does the lining inside detach and bunch up in lumps after washing? my current synthetic (upside: water proof) bag is a nightmare after having been washed. it is paper thin in most parts, and lumpy in others--completely useless. the last time I slept on it I was shivering and miserable from the lack of protection. : ( I realize this bag is not synthetic and is quite heavy, but how does it continue to perform over time and many washings? does the lining inside hold up? (thank you for any help you can give me. this bag is an investment ($$), and I appreciate the help). cheers. does the lining inside detach and bunch up in lumps after washing? my current synthetic (upside: water proof) bag is a nightmare after having been washed. it is paper thin in most parts, and lumpy... » Read More does the lining inside detach and bunch up in lumps after washing? my current synthetic (upside: water proof) bag is a nightmare after having been washed. it is paper thin in most parts, and lumpy in others--completely useless. the last time I slept on it I was shivering and miserable from the lack of protection. : ( I realize this bag is not synthetic and is quite heavy, but how does it continue to perform over time and many washings? does the lining inside hold up?

Dry clean is the best bet ,it is very large and won't fit in most washers. Works great if your using it for really cold weather but really hot otherwise.

I believe since this bag is a heavier canvas and cotton inside it should hold up extremely well. I love mine and you shouldn't have to wash this one often. When you do have to wash it; you will want to go old school and air dry it, not machine dry, to avoid the bad lumping of the insulation. Good Luck and hope this helps.

I had a U pillow for over 10 years and I loved it. Unfortunately it started to lose it shape and I needed to replace it. I ordered this Comfort U Ttl body pillow months ago and already I find that the way I use it while sleeping (resting my arm & my leg over it every night) the stuffing inside the pillow is starting to get soft. My first pillow lasted a long time before that occurred but the way this pillow is holding up it will never last 10 years. Perhaps not even 2 years. i love the pillow, I love the concept, its just that the material used inside seems to be going flat way too soon for what I spent on the pillow. Hope this helps.

I personally have not laundered it as of yet, but I'm sure in a garment bag on light wash and cold water, it would be OK. Or you can probably hand wash and lay on towel to dry. Good Luck and hope it works out for you.

I didn't wash it and took it on an overnight camping trip and it was fine for me. I'm always weary of machine washing sleeping bags anyhow. But I'm sure there are cleaning instructions on the tag, I just haven't needed to wash mine yet.

Maybe the quality in production has gone down. Over the years the quality of mine is still like new(taken good care of it), almost bought another one recently. I love my bag. The price and temp. rating, but I've also read mixed reviews. Don't forget a sleeping pad! It will make a huge difference in your comfort and keep you warmer. I think many of the bad reviews may have forgotten this and blame the bag. You loose body heat to the cold ground. I hope this helps!!

They do say machine washable and dry-able, HOWEVER.... I tried in a bag and out... the only complaint I have is both ways, the sample group , (I only used about 5-7 snowballs, some in and out of a secured pillow case ), is that they lose that crunchy feel they have. After this result the rest I just refreshed in the dryer without wetting them, (so far only indoor play), and they came out perfect. I haven't tried hand washing and air drying yet, but plan on giving it a try soon. Certainly they all remained in action and the kids seem to love them no matter what they feel like. I hope that helps some. They do say machine washable and dry-able, HOWEVER....

I believe the small tag (which I cut off) says to spot clean it. I washed it on delicate with cold water with no major issues. The colors after awhile will fade if you wash it frequently and maybe the rings will lose a bit of shape as the stuffing might settle. Again, I have washed mine with no trouble.

Yes, As a matter of fact, I just washed it in my normal size washing machine and it came out great. I then threw a few tennis balls in the dryer to help keep the filling distributed evenly while drying it and it is just as fluffy as when I first opened it up in it's original packaging. I hope this helps. BTW my extra large dogs lay on it and love it as well! :&gt;)

I never had any spots inside the bag. But if I had to wash it I would just turn it inside out and either spray with a cleanser or wash with dish detergent until spots are gone. Everytime I finish using the bananas I turn the bag inside out and let it air dry before using it again as it sometimes is moist inside.

Not at all! I have washed mine at least five times and its as good as when I took it out of the bag. I know what you mean when you ask the question, especially after you wash it. Well worth the money. Take the chance, you will not be disappointed.

can not be removed I use a sheet and lay on top of it and after the camp trip i wash the sheet. I attached the sheet with heavy duty velcro to the bag then it wont move on me. I have not washed the bag yet i imagine you have to bring it to a dry cleaner that's why i use the sheet makes it easier on me. If you have the room leave the bag unpacked its better in my opinion the the fibers don't get crushed all year. Just came back from a fly fishing trip to the fly waters of the north umpqua weather was cold but i was warm all night.

It is durable and I wash it every week since i use it to sleep in. it is fine after washing. Simple washing instructions are provided. Sorry I did not see the email sooner. I am very happy with all of the earthing products I have gotten. I hope you enjoy the bag. I have also used it with people that are recovering from ailments.

I t is a strong mess type material so there is no shape to it but the one you make. I set it on the ground every time I shower and never has it tipped on me. I have shampoo, conditioner, lotion, baby oil, body soap, hair oil facial cream all in the outer pockets. don't know if because i have so much it keeps it sturdy. never has tipped and i have no worry of the handle breaking. lost several hooks cause my bag is so heavy but no worries about the bag tearing.

Yes, never had bag leak either. Dispose of the bag(s), but keep the boxes and contact the manufacturer. I'm sure they will reimburse you or send more or something. The top part of the item is supposed to attract moisture, then the water collects in the bottom part. Nothing is supposed to come out of the bag.

Sorry. The inside get wired after some washes, but don't look bad. Afyer a year, I've replaced the filler and I've put very much inside. So it doesn't get wired when I wash it.

Love to help you SweetieBee but like you-I only bought the tea pot-I didn't manufacture it. This is a feature of Amazon that annoys me no end. Instead of contacting other purchasers they should take this question to the source for what it's worth I've had this tea pot for about a year have left water inside frequently - and have no problems with it. The lining is probably some type of protectant

The plastic like lining to the interior of the pillow cover will absolutely keep any feathers from coming out through this cover. It would also keep any dust or other detritus from coming in contact with you while sleeping. I am still using and satisfied completely with this cover. By extension, I would never use any pillow without a "sanitary" over-cover on the pillow. I have not washed it yet but will not put it in the dryer as I am afraid the dryer might damage the interior lining. That's OK as I only wash the over-cover "so often" as it is protected by the pillow case which is changed regularly.Hope this helps. Please ask if you have further questions.
