How does it wash? Does the gel require any special detergent or care? Can you throw it in the dryer without a problem?

I live in an apartment that doesn't have a washer or dryer, so I send my laundry out. I had this mattress pad washed along with a giant load of sheets and towels and although I admit I was a little nervous -- commercial dryers tend to be really powerful -- it came back totally fine, still fits the bed without any problems. It helps that it's a little oversized to begin with. But still, it didn't lose any of its cushion in the washing/drying process, and it was thoroughly dry when I put it back on the bed, so....I'd say no worries!

I wash it with mild soap before and after use, and let it dry with air. So far everything is OK

This item can be machine washed in warm water. I let it air dry rather than put it in a dryer.

I haven't washer mine yet. When I do wash it, I'll put it in a bucket with cold water and some mild soap, and swish it around. Air dry. It'll be fine.

I've washed it a few times; after 5 or so wearings, I'd guess. I don't remember the washing instructions (and it's not close by), but I just throw it in with the normal laundry -- cold water wash/rinse, medium/low dry. I used regular detergent but no fabric softener as I use dryer balls. It came out good as new.

Sorry Norm - Never thought of washing it - when I have used it (winter) - I keep it in the back along w/ brush and 'sticky roller' - just a light fluffing, etc. and it is good as the day I bought it almost a year now - I myself would NOT recommend it, by try googling the company and ask - they might know - Sorry again for not having a most definitive ans. - james

I haven't used it much but, I have washed it once. I wash it by itself on regular load and I dry it on cool to medium heat. It came out good for me.... Good luck!

Wash it gently in washing machine, the dry on low in dryer. The directions come with the package.

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

I have washed mine in the washer, its just fine. Just make sure you spin cycle on a low speed. Also air dry (don't throw in the dryer)

I have washed it in the washer with warm/cold water, detergent and oxi cleaner. I dried it in the dryer on high heat. I washed and dried it with a towel load. It came out fine. It was hard to unsnap but that's probably good so that it doesn't come off unless you want it to.

I only used mine twice, and have not tried to wash it. I suppose if you did wash it, it would have to be hand washed. I definitely do not think you could put it in a dryer.

I sleep with the gel on. It will dry and it's not sticky so sleeping with it on is fine. I will of course wash it off in the morning.

Wash it all the time. Just use the soap that's left in it and a SMALL amount of Oxyclean or Boraxo. Hang dry or on Delicate in dryer.

I put it in the washer and dryer. I washed it in hot water (I have bad allergies), and dried on a regular setting, and it was fine.
