Cover
Toss It Cover
* The top fabric of the Toss-It is 80% cotton and 20% polyester for absorbency with a Poly Urethane backing for waterproofing and breathability
* The bottom fabric is a standard non-slip stitch bond.
* The top fabric of the Toss-It is able to absorb as much as 8 ounces of liquid in approximately 4 minutes. The polyurethane backing prevents liquid from seeping through the cover but with microscopic holes, allows for heat and air to freely pass through
* Stretch fabric to retain pressure relieving function
* Zip closure
* When fitting the cover, make sure the fuzzy side is over the top of the cushion as this is the absorbent and stretchy side of the Toss-It.
