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.

It is polyester so it dries really fast. There are also 2 metal hooks that would harm your drier. I believe the directions said you could put it in dryer on low heat, but it dries so quickly I wouldn't see a reason to.

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

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.

The answers below are correct. The instructions warn against laundromat drying...don't know why unless they get too hot. I have this on my guest bed because for us it's way too heavy.

I dried it in the dryer, but I wouldn't dry it with anything else. It does attract lint that can be difficult to remove. It could easily be air dried to avoid lint.

Most of them can be used dry but its only about 20 percent as useful compare to when there wet. Dry can also mess the pad up a little. So best bet is to use them wet.

They can probably be machine dried on a very low heat just fine. The elastic might wear out quicker, but it shouldn't be too bad. I would recommend staying with the snap type though, as the hook & loop (velcro-type) might have more of a tendency to curl and catch lint in the dryer. Just make sure you do low heat because the outer water-proof layer could get damaged if the heat is too high.If you have room for one of those folding drying racks, those work well in small apartment spaces. You can easily hang this diaper by folding it in half over the dowels for those racks. FYI, I actually think it dries quicker folded in half, as then both the absorbent pads are hanging down instead of one being on top. They can probably be machine dried on a very low heat just fine.

It is actually a dry heat...probably could just dampen a towel and place underneath the pad, if you wanted it to be moist.

No. There are only certain products made that specifically say will reduce dust mites, allergens etc. You have to look for pillows and pillow covers that say this. However, if you put your pillows on high heat in dryer you can reduce and possibly kill certain allergens. If you think you have a big problem with dust mites or anything else that is a problem it's probably best to replace pillows and mattress if older than 8 years.

No problem :) I also dry them on low heat then let it air dry if it's still damp. I don't know what the manufacturer recommends but so far mine have held up.

I have not, but I wouldn't suggest to use it directly on the mattress topper as it may melt, depending on the temperature of the heating pad. It's like a foam type material and I think it may melt a little. Again, I am not completely sure as I don't have a heated mattress cover, my mattress cover is just waterproof. But good luck. I suggest you try to find out if the material is flammable.

These aren't designed to be washed/dried. These are encasements to protect your mattress. We also have mattress pads which go over these, and they get washed and dried. I believe they can be washed, but as a bed bug survivor, I recommend leaving these in place and using a mattress pad on top!

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!
