These aren't designed to be washed/dried. These are encasements to protect your mattress. We also have mattress pads which go over these, and they get washed and dried. I believe they can be washed, but as a bed bug survivor, I recommend leaving these in place and using a mattress pad on top!

I washed and dried mine according to instructions. Within two years it was no longer waterproof and was allowing liquid through and onto the mattress. I will never buy the product again but if I did I would do what others have suggested and by a pad to go on top and only wash this when you absolutely have to.

I'm sorry I can't help you, Jerry. Mine is relatively new and therefore, I have not yet washed and dried it. When I do get ready to wash and dry it, I will dry it on a low setting because that's what I generally use. I can tell you that I love this mattress pad because it is soooooo comfy.

There is a thin kind of sheet tied around it. You can take it off and wash it I guess. I just wrap and extra sheet around the whole bed to keep it clean

I take mine all apart and put it in the washing machine with stain treatment as needed, then hang dry. No dryer.

Wash them in a lingerie bag in your washing machine, cool water. Then air dry.

I washed my mattress cover for the same size Sleep Innovations mattress with no problems whatsoever, twice. I was scared to put it in the dryer but it came out clean and soft just as any other laundry would. I did not use any bleach though.

I will quote from the 'manual', "Wash by hand or as follows, in automatic washer using slow agitation and normal spin speed. Fill washer with warm water. Add minimum amount of all purpose detergent, agitate to dissolve. Do not use bleach. Add bedding and soak for five minutes. Agitate for two minutes. Spin. Fill for cool rinse, agitate one minute, then spin. Dry in an automatic dryer on low heat, five minutes only, or line dry over parallel lines. Remove bedding from dryer and drape over parallel lines or a shower rail to finish drying." Also, "Do NOT DRY CLEAN this bedding. Cleaning solvents may have deteriorating effects on the insulation of the heating element."

I have never seen anyone dry clean bedding. If your front loading washer is large enough, just use that.

If you're able to use your home or commercial washing machine that will work. When drying use a clean tennis ball in the dryer to fluff it up. I like to hang it outside then put it in the dryer.

Go to a fabric place and buy a top cover for it ....I use blankets and sheets and different top covers and wash them weekly to avoid having to take off the cover.

hello, we have not washed our yet...we use a nice bamboo duvet cover that keeps it clean and hang it outside to air out when the weather is nice....it is wool, so if we would ever wash it we would only wash it cold with a mild soap like woolite....and probably go to a laundromat where they have these big commercial washers....but I don't think we will ever wash ours....;) and we never dry clean anything...rather air it out then sleep in something treated chemically!

There is a zippered cover on the mattress, but it would be difficult to remove to wash. I bought a slip on cover that comes off easily to wash and keep the one that comes with it clean.

Your timing is right on. I just washed my pet beds cover. I washed it in cold water with Tide detergent regular full cycle. Never put this cover in the dryer. Just hang it outside if possible, sunshine is a great help. Or hang somewhere in your home where it will get some air circulation. Expect it to take at least a day to dry throughly. Mine came out fluffy white and fit back on the padding with no obvious shrinkage. Good luck!

I have never washed mine. I keep it covered with a mattress pad/cover, that I do wash periodically, but have no need to clean this particular cover as it doesn't ever get dirty.

LAUNDERING INSTRUCTIONS: Machine wash on cold or warm and dry thoroughly on low or medium. (Do not wash or dry on hot.) Adding a couple of tennis balls or dryer balls to your dryer will help loosen the fill and allow it to dry faster and more evenly. Once out of the dryer, reshape the pillow by grabbing two corners and vigorously thumping it; repeat with the opposite corners. Roll or knead to finish the fluffing and reshaping.We also have a short video on our company website with some extra tips and visual suggestions. It is located at the bottom of each pillow listing page as well as on the Video tab.Be sure to let us know if you have any further questions!Best regards,Heather McCoyA Little Pillow Company LAUNDERING INSTRUCTIONS: Machine wash on cold or warm and dry thoroughly on low or medium.

best way to go about washing the outer shell is to get a cheap duvet cover and empty entire contents into the duvet wash cover and put foam back into the shell. I've had one of these for years and looking to replace it due to over 10 years of use. The one I bought had a interior cover for the foam but it gave away a few years back and that was the best solution I found to cleaning the cover.

You don't need to wash the cover before using. Yes, you can machine wash. I didn't put in the dryer since I was afraid it might shrink. It's on my sleeper sofa that I think is just a double.
