MAXYOYO Folding Sofa Bed Maintenance & Storage Guide

Introduction: Keep Your MAXYOYO Sofa Bed Fresh and Functional
MAXYOYO folding sofa beds are beloved for their versatility, style, and everyday comfort. Whether you use yours for lounging, napping, gaming, or hosting guests, proper care and smart storage can help preserve its shape, cleanliness, and longevity. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about maintaining your sofa bed—from routine cleaning to folding and storage tips—so it stays fresh, fluffy, and ready for use all year round.

1. Cleaning Tips: How to Keep Your Folding Sofa Bed Spotless

A. Surface Cleaning for Everyday Use

Most MAXYOYO folding sofa beds feature removable and washable covers, which make cleaning a breeze. Here's how to clean them:

Corduroy Covers: Unzip and remove the cover. Machine wash on cold with mild detergent, and air dry. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.

Faux Fur or Plush Covers: Hand wash or use a gentle cold cycle. Air dry or tumble dry on low to protect the texture.

Spot Cleaning: For small spills or stains, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Gently dab—don’t rub—to avoid damaging the fabric.

B. Internal Foam Care

While the foam inside MAXYOYO sofa beds doesn’t require frequent cleaning, it’s a good idea to air it out occasionally. Simply remove the cover and leave the foam exposed in a well-ventilated room to refresh.

2. Ventilation: Let Your Sofa Breathe

Proper airflow helps prevent moisture buildup, mold, or odor—especially in humid environments.

Tips to Ventilate Your Sofa Bed:

Open windows during sunny days and let fresh air circulate the room.

If your home has poor ventilation, consider using a dehumidifier.

Every 2–3 weeks, unfold the sofa completely and let it air out for a few hours.

This process helps keep the foam structure dry and prevents unpleasant smells from developing.

3. Mold Prevention: Best Practices

Mold can be a problem when fabric furniture is stored in dark or damp conditions. Here’s how to prevent it:

Always store your sofa bed dry. Make sure the fabric and foam are 100% dry before folding or storing.

Use a breathable dust cover. MAXYOYO offers dedicated storage bags that allow airflow while keeping dust out.

Avoid basements or unventilated closets. Choose a cool, dry place with good circulation.

4. Folding & Unfolding: How to Handle Your Sofa Bed

To maintain the structure and avoid premature wear, always follow the correct folding and unfolding steps.

How to Fold:

Flatten the sofa completely into bed mode.

Fold each panel neatly, following its original creases.

Align all parts and tuck in any loose fabric.

Secure using provided Velcro straps (if included), or place into the dust cover.

How to Unfold:

Remove from storage and gently lay it on a flat surface.

Let the foam breathe for a few minutes, especially if compressed for long.

Unfold each layer gradually and adjust the backrest or pillow sections if applicable.

Give the structure a light fluff to restore its original shape.

Pro Tip: If your sofa bed was stored for an extended period, it may take up to 24–72 hours to fully expand and regain optimal comfort.

5. Storage Suggestions: Where & How to Store Your MAXYOYO Sofa Bed

A. Short-Term Storage (Daily or Weekly Use)

If you're folding and storing frequently:

Place the sofa in a closet or under the bed.

Use a breathable dust-proof storage bag to protect from debris or pet hair.

Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the folded unit.

B. Long-Term Storage (Seasonal or Occasional Use)

If storing for months:

Clean the cover and air-dry everything fully.

Fold carefully to retain the sofa’s shape.

Store in a climate-controlled area, avoiding damp basements or attics.

Use a labeled storage bag to find it easily when needed.

6. Prolonging Lifespan: Additional Tips

Rotate folding positions. If you frequently fold the sofa the same way, try alternating the crease direction to avoid foam fatigue.

Don’t jump or stand on the sofa. While MAXYOYO sofas are durable, using them as trampolines may damage internal foam.

Use a base or mat. On rough surfaces like hardwood or cement, place a rug or mat underneath to avoid friction or staining on the base.
