This item is fully washable in a washing machine and entirely made in Japan. The surface is a double gauze fabric that is gentle on the skin. The reverse side is fluffy pile fabric, allowing for reversible use. Furthermore, even those who are not accustomed to holding babies can find it easier to do so with this抱っこ布団 (cuddle cushion). Purchased from Baby R Us and used for several months. There are no noticeable stains, but there is some slight pilling, so please understand this before purchasing. Shipping may involve compression, so please be aware of this beforehand. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. dear BABY Washable Animal Cushion for Babies, Made in Japan, Animal Pattern, 100% Cotton - Color: White - Pattern: Animal print with letters - Material: 100% cotton - Filling: 100% polyester - Care instructions: Machine washable Thank you for viewing.
