Care of your Backpod
®
The Backpod
®
itself consists of a strong poly-
carbonate core (the transparent blue inner part)
with a cushioning synthetic rubber outer layer (the
flexible apple-green part). The inner core is sculpted
to stretch your spine when you lie back on the
Backpod
®
and the cushioning outer layer is there to
make this comfortable enough.
The Backpod
®
is immensely strong – we’ve driven
a BMW over one to test it for Europe and a Jeep
Cherokee to test it for the USA. The Backpod
®
was
fine both times. So we don’t think it’s going to break
when anyone lies on it, and we think it will last for
many, many years.
Any dust or fluff on the outer green layer can usually
be brushed or wiped off with a dry tea-towel or bath
towel. More resistant dust or fluff may need wiping
off with a warm, damp sponge or towel.
Any oils, such as massage oil or perspiration, should
be wiped off as the residue may reduce the life
of the green synthetic rubber outer layer. Use a
warm, damp sponge or towel, and also mild soap if
necessary.
Do not wash the Backpod
®
under a tap or submerge
it in a sink or basin – the internal core may fill up
with water.
Do not put the Backpod
®
in the microwave,
dishwasher, washing machine or oven.
Do not remove the flexible green outer layer of the
Backpod
®
as bending it backwards may possibly
cause internal cracks in the synthetic rubber.
Cracks on the inside of the green outer layer are not
grounds for return of the Backpod
®
because they can
only happen if the green layer is pulled off - don’t do
this.
