The material that covers the foam is super comfy and plush on a bare foot and has a zipper to remove for washing which i did yesterday and again this cover retained its form and quality after washing, Very happy with this purchase.1 thing to note, The foot rest does appear to be alot higher in seller photos than it actually is, For me this wasn't a problem, I think it measures in it 4 inches at height which works out perfect for me but in some of the seller photos they make it appear as if its 7 ot 8 inches high
