does the lining inside detach and bunch up in lumps after washing? my current synthetic (upside: water proof) bag is a nightmare after having been washed. it is paper thin in most parts, and lumpy in others--completely useless. the last time I slept on...

I believe since this bag is a heavier canvas and cotton inside it should hold up extremely well. I love mine and you shouldn't have to wash this one often. When you do have to wash it; you will want to go old school and air dry it, not machine dry, to avoid the bad lumping of the insulation. Good Luck and hope this helps.

We took ours out of the bag and let it expand for about 24 hours. Then we fluffed it in the dryer for maybe 2030 minutes and it's been great ever subce no problems and it's not lumpy

I never had any spots inside the bag. But if I had to wash it I would just turn it inside out and either spray with a cleanser or wash with dish detergent until spots are gone. Everytime I finish using the bananas I turn the bag inside out and let it air dry before using it again as it sometimes is moist inside.

As per the item description, 'Durably constructed of a stain-resistant polyester outer with soft tricot liner.' All I can say is that the inside material is very soft and comfortable. For the price, you won't find a better sleeping bag. I bought a second one to keep in my vehicle during the winter months. I hope this helps with your decision.

We've had ours for around 2 months. It's still plush and no bunching at all. Every once in a while, I throw ours in on air fluff in the dryer, and it's pretty much the same as it came out of the package. I'm very impressed with it.

I am unsure since I haven't wash mine a single time in the washing machine. But I doubt it'll break. It seems sturdy even though it feels super light. I think it'll be fine as long as there isn't something sharpy that can tear such bag during the washing...

Curious about your question I checked my two bags. I found only two that appeared to have "lines" in them but I could feel no crack or roughness on the surface other than the manufacturing ones. I've had mine several months without any problems other than one created by my husband when he put tumbler with unrinsed cubes plus soft drink back into freezer; those leaked when washed.

I washed mine twice when my kid got sick on it. The first time it came out fine. The second it came out too lumpy to use comfortably.

No. Washing the bag in a washing machine will cause the fill to lose its insulating factor. Best thing to do is unzip and let air out, then spray with an anti microbial spray. The outer shell can be wiped down with a damp cloth.

Yes it can be washed as the other comments have suggested. Don't hesitate to get this bag. Its functionality and style make this the best diaper bag I've ever had. Holds a ton! And people have asked me if it's a Marc Jacobs bag. (If you ask me I think it's better!)

The instructions say to use a machine like those at a laundromat since the material is pretty fragile and would probably tear with my home washer. I have washed it a couple of times at the laundromat and it has done well there. I dry it on low for 30-35 minutes and have had no problem. A good, warm sleeping bag for my little one when camping.

The first time I took it out of the bag the creases were noticeable, but after about an hour or so they went away. I use it quite a bit and packing it and unpacking it is pretty easy but it does leave a crease but are normally gone within about a half hour. It stretches pretty tight to the frame so I think that helps. Hope this answered your question. Let me know if i can help with anything else.

Yes, As a matter of fact, I just washed it in my normal size washing machine and it came out great. I then threw a few tennis balls in the dryer to help keep the filling distributed evenly while drying it and it is just as fluffy as when I first opened it up in it's original packaging. I hope this helps. BTW my extra large dogs lay on it and love it as well! :&gt;)

I have not tried washing the inner part. I noted that it had a zipper so that the inner liner could be washed and the stuffing, presumably, aired out or replaced rather than washed; I expect I'll be trying it one of these days myself, so I'd like to know the results of your trial!

It never got moldy but if the inner "pad" gets rolled up or flipped inside the bag it is impossible to flatten out again. Ours did and now the dog wont lay down on the lumpy pad

I just wash mine with all my delicates like hose, bras, etc. I have a mesh bag to keep the bra hooks away from the items without fasteners or zippers but it works just fine. I lay it out to dry.

Uhm that depends on what kind of sand. I have noticed that on the FL beaches (softer sand) the mesh bag does get sand in it, but on CT beaches (harder sand) it doesn't get in the bag that much. That being said I would NOT trade this bag for anything no matter what kind of beach sand. It's very easy to shake the sand out of it and I really have not noticed it in the towels that are not used or anything I put in the side pockets electronics included. Again I state I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this bag for any beach "bum" or day tripper!!!!!
