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.

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.

I would think that over time the waxy chemicals from the dryer sheets would build up on the balls and prevent them from being as effective. I use about a 1/4 cup vinegar in my washer and the dryer balls in dryer. I have no static and drying time is much less.

I have washed mine. Don't dry on too high a heat if you can avoid it but it survived my washer and dryer. And my dryer doesn't have a 'low' setting. I never bothered to check the tag though...

No instructions with the package stating if you can or not. I would think you can but would not want to put it in a dryer?

Yes. And I dry it on low heat, even though they say not to. Works fine afterwards. Mom's is two years old, or thereabouts, now.

I don't since I think the heated dry could ruin rubber bottom. Very easy to wash by hand.

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.

I have dried mine in a regular clothes dryer on medium, with no issue. If you are nervous you can always dry them on low.

It's only for dry heat, but it's gentle heat. It's the best heating pad I've found.

Around the mattress but mine melted in washer/dryer almost immediately so that it was unusable

Actually, yes on low heat. If you dry them on high heat you can fry the little microscopic fibers. The towel may not look or feel that much different but it will lose some of its ability to absorb water. I got this direct from a big manufacturer of microfiber towels. To be safe, dry on low/med low heat or hang dry. NO FABRIC SOFTENER OR DRYER SHEETS.

YES, the pad is washable. It cannot be put in a dryer - it is best to lay out flat for drying.

Yes, I even put it in the dryer but probably should line dry it. Works Great!

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.

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.

Have you put it in the dryer? I lost one of my best heating pads that way. The only thing that I can recommend is to do what you are already doing and making sure that your contacts at the heating pad are making contact. I ran into a problem like this and had to unplug it from the wall and at the heating pad also, and then making sure everything was making good contact before I plugged it back into the wall. Let me know how it goes, good luck. I have not had this problem with this item as a constant.
