Just received the pillowcase and there are no washing intructions. Cold water? Warm water? What about tumble dry? It is cotton and appears to just barely fit the pillow before it's washed so imagine it's important to get the laundering right or it won't fit after washing, but hate to have to coddle a pillowcase.

I wash mine with my regular whites in cold water with regular detergent and it still fits the same.

I washed in normal cycle with other whites, no bleach, then tumbled dry, they fit perfectly after washing and drying.

I wash in hot water and perm-press dry, along with my other bedding. Still like new after several years.

Mine has been washed multiple times in cold water and tumbled dry with no shrinkage.

I just wash it in hot water like I usually do w/ all my beddings. I haven't noticed any shrinkage. But like you said, the pillow case barely fits the pillow to begin with. I hope you realize that if you purchased the buckwheat pillow, they intentionally overstuff it. I removed so much buckwheat that it almost filled a gallon size zip lock bag. But then again, it is all preference as to how much buckwheat you want in your pillow. Hope this helps.

Wash it with cold water in mild soapy water maybe even use a small amount of bleach, be sure to agitate it really well, but don't scrub the fabric or else you may find some pulls in afterwords. Rinse it well and let it air dry at room temperature (nothing extreme). It should be fine. I've washed it before and i haven't had any problems.

I have washed one of these pillows once - I simply soaked it in cold water an Woolite. Then put it on a towel and gently press the water out - didn't squeeze or wring. I air dried in the sun, gently fluffing occasionally and it came out very nicely. For a baby, you might think about a water resistant case to cut down on washings.

well I haven't washed it yet; but plan to put in top loading washer. I put a pillow case on it so it wouldn't get dirty.

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!

I have only used mine a couple of times thus far so I have just washed and dried itwhy don't you contact the company and ask their advice - most are willing to offer helpGood luck!

No. I wash the pillow the washer on regular and in the dryer on medium heat once a week and so far it is still fine. There is a pillowcase but it is just as expensive as the pillow so I did not get it. When I got the pillow it was smaller than I thought but it really does work great.

It is foam filled, so I believe you can just toss it in the wash and dry on low. I will double check the label when I get home and if the instructions say differently, I will respond to this again within 24 hours. I have two pillows and dryed one on low/medium setting to see the difference in fluff. The pillow that was dryed was quite a bit thicker. Thank you.

Hi Arnold - I probably won't be of much help since I bought this for my newphew for Christmas and haven't personally used it. But since I do use items like that at my house, I wash items like that in warm water (don't use fabric softeners) and I don't put my items in the dryer. If my nephew has used it, I'm sure he didn't give much thought on washing instructions lol! Good luck!

I don't know. I haven't had it long enough to require cleaning. Like someone else mentioned, I keep double pillow cases on it and so far it is clean. Suggest eHow or other sites that specialize in How-to questions like this. That's probably what I'll do when I need to find out for myself.

I have washed the pillow twice and it did not damage it at all. I dried it on a cool setting about half way and air dried to finish because I think a heated dryer would melt the casing. Actually, the dryer really fluffed it up again.

I have not washed my pillow yet but I love my pillow. I got the medium fill because I don't like a thick pillow. If I were you I would call the seller and he should be able to answer that for you.

Yea, I threw the whole thing in the washing machine, I cant remember if I put it in the dryer though or if I let it air dry. It turned out great!

I carried my daughter-n-laws to the laundry mat and put it in the front loading washer then dried it in one of the big dryers. We use ALL Free detergent. Shake the pillow really well before putting it in the dryer. But we wash the cover every week. I would only wash the pillow when it absolutely needed washing.

I washed it in cold water with fabric softener and put it in the dryer on med heat. It seems fine to me and I really love it

I washed mine on delicate cycle and tumble dried it. I took it out of the dryer while it was still partly damp and air dried it. It turned out fine.

I have, but I have never had a problem with it washing out of the pillowcase. Hope that helps.
