How badly does this sheet shrink if washed in hot water?

I always wash my sheets in hot water. This one did not shrink when washed. Hopefully this helps.

I put it in the washer with my sheets on cold and tumble dry it on low, fluffing occasionally to keep it from bunching up. Haven't had any problems.

Hi there. The instructions on how to wash it are on the back of the package. It should not shrink. The instructions say "Machine wash the Protector as quickly as possible after spillage, preferably while still fresh and wet. DO NOT USE BLEACH or BLEACH ALTERNATIVE. To avoid blistering, tumble dry in the dryer at medium (or lower) temperature always together with bed linens or towels (NEVER dry the Protector alone in a dryer)." I hope that helps. :)

no it did not shrink, however I did take it to the laundrymat and used their dryer on a low setting, it took a long time to dry

I really love my bedspread. I have washed it twice and it has not shrunk one bit. I hope this is helpful.

I dry mine but not on high. I didn't notice any shrinkage at all. Hope that's helpful to you.

I wash in warm water. I dry using the perm press cycle and have had no issue with shrinkage.

Mine didn't shrink when I washed and dried it. We really like ours....enough that I ordered another one for a guest bedroom.

Yes that does happen and more so as you start to wash the sheet over n over. I think it shrinks quite a bit.

I have dried mine on low heat and it does not shrink; however, I think letting it air dryer will make it last longer. I used to use the dryer but now I just air dry mine. I love this sheet!

mine did not shrink but I wash in cold water & dry in permanent press cycle. Great sheets but heavy, not good in hot weather. The one problemis that I had to buy the king pillow caes separately, the pillow cases that come with the set are a wast of money for the larger pillows.

B4 washing, it was great. After washing in cold water it shrunk more than 1/2 its original size and now sits in my box of things I don't want to throw out but I have no current use for. I would not recommend purchase.

I submerge mine in hot water (boiling water that I've let cool a little) and they shrink instantly. It's really easy!

I washed it in cold water and dried it on the medium heat setting, and it shrunk a little. I am not sure how much it shrunk.. maybe an inch? It seems to stretch back out a bit - like jeans that shrink, but stretch out again after you wear them.

We purchased the LA Baby Fitted Sheet for Compact Crib and they work pretty well. If you wash it in hot water it does shrink a bit but the bonus is it hugs the mattress better. Hope this helps.

I washed mine as soon as I got it in cold water seperately in case it bled and then threw it in the dryer and did not exsperince any shrinking. Hope this helps
