Can this mattress pad be dried in the dryer on high heat? I'm trying to kill mites and other allergens.

I have dried them in high heat and no shrinking... It is a quality sheet by far and I have them for over a year and some months so it has been through lots of washing & drying in the machine.

I probably wouldn't put it in the dryer - it feels pretty cheap. I always air dry mine.

Good question and I would think the mattress maker would have that answer.I do not know. I use the heated mattress pad on a conventional inner spring mattress.

Yes, in fact the care instructions allows you to use your drier but it must be on the lowest (gentle) setting.If the temperature is to high it will ruin the spill proof matetial woven into the protector. I dried mine on low heat and it turned out fine.

No, no steam is emitted without the trigger being depressed. Evaporation quickly dries wet areas. The micro-fiber pad is not designed for drying surfaces.

No, just be sure to use enough product - don't be stingy with it, and use a clean microfiber towel to dry.

This is no more bulky than any other mattress pad, it's just the material it's made out of. I washed and dried mine in a standard machine with no problem. The recommendation is perm press and cool water, as I remember.

The Tempur-Pedic Mattress Protector does not indicate that an electric heating pad couldn't be used in conjunction. Therefore, I think it is safe if you wanted to use an electric blanket w/ it.

I don't think putting them in a dryer would be a good idea. I have a holder I created with floral foam and really tall sticks that I put my gloves on to dry just in case I get water inside them.

Yes. You can dry any diaper in the dryer. However, with these you would want to line dry as often as possible to avoid lint build up in the pocket that's in the back of the flaps.

This has a very plush pad, but I cannot recommend it because it melted in the dryer the first time that we washed it. We were very careful and used the lowest heat setting, so unless you plan to air dry it, I would probably try the other choice.

Yes. Use only a mild detergent in the washer and low heat setting in dryer but do not use a dryer sheet.

I dry mine all the time on regular heat. The bag is not affected by the dryer.

I have not tried it, but have seen reviews on wool dryer balls in general. Some people stated that they put a few drops of essential oil on the balls. However, the essential oils that I have purchased are not supposed to be used around extreme heat, being combustible. So, I was a little scared off by that.

They can probably be machine dried on a very low heat just fine. The elastic might wear out quicker, but it shouldn't be too bad. I would recommend staying with the snap type though, as the hook & loop (velcro-type) might have more of a tendency to curl and catch lint in the dryer. Just make sure you do low heat because the outer water-proof layer could get damaged if the heat is too high.If you have room for one of those folding drying racks, those work well in small apartment spaces. You can easily hang this diaper by folding it in half over the dowels for those racks. FYI, I actually think it dries quicker folded in half, as then both the absorbent pads are hanging down instead of one being on top. They can probably be machine dried on a very low heat just fine.

we have the mattress itself in an allergy-proof sealed zipper cover. any mattress pad we put on, we do so OVER that, so it can be taken off & washed. i think the heat is so gentle, that if it was under another pad, you would barely feel the heat. i suppose you could try it and just up the heat higher.

My wife never has used this heating pad in a moist way. Sorry. Some heating pads have a foam pad you can wet and apply to the pad and it then provides moist heat. This pad does not have one of those pads, however. Best Regards, Rick

You can use it dry, hence dry heat. Or, you can spray some water on the pad then use it, hence moist heat.
