First and foremost, choose a machine-washable fabric.
So that your cocoon camping chair would be both practical and comfortable, you should look for one made of both polyester and cotton.
These fabrics blend into a waterproof canvas which is mold-proof and appealing, and ensure that your luxurious camping addition will last longer.
Unhook all metal components from the chair, and make sure you can place it into the washing machine.
Even if most chairs are machine-washable, yours may not be compatible with the tumble dryer, so check whether this is the case before you’ve washed it.
Another thing to remember is that cocoon chair will spend a lot of time exposed to sunshine, so choose such that are 100% UV resistant.
