Keep the cushion for Bao & Gravity fresh and supportive with a simple cleaning routine, fit checks, and smart replacement timing.
Quick answer
Vacuum the cushion weekly, spot-clean stains promptly, and wash the removable cover according to its care label. Replace the cushion when the filling stays flattened after fluffing or the cover no longer fits securely.
Why the cushion deserves its own care routine
The cushion for Bao & Gravity is the part your cat touches most, so it collects fur, dander, and oils faster than the frame. A consistent routine protects the fabric and keeps the cushion comfortable enough that your cat keeps using the perch or cave.
Because the Bao cat tree uses removable fabric components, you can clean the cushion without dismantling the whole tree. That convenience only helps if you remove and reinstall the cushion correctly, which is why the steps below focus on fit as much as cleaning.
When cleaning is not enough
Cleaning restores freshness, but it cannot rebuild compressed filling. If your cat avoids a perch that used to be a favorite, or you can feel flat spots under your hand, the cushion is likely past cleaning. A replacement cushion is the practical fix, and it costs far less than replacing the entire cat tree.
Check the cover seams and any elastic or fastening points at the same time. A cover that has lost its shape will not sit smoothly even on a new cushion, so replace both if the fit feels loose.
Step-by-step cushion care
- Remove the cushion and vacuum both sides: Take the cushion out of the perch or cave and vacuum it on both sides with a brush attachment. Pay extra attention to seams and corners where fur collects. Checkpoint: if the cushion is difficult to remove, stop and confirm you have the correct cushion model before pulling.
- Spot-clean stains before washing: Blot fresh stains with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Work from the outside of the stain inward to avoid spreading it. Common mistake: scrubbing aggressively, which can push the stain deeper into the fabric.
- Wash only the removable cover: If your cushion has a removable cover, wash it according to its care label. Use a gentle cycle and avoid bleach unless the label explicitly allows it. Checkpoint: never machine-wash the filling unless the care label says it is safe to do so.
- Dry completely before reinstalling: Air-dry the cover fully, or use a low tumble setting if the label permits. Reinstall only when the cover and filling are completely dry. Common mistake: reinstalling a damp cushion, which can encourage odors and mildew.
- Check the fit after reinstalling: Press the cushion into the perch or cave and confirm it sits flat without bunching. The cover should feel snug but not stretched. Checkpoint: if the cushion slides or bunches, recheck that it is the correct replacement for your Bao or Gravity model.
- Replace when support is gone: Fluff the cushion by hand. If it stays flat or your cat avoids the spot, order a replacement cushion rather than adding extra bedding on top. New checkpoint: keep a note of your cat tree model so you can order the right cushion the first time.
