What are they made from? Do they shrink?

78% Poly, 14% Cotton, 8% Lycra. No mine did not shrink after washing. They will stretch a bit after being worn. Washing will return to original shape/size.

Hi,They are made of some type of gel, I'm not sure about the exact material. They come in two thicknesses 1/4" and 1/8". This listing is for 1/8" which is the standard thickness. There are other listings for the "thick type" which is 1/4" thick.

They are made of rubber with a cloth lining. I can tell you right now that mine are getting really smelly no matter how much I clean them. And the sweat collects under them like nobody's business. It kind of sucks! I've had them for a few months and I'm ready for a better solution. They are smelly and wet and slip off some times.

Mine did not shrink even after a couple washes. I think I even ran it through the dryer but don't remember for sure.

No shrinkage after washing. BUT, I machine wash then hang them to drip dry-no machine drying!

I'm not sure. They feel like fleece; like some throws or blankets are made of. And although they are light as a feather, they're solid. Other reviews indicated they are machine washable on gentle and fluff dry in the dryer. They were a huge hit with my 6 grandkids ages 3-11.

I've washed & dried mine many times & they shrink very little. Now I don't ever wash with really hot water or dry at high heat, it's not necessary & wastes electricity. A grandma that knows. :-)

No, they are a nice perma-press fabric that washes and dries well in a clothes dryer. I am pleased with the purchase and wish I had found them earlier.

Did you put them in the dryer after washing? I always hang mine on a drying rack and have never had shrinkage.

Cotton. They shrunk a little after I washed them. They still fit the full mattress but it's tough getting them on and they don't "hug" the corners.

I haven't used warm water, but I don't think they would shrink. I wash them in cold water on the gentle/hand cycle and hang them up to dry. I have several that I rotate, and I use them daily on my leaky little girl. They're holding up great.

They do shrink after drying but it's a good thing indeed coz after wearing thise couple of times they become real loose. So i just dry them after wash.

They are fabric. I am not sure exactly what they are made from but they are not plastic. I hope that helps.

I do cold water and air dry only. They last over a year before they start to lose their fit. I never have issues with smell, shrinkage and weak or lazy fabric. It's the heat in the drier that really kills these.

They are cotton so they can be exposed to heat. We use the ones my daughter has made often.
