Does it shrink after laundered? Thinking about the king size for my oversized queen size bed so hoping it will shrink a little.

No! It didn't shrink at all and was already oversized you would be fine with a queen I am sure of it.

Before or after you wash it and it shrinks up where you can't use it? haha I returned mine

It is 100% unshrunk cotton. IT WILL SHRINK. How much depends of how it is washed and dried. Cold wash + hang dry = minimum shrinkage. Hot wash + hot dryer = max shrinkage. I bought a Size 0 expecting it to shrink. It started off slightly too big, and now it is too small. It shrank ~4" in the pant leg and ~4" sleeve length after hot wash and hot dryer. If planning to shrink it, definitely start incrementally.

I really love my bedspread. I have washed it twice and it has not shrunk one bit. I hope this is helpful.

It shrinks if you machine wash. Don't wash it. Get a duvet cover and wash the cover. I found this out the hard way. I would tell you more but I made the mistake of washing one that belonged to a relative and she still hasn't gotten over it. DO NOT WASH.

Your timing is right on. I just washed my pet beds cover. I washed it in cold water with Tide detergent regular full cycle. Never put this cover in the dryer. Just hang it outside if possible, sunshine is a great help. Or hang somewhere in your home where it will get some air circulation. Expect it to take at least a day to dry throughly. Mine came out fluffy white and fit back on the padding with no obvious shrinkage. Good luck!

The measurements are exact. I purchased a King for the top but also purchased two twin quilts to cover the bottom box spring. AND it will shrink if you put it in the dryer....not much, but it will shrink an inch or two.

Yes, it's machine-washable. Our king-size fits (barely) in our washing machine; it's probably best to see for yourself if it'll fit your machine and, if not, take it to a laundromat that has a large capacity washer.

I bought a king for my queen size bed and am glad I did. It was too big at first so I rinsed it in cold water and dried it on permanent press setting before using. It shrank about 5" each direction which made it perfect for my queen size bed and still long enough to tuck under the pillows. I use it as bedspread over a down comforter.

I have washed and dried mine twice. It did shrink some the first time, I only partially dried it and then finished with line drying. It may shrink more if you completely machine dry. Note that it is longer than wide so striped run wide way. I LOVE this spread personally.

It is not pre-washed but when I washed and dried it I did not notice shrinking. You have to wash it when you get it to get all the starch out.

Sorry, have not washed it yet. Only just put it on the bed. But it looks like it should wash well, wish I could be of more help.

I didn't notice any shrinking. If it does it is very minimal. The twin size is very generous, which I like.

No...I'm sorry the King size will only fit a queen without a bedskirt and after you wash it it actually shrinks to where it does not fit a king at all. I now use it as a throw at the bottom of my bed as well as the pillow shams..I hope I helped..it is a great quilt though.

Hi Rui! We have a King and a queen size, both are true to size for thick or pillow top mattresses. I recommend, returning it to get the right fit so it will not gather under your sheets and create discomfort. We do not place the cover in the dryer and only hang dry to keep both in good condition. This is based on our experience with another expensive brand that did not last (Seally). I hope this helps!

I have the queen size and washed it in my home washer. My washer is large capacity top loader. It was a tight fit, but do-able. I also dried it in my dryer set on low heat and then fluffed it on the air cycle.
