No it keeps its shape but go for the Carter's pad that is deluxe, the one that costs a few dollars more.

The top quilted area of the pad will shrink a bit in the wash even in cold wash and hang dry. However, it still fit the crib mattress after shrinking. Just left about a quarter inch around the mattress covered only by stretchie fitted part.

No, its been great quality and still holds its size after several machine washes

I actually didn't notice any shrinking. I've boiled, washed, and dried multiple times now.

I also forgot to say you can remove head band and wash and this will also help it shrink back to original length. I have removed and hand washed mine several times and I just let it air dry.

I have washed it in hot water (I'm not sure what temperature that is) but I agree with the other comments, I would not recommend high heat drying.

I've hand-washed my hat in cold water and put it outside to dry. I did not notice any shrinkage, but I do not know how it would do if washed in a washing machine.

no, mine did not shrink in the dryer. hope this helps. I do suggest to wash them in warm water , not hot water.

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. :-)

Mine did not shrink and I've washed them a lot. However, I only use cold water.

Lay them out on a towel to absorb the water and let them shrink back up. I also spray them with a 50/50 water/vinegar solution to prevent mold :-)

I've contacted Phoenix Brands (the manufacturer) about this issue. They told me yes, you can handwash in hot water but you would need to agitate the clothes for at least 15 minutes. Soaking by itself is not sufficient to work in the product.

I wouldn't risk putting them in the dryer unless you did want them to shrink.

use warm or hot water, see this video demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqY_JtJazyw

This is a good question. I use hot water but be careful not to re-shape the container.

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

Absolutely not! As long as you use common sense and wash on the recommended temperature settings for your clothing there will be no damage or shrinkage or color fading.

You can heat shrink it but the only reason you should need to heat shrink it is if you are trying to make it look more professional since the coupler is already insulated

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.
