Anyone had a problem with the fabric shedding either before, during or after washing? How thick is the 21x12?

I've washed mine once, and I didn't have any shedding problem. It's all pretty secure. I don't know how thick the smaller one is, but I can say that they are all very thin. If you're looking for plush, look at other ones. If I didn't have soft carpet underneath, I wouldn't have kept it.

I've washed it twice according to directions (cold water; gentle cycle). No shredding whatsoever!

No problems here. We have been using it about a year and a half. Do you use any fabric softners or scented dryer sheets?

I have washed and dried mine twice. It did shrink some the first time, I only partially dried it and then finished with line drying. It may shrink more if you completely machine dry. Note that it is longer than wide so striped run wide way. I LOVE this spread personally.

I washed it once and only had minimal shedding...less than comes off of my own head! But, eventually, if you wash it enough I'd think you see thinning since it can't grow back!

I've washed it three times since we bought it and it holds up well. No shrinking which is what my main concern was

Hi Diana, I don't recall any problems with shedding with the 3 we own. I would suggest keeping them for the 30 day money back period and evaluate then. Ours were purchased many years ago and are still like new. I have never had any complains about the quality as other reviewers of most recent time seem to have reported. I wonder if the quality has decreased? One thing to know thought is that the ones we have are the Snuggfleece Original, not the more economy version.

I had to take it to a commercial laundry mat to wash it. It very thick & heavy. But so far I have had no problems with it unraveling or tearing up in the wash. I only dried it to damp and then left it out overnight to dry completely. We love it. Warm during the winter and keeps cool in summer. Great for the price!

Not too thin or thick. It can be washed in the sink inbetween uses and reused after it dries inside and out.

I have washed it 3 times so far. I do not see any problems. It helps me a lot when working in the garden.

It is about 3/8" thick. I washed mine before using it and it does not smell.

Sorry about the delay in replying. I looked at the covers for laundry instructions and there wasn't any specific details about washing so as of right now I don't know.

Not very. Only about 1/3 to 1/2 inches thick. I have to say that I love the design (enough that I bought a second one with the lion on it), but I only let him use it on a carpeted surface. It has held up to being washed monthly and used 4 days weekly, but this is with family watching him who make sure that the toddler is very gentle with it.Hope this helps you. Krista

We are very happy with our Malouf sheets. There was no discernable shrinkage after several washings. You should know a few things about our household and laundry demands in order to put our experiences compared to your particular demands. I assume that mattresss thickness is the root of your question about shrinkage. It's not a big issue with us since we no longer purchase the very thick matresses which for us were not any better than those 7-9 incles thick. A good comfortable mattress is not determined by adding thickness in most cases. Especially in these days of memory foam and the prevailent use of Latex now, in our experience. We did not see unacceptable shrinkage in the pillow cases though. We washed the sheets before the first use. We use the new "steam" setting in our washer to get rid of most impurities when we wash the sheets. That gets pretty hot and we usually use that setting. Our sheets are dried whenever weather permits on an outside clothesline to enjoy the fresh, cool finish on our sheets. There is no other way to achieve this effect, but the sheets have been machine-dried a lot this season because of frequent rain. One way or the other, our sheets are still like new. We buy only all cotton percale sheets so our efforts are justly rewarded. These sheets did live up to our expectations and we could not be happier with our choice. We hope this helps and good luck to you.

It does shed a lot. You literally have to brush it super carefully. .I can't imagine the tangles that would form if you washed it so I don't recommend it. You get what you pay for lol

I haven't washed it yet but would not hesitate to do so. I tend to wash all my feather pillows etc. The stuffing does shift a bit but what I like about it is the 1200 thread count.
