Do I need an extra large front load washer for this mattress pad in a king size or can I wash it in a regular agitating washer.

I have the queen size. I haven't washed it yet but I think it'll be tight in my older top loading washer. Because it is older, it may not have the same capacity as newer top loading washers

it will clean perfectly in a standard washer and dryer. It's not as bulky as a king size comforter.

I use a front loading HE washer. I don't use it for my delicates because I don't want the friction from ball on my silks. Everything else is still working great. My towels are not having residual odors from souring or pets. I continue to like this product.

The care label says machine wash warm, gentle cycle, tumble dry low. Since mine is x long twin, no problem fitting my washer. I have had no problems fitting a Cal King into my washer and dryer. It is a large washer.

I haven't washed it yet, but it seems like it will fit in my Queen size washer! I'm lovin this pad - enjoy!

I throw the whole pillow in the washer and dryer and it comes out fine. I have a front loader. I don't know how well it would fair in a top loader with an agitator.

I didn't wash before, but I was desperate to protect my bed from my potty training toddler. It worked well, when it was tested later that night. And I put mine in the dryer, no shrinking, but it takes two full cycles to dry! And that is with an extra spin cycle in the washer. But I love the sheet. I use it in addition to a hospital bed pad, as its easier then washing and drying the full sheet every day. But I know my mattress is safe.

USE LARGE FRONT LOADER! NEVER AGITATOR MACHINE; top load agitation damages bags!! [Beware of laundramat machines if there are bed bug problems in your region!!---sorry, but I've read of nightmares.] Read labels/wash instructions BEFORE DRY CLEANING; I seem to recall it's not recommended---specifics not recalled. Maybe ok.

Connie - I bought the king quilt and purchased 3 standard size shams separately. We have all king and queen size beds. Even though we have a year old, large capacity, front loader, we continue to take the mattress pads, blankets and quilts to the laundromat 3-4 times a year. I just feel they really get cleaner with more space to move around in the washer.

I haven't washed it yet, but I would say no, it's too heavy for a regular sized washer.

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.

I also have a front loading HE washer. The soap nuts work great in it. You do need to use warm water, if using cold, soak the soap nuts in warm water first to activate them.

I have the full size and when I tried to wash it in my old washer (Maytag "Oversize capacity Plus" top load washer) it didn't go well at all. I stuffed it in okay but actually think it broke my washer on the spin cycle because it got way too heavy once wet. So if you are looking to have to purchase a new washer :-) then go for it! Otherwise keep in mind you could always take to laundry mat because in theory it won't need to be washed very often. I hang mine out in the sun every couple months as suggested with wool. Hope that helps!

I have a front load washer and have washed it only once since I bought it. But it is fine I love it I don't even use a top sheet. Len

To wash it you have to take the foam sides out. We made little pads that fit to size and buttoned them on. That worked. But I do wish there was an easier way to wash/change out the mattress because I had a spitter!

I have a generous front loader and this monster won't fit in there. To machine wash mine, I have to trudge to the laundromat and use one of the huge washers. But, it is machine washable. The question is how big your washer is at home.

I have a fairly large washer and dryer and it turned out wonderful!!! Perhaps if you don't have a large enough washer and dryer you could take it to the Laundromat to was and dry.

I washed it in our front-loading washer and then into the dryer and it came out fluffy, with absolutely no problems. Maybe some people talked about dry cleaning because their washer/dryer can't handle large loads?
