and healthier sleeping environment for your pet. Using them also significantly reduces the need to wipe down the bed itself, saving you time and effort.
Are the Birchwood & Bark sheets compostable?
Yes, the Birchwood & Bark sheets are designed to be eco-friendly and compostable. They break down in approximately 65 days under the right composting conditions.
For effective composting, it's important to maintain a proper balance of carbon-rich materials (browns) and nitrogen-rich materials (greens), along with sufficient moisture and air. The sheets' biodegradable elastic can either be removed before composting or left on, although it may take longer to decompose than the sheets themselves.
Here are some tips for successful composting:
Balance Your Browns and Greens: Include a mix of browns like dry leaves or shredded paper and greens like food scraps or grass clippings.
Maintain Moisture: Your compost should be moist like a wrung-out sponge. Adjust by adding water or dry materials as needed.
Turn Your Pile: Regularly turning your compost helps to aerate it, speeding up the decomposition process.
Check Temperature: A well-maintained compost pile can reach temperatures of 130° to 160°F, which helps to break down materials efficiently.
By following these practices, you can ensure that your compost decomposes effectively and provides a nutrient-rich amendment to your garden soil.
Can the Birchwood & Bark sheets be washed?
While the Birchwood & Bark Eco-Covers are technically washable, we recommend using them as disposable covers for optimal convenience and hygiene. But if you prefer to wash the sheets, typically, you may get 1 to 2 washes out of a sheet before a new one is needed.
To maximize the lifespan of your Birchwood & Bark bed, we recommend using the disposable Eco-Covers and replacing them as needed. By using them, you can save yourself the time and hassle of washing and drying them. Plus, you'll ensure a fresh and clean sleeping environment for your furry friend.
How often should I change my Birchwood & Bark covers?
For optimal hygiene and comfort, we recommend changing the Eco-Covers every 2 weeks, depending on your pet's lifestyle and activity level. If you notice any signs of wear or tear, such as pilling or rips1, it's time for a fresh Eco-Cover. By regularly replacing the Eco-Covers, you can maintain a clean and comfortable space for your furry friend.
Are the disposable Eco-Covers safe for my pet?
Absolutely. The Eco-Covers are made from eco-friendly materials without harsh chemicals, ensuring they are safe for direct contact with your pet.
Do the disposable Eco-Covers fit all sizes of the Birchwood & Bark beds?
Yes, our disposable Eco-covers are designed to fit all standard sizes of our beds, ensuring a snug and secure fit for effective protection and ease of use.
What should I do if a disposable Eco-cover is damaged upon arrival?
Don't worry! If your disposable Eco-Cover arrives with a tear or other damage, please let us know right away. We'll happily send you a replacement at no extra cost. We want to make sure you have the best possible experience with our products.
Do you offer free shipping?
