Was very surprised to receive the comforter and see it labeled "DRY CLEAN ONLY." Has anyone tried to machine wash?

The tag says dry clean, which I wasn't aware of when I purchased it. However it is a beautiful comforter which is made of 100% polyester and polyester filled. I have a large HE washer which I decided I would try to wash it in, but I've yet to cross that bridge so I can't tell you how well that worked out.

It's supposed to be dry cleaned, but I sleep with adog so I've washed mine in the machine on a regular cycle probably 4 times now. Still beautiful and comfortable : )

Yes. Sleep & Beyond also sells a "non-washable" version. I received one of these versions originally and washed it. It shrank and matted and became unusable. Sleep and Beyond was gracious enough to replace it with the machine washable version. I have washed this once and air dried. No shrinking or matting. In fact I think the fabric softened a bit and became even more comfortable. I love this comforter!

It must be dry cleaned. I do not like part because some dry cleaning chemicals always stays with the comforter and I have to breath in all night long. It will be ruined if washed.

Don't dry clean this comforter.I dry-cleaned the comforter and it shrunk.Sleep & Beyond was nice enough to replace the comforter.Unfortunately, there are conflicting instructions on whether to dry clean the comforter. The web site says it is safe to dry clean. Though the company currently says it should only be spot cleaned.We bought it from a local Oakland store, run by the company a couple of years ago.We love the comforter, but don't dry clean it.http://www.sleepandbeyond.com/collection.php

We had the down comforter dry cleaned because the last time I washed a down comforter it was ruined. Dry cleaning is worth the $$ as it lasts longer.

I have washed ours; but it says to line dry. I don't want to take the chance with the dryer.

I haven't machine washed it, only spot treated areas. I think the bag says to dry clean the comforter. The rest is machine washable.

Hello Joshua,I have not heard of anyone using a regular washer and dryer. I strongly suggest dry clean as to not ruin the comforter in anyway.Sincerely, Erika StarrDesigner LivingCustomer Service1-888-879-8790Info@designerliving.com

It says dry clean only. I have only ever dry cleaned it. Has feathers so I wouldn't recommend washing it. However, this is the best comforter we have ever had! Not too hot and not heavy. Warm, light and fluffy!

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!
