Have you experienced shrinkage, since it is 100% cotton? I want to avoid struggling with a tight case on my Pinzon Basic Body Pillo

nope, mine did not shrink. i flip my case inside out and put it on by pulling it over the pillow that way.

I washed it with cold water, did not detect any shrinkage, seemed to fit my body pillow the same after washing as before.

No problem yet. It is a snug fit but I don't have a problem getting the case on the pillow.

I have a deep cal. King and I have had no problems fitting. I have washed my sheets in warm water and have had no shrinkage.

We are very happy with our Malouf sheets. There was no discernable shrinkage after several washings. You should know a few things about our household and laundry demands in order to put our experiences compared to your particular demands. I assume that mattresss thickness is the root of your question about shrinkage. It's not a big issue with us since we no longer purchase the very thick matresses which for us were not any better than those 7-9 incles thick. A good comfortable mattress is not determined by adding thickness in most cases. Especially in these days of memory foam and the prevailent use of Latex now, in our experience. We did not see unacceptable shrinkage in the pillow cases though. We washed the sheets before the first use. We use the new "steam" setting in our washer to get rid of most impurities when we wash the sheets. That gets pretty hot and we usually use that setting. Our sheets are dried whenever weather permits on an outside clothesline to enjoy the fresh, cool finish on our sheets. There is no other way to achieve this effect, but the sheets have been machine-dried a lot this season because of frequent rain. One way or the other, our sheets are still like new. We buy only all cotton percale sheets so our efforts are justly rewarded. These sheets did live up to our expectations and we could not be happier with our choice. We hope this helps and good luck to you.

Yes, certain brans fit very tight, circo from Target fits , but is tight!!! Other brands I've tried didn't and ripped. I made many of my own sheets too. That was my best bet.

Mine is just stick to my skin. I won't say it is tight as I can move freely. I have checked the official website on the size guide before I buy it. You may have a look.

I have washed it twice. No shrinkage...BUT...I used cold water and low temp setting on dryer. Just so you know!

I dry at normal temperature (in my weekly loads of baby clothes) and never had shrinking issues. I think the waterproof backing on it keeps it from shrinking. We have two and they have lasted over a year for us so far with normal washing!!

Sounds like pilling. Anything with Spandex shouldn't be dried, should air dry. Wash in cold on a gentle or active cycle. I think the type of washer you have matters too. Some top loaders just beat up clothes. I have a front loader that is much more gentle on clothes. I wash my son's baseball clothing in the same load but I don't add rough garments like jeans,etc. Also zip up zippers, anything that can snag your shirts. I've never bought this particular UA shirt, but haven't had any issues with the others. I was going to buy this shirt for him today. After reading this, I hope it holds up! As far as getting rid of the pilling, I doubt you can. Sounds like pilling. Anything with Spandex shouldn't be dried, should air dry. Wash in cold on a gentle or active cycle.

Just throw the thinness inexpensive cotton mattress cover on it and you'll be fine. Found one at Wally world (make sure its cotton) for less then $20 with deep pockets. I didn't experience any body heat problems prior but a thin cotton cover will help dissipate body heat worries & protect this awesome mattress. Reviewers were right. Hard to get up in the morning its soooo comfortable. Haven't written a review yet but some advice, it might take almost two weeks to fully expess itself into that firm softness (cloud-like) that so many seek.

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

I just got mine today. It looks & feels good. My only worry is that it won't be enough for a full sew in.

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

I think so, it'll shrink when it's wet. If it doesn't fit, return it. I love mine.

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.

Good morning. Forgive my delay in responding, in the hospital attending to my Dad... You are right in that the Encase Protctive Cover has a significant amount of play with regard to the depth, but though I am rather anal with my bedding, have not found this cover in any way uncomfortable, having placed the 'slack' side-which has elastic running around its perimeter- to the underside of the mattress. You do not say whether you are purchasing the cover as 'general protection,' or as a remedy for or guard against bedbugs. Having just gone through THAT horrific ordeal, let me assure you that any inconvenience that might have even remotely been perceived by the Encase Protctive Cover would have been tolerated! Once the matress pad and then the top sheet is in place, the Encase Protctive Cover cover does not move about, at all. More importantly the quality of the Encase Protctive Cover was wonderful. Soft, pliable, and without the plastic feel of several of the covers! All and all, a good choice! We are quite satisfied with them, now using the Encase Protctive Covers to protect a total of four of our mattresses and box springs. (Though I will admit to not being quite as satisfied with the box spring covers which do not seem as durable. Were I to do it again I might choose to use the mattress covers for both, despite the cost.) There you have it... Hope this has helped.

Mine fits fine. It hasnt stretched out at all. Could you maybe throw it in the dryer for a few minutes? Thay may help.

It will depend on how you like your gi to fit. I personally like mine a bit looser and I know others that like it snug. I personally haven't dryed mine for the fact of it shrinking as others say they shrink quite a bit. So I would either not dry it or buy an extra size bigger than you think...hope that helps!! Good luck
