I am going to use this on an indoor loveseat, does it smash down or flatten real easy over time. If it does can you wash it and make it fluff back up using a dryer or is it too large to fit in washer and dryer?

Hi There, No the cushion does not flatten down. I have moved my outdoor furniture in for the winter and am using the loveseat and cushion in my family room. It is really good quality. I don't think it would fit in a standard washer/dryer but again - not necessary to fluff it.

Yes you can put it in the washer no problem. I tend to hand wash the cushion so it doesn't loose fluff. I truly LOVE this product and have been so satisfied with it. I use it constantly and it is so comfy for my son. Especially in the cold weather! He can snuggle right in!

The sheepskin cover is washable, not the foam . I air dry mine so do not know how it holds up in the dryer. I would think it would be ok in dryer on low heat.

I put it in the washer with my sheets on cold and tumble dry it on low, fluffing occasionally to keep it from bunching up. Haven't had any problems.

I live in an apartment that doesn't have a washer or dryer, so I send my laundry out. I had this mattress pad washed along with a giant load of sheets and towels and although I admit I was a little nervous -- commercial dryers tend to be really powerful -- it came back totally fine, still fits the bed without any problems. It helps that it's a little oversized to begin with. But still, it didn't lose any of its cushion in the washing/drying process, and it was thoroughly dry when I put it back on the bed, so....I'd say no worries!

It's a great mattress topper but I live in an apartment with small a stackable washer/dryer, so it will not fit. I have the topper under a fitted mattress protector so I just take it to the dry cleaner once every 6 months.

I've only had mine a few months, not flat yet. I do tend to smooth it out in the morning when I get up. The fact the it is removable, not attached to mattress, if it does get flat, I'm planning on throwing it in the dryer (commercial dryer) with a tennis ball. That is the same way I fluff up down jackets.

Hey Scott, indeed this can be washed. It's 100% cotton yet was prewashed for shrinkage so it should not shrink much if at all. I would take it to a nearby dry cleaners who will have x-large capacity machines & you can ask them to wash it on the gentle cycle & spot clean if necessary. You can also ask them to dry it on low heat to control for shrinkage. I would Not take it to a laundromat -- take it to a professional dry cleaners. :) Have a great day!

After washing and drying, I didn't notice any shrinking at all. The mattress I have it on is a full size with a mattress topper and it fits great! I was thinking about buying a queen for the full but that would have been far too much fabric!

I've washed mine 2 or 3 times and have had no issue with shrinking. I love it. I am able to wash it in my large capacity washer and dryer.

That is the big issue. Have not washed it yet. But sooo big will have to use a dry cleaners as there machines are bigger. Open question to really find out. Think this is my only down fall but other than that love it.

I washed on gentle cycle and lightly/fluff dried. I think it could wad and wrinkle if dried on high heat. But so do a lot of comforters.

Gentle cycle wash, and NO HEAT or FLUFF dry (5-6 times depending on dryer) comes out perfect! Must use dryer or wont fluff up. Wash and dry alone. Enjoy :)

If you look on their website it shows you can flatten it by beating it against your leg (holding onto one end). So if it is too thick/fluffy for your child, you can flatten it a bit. It does fluff back up after coming out of the washer/dryer, but you can just flatten it out again. I also find it flattens out after a couple nights of use, but I wash it once a week, so that isn't a problem for me. I was concerned about it being too thick and/or squishy to use with my 2 year old, but using the flatten/fluff method above, we haven't had any problems. I would highly recommend it.

I do wash mine on delicate but don't put it in the dryer as it will tear it apart, make a ton of noise and possibly melt...

I don't dry anything. I think dryers ruin everything; but I also live in an apartment & share a laundry room. Machine wash on permanent press. And then I hung comforter to dry. Fluffed up and does the job. I am using it as an insert for my duvet.

It will not flatten out. It will stay exactly the shape that you see in the picture. It is not soft and cuddly. I didn't need to use it more than a few weeks (when I could not lie with head down.) So I cannot speak to how well it lasts over time. I agree that it is basic foam with a cover.
